Fantasy football draft analysts are reassessing quarterback values as the NFL season approaches. Jamey Eisenberg identifies Brock Purdy as a strong late-round target due to his consistent point production and healthy receiving options. Conversely, the high average draft position of Allen draws criticism for being too expensive in single-quarterback league formats. Jordan Love remains a notable riser on draft boards, as projections indicate a larger workload in the Green Bay offense. Meanwhile, Jaxson Dart has fallen in rankings despite his potential as a mobile threat. Several quarterbacks, including Tyler Shough and Malik Willis, are highlighted as potential waiver wire additions for managers preparing for early season matchups.
- •Brock Purdy maintains a favorable average draft position at QB12.
- •Allen carries a high draft cost relative to other available quarterbacks.
- •Jordan Love is projected for more passing volume following the status of Josh Jacobs.
