Quarterback is as deep as ever, but that doesn’t mean you can treat the position as an afterthought. Josh Allen holds down the QB1 spot, with Drake Maye, Lamar Jackson and Jayden Daniels right behind him thanks to the rushing upside that can separate the elite fantasy options from the rest of the position.
