Most analysis for your fantasy football drafts focus on the running back and wide receiver position, arguably the two most important to do right. But you have to hit on the quarterback spot too, as that position can make or break your chances at winning your league.
Average draft position (also known as ADP) dictates how most fantasy football drafts go, and each major fantasy football platform sets it differently. Knowing how to navigate all of these different rankings, across ESPN, Yahoo, Sleeper, and others, will help you win your fantasy football league.
Take a look at the following undervalued fantasy football quarterbacks to see who you should target if you decide to wait to draft a QB until late.
Similarities between the 2024 Cincinnati Bengals and 2025 Dallas Cowboys are becoming more and more evident, with an emphasis on how much the offense will be tasked with throwing the ball. Even before the Micah Parsons trade, it was questionable at best how well the Dallas defense would stand up, especially against its own division.
Prescott’s current ADP of QB13 (pick 114 overall) puts him behind the likes of Brock Purdy, Justin Herbert, and Kyler Murray, three options that don’t have the same kind of passing upside that Prescott has. Plus, the running game around Prescott is considerably worse than these other teams, as the Cowboys will be relying on a combination of Javonte Williams, Miles Sanders, and rookie Jaydon Blue.
Many in the fantasy football community are expecting the New England Patriots’ offense to take a step forward, with that improvement hinging on the development of Drake Maye. Heading into his second year, Maye finally has a WR1 worthy of that role in Stefon Diggs, helping round out a middling receiver room.
The addition of rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson to the mix gives this offense a new identity in the running game, and Maye will benefit from this as well. Maye’s current ADP of pick 132 (QB15) really presents you with a golden opportunity to wait until at least the 11th round (in a 12-team format) to draft an underrated QB who will give your roster QB1 performances this year. With a revamped WR room, a better one-two punch at RB, and an improved offensive line, Maye is in line for a strong sophomore campaign.
The dual-threat abilities of Justin Fields put him squarely on this undervalued quarterbacks list, even if there are plenty of question marks surrounding his New York Jets offense as a whole. While Fields and Garrett Wilson are able to restart their collegiate connection, it remains to be seen who outside of Wilson will become a trusted target for Fields in the passing game.
Albeit in a short allotment of games, Fields impressed during his starting opportunity with the Pittsburgh Steelers last year. As long as the Jets lean (heavily) on Fields in the running game, their offense will be average at...
