We are in full swing for the NFL preseason, and stories are flying out of camps. With that, fantasy football drafts are also picking up steam; many are already drafting. Today, I am going to go over some recent Average Draft Positions (ADP) for Quarterbacks and see who’s mispriced.

QB
Drake Maye – New England Patriots
Consistency Ranking – QB1 / Current ADP – QB3 (55th overall)
Undervalued
It feels crazy to say a player ranked 3rd at their position is undervalued, but Drake Maye is that guy. He was 2nd in MVP voting last season behind Matthew Stafford and is only 23 years old. With the addition of A.J. Brown this offseason, Maye has the best receiving group he’s ever had.
The consistency model loves Maye. With an 82% Clutch Rate (14/17 games), he paced all QBs in the category last season. He led the league in completion percentage at 72%, threw for 4,394 passing yards, and 31 touchdown passes. As if that’s not enough, he was also a threat on the ground. He had 450 rushing yards and another 4 rushing touchdowns.
In the 5th round currently, you could do a lot worse than getting Maye. With A.J. Brown added to the team, it’s not inconceivable that Maye ascends to another level this season. If that happens, he may not just be QB1 overall; he could very well be a league winner!
Justin Herbert – Los Angeles Chargers
Consistency Ranking – QB20 / Current ADP – QB9 (88th overall)
Overvalued
The Los Angeles Chargers always seem to have so much talent and just don’t put it together. They have now brought in Offensive Coordinator Mike McDaniel, insert cheers from the fantasy football community. Justin Herbert continues to linger in the conversation as one of the most skilled QBs in football, but is this his year to break out in fantasy?
The consistency rankings have Herbert at QB20, a lower-end QB1. Fantasy footballers do not agree with that right now and are on board with Herbert as a top-10 QB for ADP. The idea that McDaniel is now in town has a buzz surrounding the QB and the team. But last year, Herbert posted a CR of 44% (6/17 games) and McDaniel’s QB1, Tua Tagovailoa, wasn’t any better at 29% (4/14 games).
I get there is a ton of potential upside here, but the Chargers didn’t do anything to improve their receiving room, and McDaniel’s actual results last season were discouraging. The running game here may be the biggest winner, as I believe Omarion Hampton gets a nice bump, but Herbert looks like he may disappoint those putting their faith into him.
Jaxson Dart – New York Giants
Consistency Ranking – QB7 / Current ADP – QB11 (91st overall)
Undervalued
For the first time in a long time, the New York Giants were fun to watch last season. The emergence of QB Jaxon Dart was a huge part of that. His upside is undeniable, as he was QB16 overall last year in 14 games (just 12 starts). The Giants brought in new Head Coach John Harbaugh this season, who is a run-friendly QB coach having coached Lamar Jackson for years.
Dart, like the aforementioned Jackson, is a dual-threat QB. Last year, Dart ran for 487 yards and tacked on 9 rushing touchdowns. In his 12 starts, he rushed for an average of 40.58 yards per game. Jackson averaged 26.85 last year. There is also the expectation that star WR Malik Nabers will be back healthy this season.
Going in the later parts of the 8th round feels way too low for Dart. His 71% CR was tied for 2nd last year with Trevor Lawrence, Jayden Daniels, and Jacoby Brissett. Daniels only played 7 games, but if you had any of the other QBs, then you were a happy fantasy football manager. Get Dart this year, and be happy.
