Quarterbacks To Target In Fantasy Football Drafts
Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Somehow, Baker Mayfield is still underrated. It’s surprising, especially since fantasy managers usually give No. 1 overall picks a long leash. It’s like people decided he shouldn’t be this good. But why not?
Mayfield went No. 1 overall in 2018 to the winless Browns. He averaged 17.9 points per game as a rookie. He did struggle after that, but the promise he showed early didn’t just disappear.
I’m not saying fantasy managers should’ve seen it coming in 2023. But once it happened, there was no reason to doubt it. And in 2024, he backed it up again.
Mayfield averaged a career-best 22.5 fantasy points per game. He might not hit that again — he’s not a runner, and we can’t count on 40-plus touchdowns — but he’s clearly a QB1. And his team just added another talented pass-catcher in first-rounder Emeka Egbuka.
Drake Maye, New England Patriots
The 2024 quarterback class has a chance to go down as the greatest of all time. Not only did it set a record with six QBs in the first round, but all six of them are starting this year.
Drake Maye was understandably overshadowed by Jayden Daniels having the greatest rookie season in NFL history, Caleb Williams being the top pick and featured on Hard Knocks, and Bo Nix leading the Broncos to the playoffs. Of the top three picks, Maye was the only one to not start immediately.
This has created a value proposition for Maye heading into 2025 fantasy drafts, at least for now. There are a lot of quarterbacks with 20 ppg upside. As a result, Maye likely won’t be taken inside the top 12. But he can absolutely give us a QB1 season.
Maye’s 14.4 ppg average is fake. It includes the 2.1 points he scored when he made his NFL debut in Week 3 for only a handful of plays, as well as his 0 points in Week 18 when he played just three snaps. If we remove those two games, Maye posted 16.8 ppg, much more respectable.
This year, the Patriots added reliable veteran WR Stefon Diggs, rookie third-rounder Kyle Williams, and a receiving back in TreVeyon Henderson. Maye is also another year older and has an experienced, competent head coach. Plus, Josh McDaniels is back.
With his rushing ability raising his floor, Maye could be a surprise top-five fantasy quarterback in year two.
