Here is an intro list of some potential undervalued players going into the fantasy football draft. Most drafts are still a month and half away, but folks now trying to get up to speed for the coming season may want to start preparing. One way to do this is to take part in mock drafts which many fantasy football leagues via platforms allow as the NFL season grows closer. Today we will look at the quarterback position and give you two candidates to target later in the draft.
QBs - While folks can debate who to take as their main quarterback, drafting a back up remains crucial because health issues are always a concern over a long season. Last year Trevor Lawrence proved to be a steal as a solid backup. As the season moved on and Lawrence put the memories of his nightmarish rookie season behind him, his stats grew better and he became a top 10 qb in most fantasy football leagues.
On that premise, a look at Kenny Pickett who is entering his second season with the Pittsburgh Steelers might be a good selection. He is likely not going to go among the top ten or 12 selections in most drafts. However, if he is lingering in a draft and you need a backup with the potential to create better value than most anticipate, Pickett may be your best bet. He is in a good organization and will be well coached. Pickett will certainly be better this year compared to last season.
Another good undervalued quarterback going into the season may be the Cleveland Browns Deshaun Watson. Having returned last year after a long time away from the game because of legal problems off the field, he didn't do well. However, with a full spring and summer camp about to be completed, if Watson stays healthy he may provide a good value for folks who want to grab a qb with superior potential, who had a poor season statistically last year. The speed of the game will be familiar to Deshaun Watson once again, and having trained with the Browns and understanding his teammates abilities may create a lot of upside.
There is a chance others will be thinking in the same way about Watson, and he may not escape the top ten qb selections. If he is left and you need a back up he could provide solid depth and turn into a steal - and potential starting qb - via fantasy football leagues.
