On3’s 2024 College Football Fantasy QB Draft

Last year’s On3 Quarterback Fantasy Draft was so easy. Whoever won the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors would to take USC’s Caleb Williams, and we’d be off to the races. And that’s exactly what happened. Jesse Simonton’s paper beat Andy’s rock, and Jesse grabbed the defending Heisman Trophy winner.

This year? We struggled to make our first choices.

(1:00:36-1:02:03) Conclusion

But if last year’s QB draft taught us anything, it’s that the picks in the back half of the draft will determine the winner. Andy wiped the floor with Jesse last year mostly because of two players: No. 5 pick Jayden Daniels and No. 9 pick Dillon Gabriel. They were the two most productive players using this scoring system. 

Passing touchdown: Six points

Every 25 yards passing: One point

Rushing touchdown: Six points

Every 10 yards rushing: One point

Interception thrown: Minus-2 points

Fumble lost: Minus-2 points

Pick-six thrown: Minus-6 points

The scoring system rewards the dual threat QBs who can score on the ground, and we definitely took that into account making our selections this year. Unlike last year, nothing was obvious. And we won’t find out until the games begin whether we used the correct drafting strategy or we overthought the whole thing
