Overview

• USA Today highlights four mid-to-late-round QBs—Patrick Mahomes (ADP 59.5), Dak Prescott (108.5), Brock Purdy (112) and Tua Tagovailoa (153)—as potential value targets for 2025 fantasy drafts.
• Quarterback remains one of fantasy football’s deepest positions, with top-10 scorers regularly emerging from second-half draft picks in standard leagues.
• Mahomes could return to top-five fantasy form if he sustains high-volume passing and benefits from a healthy Rashee Rice, Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy after throwing a career-low 26 touchdowns in 2024.
• Prescott pairs league-high passing attempts with the addition of contested-catch weapon George Pickens, projecting positive touchdown regression after finishing 22nd in fantasy points per game last season.
• Purdy and Tagovailoa offer upside through consistent yardage in potent offenses—Purdy despite Deebo Samuel’s departure and Aiyuk’s recovery timeline, and Tagovailoa in Miami’s explosive passing attack tempered by his history of limited availability.
