We asked our analysts and friends at 4 vs 4to reveal the hacked quarterback candidate for this fantasy football season. All of the QBs below average 100 picks in Yahoo Fantasy drafts.
purdy in The best system in the world And just posted Best rated passer ever by a newbieleading the league in Touchdown passes after taking over the starting role for the 49ers. It was “Mr. Irrelevant” though They usually break out when future stars do.
Obviously, Kyle Shanahan has been sold to Purdy as a man, and he is It’s hard to argue with the results. Purdy looks healthy after elbow surgery, and will put up fantastic stats for the QB1 thanks to his system and throwing opportunity to Debo Samuel, Brandon Ayuk, George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey. — Dalton Dale Donne
The former Florida Gator is currently a QB14 in the Yahoo Fantasy consensus rankings despite being named the Colts starter prior to Week 1. He appears to be the modern version of Cam Newton and while he may not succeed in the air as Newton did in his rookie campaign, fast yards will be in abundance. Justin Fields barely threw the ball last season and finished as the leading QB6.
Will there be growing pains? certainly. Richardson’s accuracy was an issue last season, as he completed 53.8% of his passes (94 of 98 collegiate QBs with at least 250 pass attempts). It will take time to get past his lead and read his defenses. However, Shane Steichen’s system is a perfect fit for Richardson’s skill set.
Just ask Galen Hurts.
With so many tailored runs and read options built into the game plan, its wheels fit Richardson. Incoming hack for player you can craft outside of top 100 selection. — and Titus
I didn’t quite picture myself this season, but here I am. This crime has a positive side thanks to its structure. Combined with his rushing ability, if the coaching staff has more confidence in pass forwards around Jones and opens that offense, he has the eight best quarterbacks. If you wait in the middle, it is a perfect target after picking 100. – Matt Harmon
If Howell’s sophomore season at UNC had been his last as a collegiate player, he certainly wouldn’t have fallen in the fifth round of the NFL Draft, where he was a sloppy steal for Washington. His passing numbers slipped as a junior as his supporting team depleted, but he still managed to rush for 828 yards and 11 scores.
We got a taste of Howell’s experience last season and It was quite fun. He’s already finished off the starting job for the leaders and brings the dual threat ability to an offense that the playmakers aren’t short of. Terry McLaurin is one of the NFL’s ghost stars, a pass tackle player with a few weaknesses. Hopefully he and Jahan Dotson have found their forever quarterback. Howell is a Superflex priority and an important player in the league. — Andy Behrens
Even with Aaron Rodgers reaching lows on offense last season (five-year highs in INT%, five-year lows in QBR, YPA, passing yards and fantasy points), there’s a good chance this is still an offensive environment that can You help support the de facto first year starting quarterback. After struggling with health along the offensive line for the past two years, they are looking to return to one of the… The best units in the leaguethe rushing game with Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon is such a powerhouse illusion that a (very young) wide receiver group looks like they have a WR triple combination made up completely for the first time in recent memory.
Regardless, replacing the Hall of Fame quarterback would be a lot to ask of Jordan Love. With that said, he doesn’t need to be a perfect player to outpace the current QB24 ADP on Yahoo. Given the late Rodgers/Green Bay drama and the fact that the same coaching staff spent a first-round pick on Love in 2020, there’s no reason to assume they’ll give the franchise’s new face a short leash, which should allow him to rack up fantasy points over the course of 17 games, even If only we were a little stressful about his week-to-week cap in what could be quite an attack.
Love has one of the easiest quarterback strengths out there. If this young crew can rally around No. 1 WR Christian Watson, Love has fantasy floor baked far above what ADP would suggest. — Justin Edwards, 4for4
