One of the biggest fantasy football draft strategies is navigating the turn. As we find ourselves in the midst of draft season, there’s much new information to be uncovered. While training camp is important, and there are always a few names that surprise, you pretty much have your strategy nailed down. You have your Consistency Guide, you’ve done your research, you’ve mock drafted. It’s almost that time. However, I’m going to provide one last pre-draft series that will show you where to find consistency if you’re picking in those dreaded turns.
Ahh yes, the dreaded turn. Some love it, some hate it. Whether you’re a fan or not, I’m going to show you which of those turns is going to find you the most consistency bang for your buck on draft day!
I’m highlighting Herbert here based on what I expect from him this season. LAC has spent money and draft capital on the O-line that was decimated in 2025. He has talent around him, plus the Evil Genius Mike McDaniel calling plays. If this guy can make Tua look like an MVP candidate, imagine what he can do with a talented QB. If you’re basing it on previous consistency, he could be a little rich for you here, which makes perfect sense.
Keep in mind it was a down consistency year for QB’s across the board, so yes, 65% was a Top-10 finish in our rankings. Dak is a solid value here and should post numbers similar to last season. While the defense should be a bit improved, they still won’t be very good, and that should lead to plenty of attempts for Dak to throw to one of the best 1-2 WR punches in the league.
When it comes to the best consistency value at this turn, Lawrence is your guy. The second most consistent QB in 2025 finished the season with seven straight clutch games and was a difference-maker right when you needed him the most. He returns in 2026 with the same talented WR room, a solid TE, and one of the better offensive lines in the league. 71% consistency as the current QB10 off the board? Yes please!
