These Two Late Round QBs Might Win You Everything

Hey, it's Christy from Lululemon. I'm here at the office and we just dropped some really fun new summer colors in the Flow-Y styles.
If you're like me, you've loved the Flow-Y tank and bra for years. And as of this year, it also comes in a dress and a crop tank. These are made in our buttery soft Nulu fabric, and my favorite part is the built-in bra. It makes it super easy to wear for yoga or honestly, as an everyday basic. You can find Flow-Y styles in store or online at lululemon.com.

The ultimate cookout starts with the ultimate ingredients. At Whole Foods Market, no antibiotics ever, burgers and kebabs are prepped and ready to throw on the grill. Fire up a juicy ribeye, grab creamy potato salad and savory flatbreads from the prepared foods department, and round it all out with 365 brand condiments, chips and dips at everyday low prices. Whole Foods Market, make your summer sizzle.

Typically, for the Sleeper shows, we give you a list of four to six names at each position. That's gonna be different here for this episode, for these quarterbacks. Yes, we've talked about it at length, that this year the elite quarterbacks are underpriced, namely because they all got injured last year and get them at a better value this year. But when diving down deep through the ADP list, through the draft list this year, Hayden, you and I believe that there's really only two names people really need to have at the top of their mind heading into their fancy drafts this year, and how that these late round quarterback targets could be the skeleton key to winning your fantasy league. So, before we dive into those names, let's also talk about the rubric here.
What makes a late round quarterback star?

**Hayden** (1:48)
There's like three different buckets. There's the pocket passer that all of a sudden plays like an MVP level. Last year, Matthew Stafford went 165th overall, an underdog, and he was the quarterback that had the second most points for their fantasy teams out there. Then the other buckets are, I think, a veteran changing team, new offensive coordinator, new play caller. Daniel Jones from last year was an example of that. Then the third one is just a new starter that runs like crazy. I think the second and the third bucket are going to be our answers for this.
That was Jackson Dart maybe from last year, and there's been better examples in previous seasons. One of those three clear buckets to me is how you can find a quarterback two or quarterback three in ADP finishing as a top 12 guy.

**Josh** (2:35)
I'll scale it down even more, simplify it even more.
To me, the two buckets are you need to be in a top eight scoring offense and or a mobile quarterback with Russian production and that equals your floor of points on a weekly basis. You brought up the three names that I was going to bring up to, the three late round steals from last year and you can again pick that apart from 2024, 2023 and so on. The first one is Drake May. He was obviously quarterback three in points per game last year. The Patriots scored the eighth most points just as a team and Drake May himself, the fourth most rushing yards among all quarterbacks in the league last season. Then you brought him up, Daniel Jones. Before he got hurt, I believe Hayden, the Colts were the number one scoring team in the NFL at 29.8 points per game. That was prior to his week 14 injury.
Then there's Jackson Dart, as you pointed out. Yes, he finishes the top 13 quarterback in 9 of 12 games as a starter. The team did score the 16th most points, that doesn't fit into what we're talking about. But 42.5 percent of his fancy points from this past season were rushing. So all three of those names fit in either the buckets that I brought up, and I think both the names we brought up today have a chance of fitting in at least one too.

**Hayden** (3:46)
Yeah, I completely agree. This is not just from last year. This is like the same type of buckets for years. The other new note for Fantasy quarterbacks this year, based on best ball, is the quarterback 2-3, so think about like quarterback 13 to quarterback 30 They're all being drafted 2-ish, 3-ish rounds earlier than where they typically have been, which just makes it harder to find sleepers. And I think some of the strategies that have been working, which recently has been like three quarterbacks, no matter what, I do think that this year, because the pricing has changed, we should think through that a little bit differently. But that's deep best ball weeds. I'm trying to think about Yahoo drafts in this episode.
