2021 Fantasy Football QB Auction Values: Dollar projections, rankings for quarterbacks

The best paid gamers within the NFL are all the time beginning QBs, however in fantasy soccer auctions, the highest quarterbacks go for considerably lower than the highest operating backs and noticeably lower than the highest extensive receivers and even some tight ends. That does not imply quarterbacks aren’t precious — and it definitely does not imply there aren’t sharp variations between the top-tier and mid-tier signal-callers — however it exhibits simply how vital it’s to watch out along with your cash in an public sale. Thankfully, FantasyPros’ has allow us to use their projected QB dollar values to assist along with your pre-draft price range planning.

Surprisingly, Josh Allen is on high in line with the specialists’ consensus compiled by FantasyPros. Chances are high, Patrick Mahomes will command the next bid in your public sale, however both manner, many view these two as neck-and-neck. Neither will come low cost. The drop-off is noticeable to No. 3 Kyler Murray, and issues proceed to get extra drastic from there, a minimum of when you get out of the “starters’ tier.”

In a snake draft, you may see somebody like Jalen Hurts or Ryan Tannehill, each valued at $9 right here, go shortly after and even earlier than Tom Brady ($13). It is completely potential these gamers command related or larger bids than Brady in an public sale (a lot is dependent upon when gamers are nominated), however the actual lesson right here is how a lot projected worth drops after nearly all of your league will get their starter. In snake drafts, backups come off the boards within the center rounds; in auctions, capital is simply too precious. You are risking shedding out on some stud backs and receivers in the event you spend an excessive amount of on two QBs. 

So, when you get previous the highest seven or so, do not get too hung up on the names and even the numbers. As an alternative, deal with the rating — that’s, how a lot the QB11 or QB12 will typically go for. In some auctions, that participant may be Matthew Stafford. He is our No. 9 QB for redraft leagues, one spot forward of Brady. Nevertheless, in line with FantasyPros, Brady might/ought to go for $9 extra. If individuals in your league agree with us greater than the FantasyPros’ specialists, Stafford might simply go for $12-$14 and Brady might go for $6-$10. It is all about paying shut consideration to how your public sale  is unfolding — primarily, which stud QBs have not been nominated and what number of different homeowners have their starters.

In the end, you do not wish to pay an excessive amount of for a QB except you are assured in assured manufacturing. Just a few QBs provide that (barring damage). That is why they’re well worth the huge bucks, although you continue to should not overpay for even Mahomes and Allen. The mid-tier and lower-tier QBs can all be put in the identical pot. Ben Roethlisberger, who’s valued at $0, might simply as simply end as excessive or larger than Joe Burrow ($4), amongst others. Carson Wentz, Jameis Winston/Taysom Hill, or Daniel Jones — all $0 — might have bounce-back/breakout years and end within the high 10.

That is simply how the QB place goes. Even in the event you pay up for a stud, it is value it to search for low cost backups who fall by the cracks. Getting a $1 breakout, as Justin Herbert confirmed final 12 months, can actually repay, even in the event you paid $20-plus for a top-five man.
