Episode notes
Quarterback Draft Strategy Evolution
- The era of late-round quarterbacks as a winning fantasy strategy is over due to scarcity of dual-threat QBs.
- Early-round picks for top rushing passer quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, and Jalen Hurts are now justified.
Mahomes Value and Late QB Picks
- Drafting Patrick Mahomes in the fifth or sixth round this year offers a discount buy on a high-upside player.
- Waiting for later quarterbacks like Jared Goff and Anthony Richardson for your QB2 can add valuable depth.
Running Back Importance and Depth
- Running back remains the most critical and volatile position for fantasy success, with leagues won or lost here.
- The position has deeper talent this year, and elite backs continue to produce well into their 30s, countering prior aging curve fears.
