![]() QB TLDR: Although the top stars are tantalizing, I’ll focus on a second-tier star, or play the value game later. I’m excited about youngsters like Joe Burrow, Sam Darnold, and Gardner Minshew, and yet none of those players are in my Top 17 at the position. The leagues I set up will likely be superflex (you can start a second quarterback) because this position is so deep. Matt Ryan might be playing catchup all year. When has Drew Brees ever let us down over a fantasy season? Tom Brady was sent to a new team just in time - the Buccaneers have exciting skill talent, the Patriots probably don’t. Maybe Ben Roethlisberger’s body really is healthier than ever - the Steelers have fun pieces around him. ![]() We know the rushing quarterback can be a cheat code, but you won’t have to give up much if you wait and opt for a stationary veteran.

(Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images) ![]() Plenty of pundits think Kyler Murray could be this year’s Mahomes/Jackson, the sophomore star who takes a seismic leap. Josh Allen’s rushing makes him interesting. I’d rather be a value shopper at this position, knowing that you can do well pretty much at any tier.ĭo you want to shop in the second tier? Russell Wilson and Dak Prescott both look like plausible MVP candidates. You’ll need to be especially sharp with your running back and wideout picks later, but it can be done. If you want to jump in early for Mahomes or Jackson this year, that’s fine. But remember, they were especially valuable for two reasons: They scored a ton, but were downright affordable with respect to ADP. Mind you, Patrick Mahomes crushed our fake game two years ago, and Lamar Jackson was that player last year. Quarterback is the most important position in all sports, but it’s almost an afterthought in fantasy. Next week, I’ll focus on more specific scouting notes and player targets and fades. When things fall apart, well, that’s why you drafted a second team, or maybe dabbled in DFS. You can do this.Īnd remember to have fun, and laugh about it all. Consider any smart opinion you come across, but make your own decisions. That’s why we have a game.Īnd most of all, no matter what you read from any pundit, remember this - it’s YOUR team. The purpose today is to give you an idea of how I will approach these positions consider them as you make your own plans. Yes, I even put some words on defenses and kickers.

That said, the NFL seems likely to start on time and have a season of meaty consequence. I try to come at my work from a human angle before anything else, and I understand if anyone has been focused on non-sports issues for a while. It’s the strangest year of our sporting and normal lives, and there have been plenty of scary moments. I don’t blame anyone who wasn’t proactive about joining or setting up fantasy leagues in the middle of the summer. It snuck up on you, didn’t it? We’re officially less than two weeks away from the NFL season.
