It’s that time of year again, the most exciting time for fantasy football fans. The time to scour the rankings, analyze stats, and make those crucial draft picks that could make or break your fantasy team. While big names like Patrick Mahomes and Dak Prescott may be tempting, they might not necessarily be the best picks for your fantasy team. So who should you consider instead? Here are five quarterbacks who could give you the edge you need to dominate your league.
First up, projected to be drafted in the 12th round or later, is Jayden Daniels. He may not be the first name on everyone’s list, but this sleeper pick has serious potential. Daniels has racked up over 2,700 rushing yards over his last three college seasons, including more than 1,100 in his final year at LSU. And now, as he enters the NFL as a more polished passer, he could be a game-changer for your fantasy team.
Pair Daniels with Terry McLaurin in Kliff Kingsbury’s Air Raid offense, and you have a QB who could far outperform his draft position. With Daniels’ rushing ability and McLaurin’s skill as a receiver, this duo could be a powerful force on the field.
Next, projected to be drafted in the 10th round, is Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite the addition of some serious running talent to the team, the Chargers are still heavily invested in Herbert as their franchise QB. There’s even talk of introducing designed runs into the playbook to boost Herbert’s fantasy value. If other managers in your league are sleeping on Herbert, you could snag him at a great value and watch him exceed expectations.
And finally, projected to be drafted in the 9th round, is another quarterback to keep an eye on. While the spotlight may not be as bright on him as it is on the big names, this player has the potential to surprise everyone and deliver big points for your fantasy team. Don’t overlook these underrated quarterbacks when making your draft picks. Be strategic, think outside the box, and you could be on your way to fantasy football glory.
