Fantasy analysts evaluate quarterback draft positions ahead of NFL week one
Summary

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.
