I still believe, though, especially in Wilson. Tier 2 – The Passé Eliteīoth Wilson and Newton have overall QB1 finishes and multiple top-five seasonal finishes on their resumes, but the fantasy hive mind isn’t buzzing for them quite as vigorously this year. Pour one out and remove him from your drafting cheat sheets. UPDATE: With Luck abruptly announcing his retirement on August 24th, he is no longer relevant in fantasy. If you roll the dice and chase that reward, I recommend waiting until the end of the third round or later to do it and hedging your bet with a late-round investment in Luck’s backup, Jacoby Brissett. Drafting Luck is a pure risk/reward proposition until we receive more intel. We won’t seen Luck in the preseason, and while there’s optimism he’ll be ready for Week 1, some number of missed games is in his range of outcomes. That still isn’t a cost I’m excited to pay, but it’s more palatable than spending my top pick on a signal-caller.īefore Luck’s lower leg injury came to light, the consensus had him ahead of Rodgers and challenging Watson for second fiddle behind Mahomes. Rather than pay a premium for last year’s stats, you will have more success if you can find this year’s version of Mahomes, a mid-tier passer who overperforms to finish top-five.ĭepending on how aggressively quarterbacks are drafted, you might also be able to land Watson or Rodgers in the second (or even third) round. Mahomes is by no means an average quarterback, but league average touchdown rate has varied between 4.2 and 4.8 percent over the past five seasons, indicating Mahomes is due for regression in his second year under center full-time. To do so, he was hyper-efficient with an 8.6 percent touchdown rate. Remember that Mahomes vaulted from the QB16 in ADP last year to lead the league in fantasy scoring. Because I believe running back and wide receiver are shallower than quarterback, I don’t recommend paying the opportunity cost with Mahomes that robs you of players like Alvin Kamara and DeAndre Hopkins. In two-quarterback formats, you can expect a first-round price tag, which means weighing Mahomes’ value against those of fantasy’s elite rushers and receivers. Mahomes was otherworldly last year and will therefore be overdrafted in all formats this year. Let’s dig into the rankings (bye weeks in parentheses). While one-quarterback leagues have essentially been solved by late-round quarterback drafting, paying up for a high-end passer in two-quarterback formats is much more easily justified. The beauty of adding a second quarterback spot to your league is how it levels the playing field between positions. My rankings, and tendency to wait on the position, aren’t the only way to unpack your box of quarterbacks, though.
