Those principles also guide my approach to identify sleepers, breakouts, and busts at the QB position, which is what we're focusing on in today's Fantasy Football Today newsletter.
Picking two of those running quarterbacks to go into the season with is one of my go-to strategies in drafts this season. Quarterbacks in high-volume passing offenses - especially offenses that push the ball down the field - will always have high weekly and season upside, and those who can run the ball effectively have even more.Īs an example of the former, look to Tom Brady in the middle rounds or Ryan Fitzpatrick in the late rounds for the latter, Trey Lance and Justin fields are your rookie ceiling plays, and Cam Newton and Tyrod Taylor are your late-round dart throws. The idea there is I'm looking for difference makers at the position - not just guys I'm happy to start, but players who have a chance to significantly increase my chances of winning a championship.īut what am I actually looking for when I talk about "high-upside QBs" and "difference makers?" I wrote about that for the CBS Sports 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Guide magazine - and you can read that piece here - but, at the risk of oversimplification, it comes down to passing volume and rushing ability. That means a lot of Patrick Mahomes, Kyler Murray, or Lamar Jackson, or a lot of fliers on high-upside QBs late.
My strategy for quarterback this season is to either go for one early or two late. A few weeks ago in this newsletter, I wrote about the idea of avoiding "small wins" in your Fantasy Football drafts, and I think that concept especially applies to quarterbacks.
