Welcome back, fantasy football faithful. I recently posted two columns with facts and stats you need to know at the running back and wide receiver positions. Today I’m hitting the NFL’s glamour position: Quarterback.
You can find all my offseason and preseason fantasy content, including the biggest burning fantasy questions for each team, here.
Quarterback may be the most important position in the four major sports, but that’s not the case for fantasy. True, it’s the highest scoring position, and last year, 11 of the top 16 scorers in fantasy were QBs. But fantasy football drafting is all about supply and demand, and how you approach this position varies widely, depending on how many quarterbacks you’re allowed to start.
In 1-QB leagues, you typically won’t see a QB taken until sometime late in the second round, when Josh Allen gets selected. There’s just too much quality depth at the position. But in “Superflex” and other formats that allow for two starting QBs, the supply is cut in half and they fly off the board right away. As more and more leagues adopt that approach, the position becomes more prominent in fantasy. And if you ask me, that’s how it should be, given its importance in real football.
The emergence of multiple dual-threat quarterbacks in the last decade has also changed how we view and assess the options at the position. A QB who can rack up rushing points is almost like two players in one.
If you play in a traditional 1-QB league. should you wait on quarterback, or jump at one of the elite options in the early rounds? I’ll tackle that later in the summer. For now, here are 26 interesting facts that you’ll want to know if you’ve got best ball, dynasty startup, or other early drafts coming up. If you don’t, store them somewhere in the back of your brain, for later.
2. Allen has the NFL’s longest current consecutive QB starts streak, at 127 games (139 including playoffs).
3. Allen has 41 rushing TDs across the last three seasons. The only player with more in that span is Derrick Henry (44). Jalen Hurts is fourth, with 37.
4. Drake Maye led the NFL in yards per attempt (8.9), air yards per attempt (9.5), and completion percentage (72%) in 2025, a rare combo.
5. Jared Goff has the second longest current consecutive starts streak, at 68 regular season games.
6. Scoring systems vary, but in four-point TD pass scoring, Goff has finished as the QB7 for three consecutive seasons.
7. Goff led the NFL in generating yards after the catch (YAC) in each of the last two seasons.
8. After four straight seasons with at least 600 rushing yards and double-digit rushing TDs, Jalen Hurts dropped to 421 rushing yards and eight rushing TDs in 2025 (he started 16 games).
9. Trevor Lawrence set career highs in both passing TDs...
