Fantasy analysts identify three quarterbacks to fade this season
Summary

Yahoo Sports analysts highlight three quarterbacks to avoid based on their average draft position. Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs, listed at an ADP of 100, faces concerns regarding his offensive support and injury recovery. Lamar Jackson of the Ravens has an ADP of 38, but analysts argue that there are better options available at that price point, especially with a new play-caller and injury risks. Jaxson Dart of the Giants, with an ADP of 88, raises questions about consistency and injury history after a limited number of starts last season. As the fantasy draft season approaches, these evaluations aim to guide managers in making informed decisions.
