As August progresses, Fantasy football drafts are in full swing, and analyzing the CBS Sports Average Draft Position (ADP) data provides valuable insights into player selections. Here’s a breakdown of key quarterback trends to consider before Draft Day.

1. Josh Allen Dominates Early Picks
Josh Allen's ADP stands at 20.9, making him the only quarterback selected in the first three rounds. In contrast, Lamar Jackson follows at 40.8, while Matthew Stafford, who led Fantasy points in 2025, sits at 98.6. Although Allen is a strong player, the value at quarterback is ripe, making alternatives like Justin Herbert at 86.1 or Trevor Lawrence at 98.5 more appealing.

2. Patrick Mahomes at QB14
Drafted at 101.9, Mahomes is positioned as the QB14. Recovering from a torn ACL and LCL, he is expected to perform in Week 1 but should be viewed as a high-end QB2 rather than a starter, especially with the Chiefs' strategy shifting towards a stronger running game after signing Kenneth Walker III.

3. Waiting for Value at Quarterback
Several quarterbacks are available in Round 10 or later:

• Jared Goff: 114.5 ADP, averaging over 20.1 Fantasy points per game over the last four seasons.
• Bo Nix: 130.3, showing promise with new weapons like Jaylen Waddle.
• Kyler Murray: 138.2, officially the starter in Minnesota, with a high ceiling.
• Tyler Shough: 146.9, finishing strong last season under the guidance of coach Kellen Moore.
• Malik Willis: 152.1, also a sleeper pick.

In summary, while knowing the ADP is crucial, balancing it with personal rankings and insights from Fantasy analysts will optimize your Draft Day strategy.
