Lamar Jackson has the most rushing yards by a QB in NFL history. 6,522 yards - Lamar Jackson 6,109 yards - Michael Vick 119 Games - Lamar Jackson 143 Games - Michael Vick How many rushing yards does Lamar finish his career with?

Tory HortonPositiveJul 19, 2026Zain Dhanani

I love Tory Horton y’all - just hope he is healthy and gets a chance again

Malik WillisPositiveJul 19, 2026Reddit /r/fantasyfootball

Article mentions him as available round 8+. Comments note 'Skip Willis because of the unknown' but also mention people may take chances on him like they did Fields last year. Mixed sentiment: speculative upside but unproven.

Anthony RichardsonPositiveJul 19, 2026Reddit /r/fantasyfootball

Mentioned as available late and paired with floor guy in multi-QB strategy. No strong sentiment; treated as speculative ceiling option.

Trey LancePositiveJul 19, 2026Reddit /r/fantasyfootball

Mentioned as available late (round 10+) and paired with floor guy in multi-QB strategy. No strong sentiment; treated as speculative ceiling option.

Caleb WilliamsPositiveJul 19, 2026Reddit /r/fantasyfootball

One commenter picked him up after someone dropped him Week 2, paired with Bo Nix, and went 11–3 to win their league. Expected to go within first 8 rounds in 12-team but available on waivers early season. Consensus: high upside if available late or via waiver.

Justin HerbertPositiveJul 19, 2026Reddit /r/fantasyfootball

Mentioned as available round 8+ and preferred over Kyler Murray by one commenter. Expected to go within first 8 rounds in 12-team but still represents late-round value in some leagues. Consensus: undervalued floor option.

Matthew StaffordNegativeJul 19, 2026Reddit /r/fantasyfootball

One commenter calls him 'a trap this year' due to Rams' elite defense (Garrett, McDuffie, possibly Donald return) likely reducing passing volume. Expected to go late but may underperform due to game-control approach. Concern: defensive strength may limit upside.

Patrick MahomesPositiveJul 19, 2026Reddit /r/fantasyfootball

Mentioned as available late (round 10+) and paired with ceiling guy like Murray in multi-QB strategy. No strong sentiment either way; treated as solid floor option.

Kyler MurrayPositiveJul 19, 2026Reddit /r/fantasyfootball

One commenter explicitly says 'I'm not touching Murray' but another notes analysts are warming up on him as 'high quality discount this year.' One commenter used him as ceiling guy paired with Kyler + Justin Fields, then traded for Drake Maye. Mixed sentiment: some see upside, others avoid due to injury/volatility history.

Baker MayfieldPositiveJul 19, 2026Reddit /r/fantasyfootball

One commenter won a Yahoo H2H Prize League with Baker Mayfield. Expected to go within first 8 rounds in 12-team but available later in some formats. Consensus: undervalued late-round option with proven upside.

Bo NixPositiveJul 19, 2026Reddit /r/fantasyfootball

Cited as QB7 finish 2/2 years and 'getting slept on in fantasy.' One commenter is 'delighted to take him in the 8th or 9th round' despite ankle injury concern. Another notes Denver added Waddle and he has decent rushing floor. Expected to go late (round 8–9) due to injury and being undervalued. Consensus: strong value if healthy.

Trevor LawrencePositiveJul 19, 2026Reddit /r/fantasyfootball

Article mentions him as available round 8+. Comments note he's been rushing since his bye last season and should be in top tier of late-round options. One commenter drafted him late, he had a good year, but was dropped for Drake Maye mid-season. Expected to go within first 8 rounds in 12-team leagues. Consensus: undervalued rushing upside.

Jared GoffPositiveJul 19, 2026Reddit /r/fantasyfootball

Dak PrescottPositiveJul 19, 2026Reddit /r/fantasyfootball

Repeatedly cited as late-round value and floor guy in multi-QB pairs. One commenter won a league using Dak + Russell Wilson strategy (Dak hit). Another cycled through Dak late in 2025 and found success. Comments note he's available round 12+ and shouldn't be benched even if paired with ceiling guy. Consensus: reliable floor with upside.

Brock PurdyPositiveJul 19, 2026Reddit /r/fantasyfootball

Frequently mentioned as floor guy to pair with ceiling QB (e.g., Maye + Purdy). ESPN cheatsheet ranks him QB11. One commenter used him as floor in multi-QB strategy, then dumped him once Maye proved elite. Another notes he's available late and pairs well with high-upside dart throws. Concern: Week 1 injury risk (one commenter drafted him late, he got hurt Week 1, forced trade for Maye).
