When to Draft a Quarterback in Your Fantasy Football League
The quarterback position is often highly debated in fantasy football. It’s the most important position in the NFL, but not necessarily in fantasy. With that in mind, some fantasy managers choose to wait to draft their quarterback until after the first few rounds in drafts, if not longer.
Most fantasy leagues start multiple running backs and wide receivers, which means that it is important to focus on those positions early in drafts. While it might make sense to wait on taking a quarterback, having a top option like Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson can also be a difference-maker for fantasy managers. The question is, how early should you draft a quarterback?
Let’s dive into some strategies for the quarterback position and discuss which players to target at various points in the draft. We are working within the parameters of 12-team leagues with a traditional snake draft. Overall ADP is courtesy of the 4for4 Multi-Site ADP tool.
