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!
Quarterback
Round 9/10 Turn (Picks 108 and 109)
Possible targets based on current ADP
Brock Purdy – Pick 103, QB 13, 2025 Consistency Rank #10 (67%)
Purdy is one of the most popular QBs to target after the top options are gone. In 2025, Purdy missed significant time but finished strong with three clutch games in his final four starts. The addition of Mike Evans, albeit an older Mike Evans, will give Purdy a big downfield target and a consistent red zone threat. Despite losing Ricky Pearsall for the year, the talent remains solid around him. Don’t forget that at some point George Kittle will return and give the offense a boost. He’s a great option if you wait for QB.
Patrick Mahomes – Pick 106, QB 14, 2025 Consistency Rank #11 (64%)
Mahomes is fully expected to play Week 1 after shredding his knee late last season. He hasn’t posted the league MVP-type numbers for a few years now, but he’s still really good. The Chiefs have speed at WR, and Travis Kelce is a few steps slower, but you can’t deny he’s Mahomes’ favorite target. Leaning on Kenneth Walker III in the run game should help him as well. You won’t get QB1 numbers here, but he’s a nice Con-Streaming option and will throw for 25-30 TDs and 4K yards when healthy.
Jared Goff – Pick 115, QB 16, 2025 Consistency Rank #18 (53%)
You’ll have to reach a few picks to snag Goff, and he’s not one of our favorite options heading into 2026. However, if you can pair him with another QB and start him at home, it’s worth a look at this spot. Goff’s career home/road split favors the home field HEAVILY. He doesn’t turn the ball over a lot, but five of his eight interceptions in 2025 came on the road, further illustrating the split. His overall body of work at season’s end on the stat page looks impressive, but pay attention to the consistency!
