Is there any better? No. You could argue that Lamar Jackson could be, but c’mon. Maniac Mahomes is king. Coming fresh off a super bowl, Mahomes is a legitimate third round overall grab. You should take Mahomes with absolute satisfaction. Best QB right now, and possibly ever. Fourth round steal.

Lamar Jackson
Shocking, I know. I will concede that Lamar Jackson is the second best QB in the league. And an complete stud in the fantasy universe, due to his footwork. This man broke every record in the book it seems (link to some: crazy records). If he could throw like Mahomes, he’d be the best. In the same way, a viable third round grab, a steal in the fourth.

Deshaun Watson
Losing the most dynamic and possibly the most talented WR to a disastrous trade is sure to cause some hiccups in Watson’s performance this year, but he still has a lot of talent behind him. Not to mention the talent he possesses himself. I trust Watson to lead my team and is worthy of a late fourth or fifth round pick up. His speedy receivers will amount to some high scoring games, though there could be some stingers as he doesn’t have the consistent Deandre Hopkins to dump balls to.

Russel Wilson
Great QB all around. Even with bottom-tier receivers, Danger Russ gets the job done. I like the whole organization in Seattle, including the way they play Wilson. What you get with Wilson is extreme consistency. A respectable floor and ceiling. It won’t be a roller-coaster season, but a solid reliance to build a championship team off of. Viable pick-up in the 6th round, good value grab 7-8th.

Kyler Murray
One word. Hopkins. Kyler has proven to be a pretty strong QB so far. Now, with the top talent at WR, Murray could be in for a monster season. Much unlike Russ, I expect more ups and downs with Kyler. Arizona has had a rough few years and struggling to contend with the top teams. Kyler is worthy of a late 6th round pick. With great value after that.
