Strand isn't ready to be the Falcons' starting quarterback despite the team's good line, standout big slot, tight end, and scrappy defense. While intriguing, he needs time to develop. Waldman suggests the Falcons would be a playoff squad with Bryce Young at QB, but Strand's current readiness limits the offense's fantasy value.NegativeRoleSep 8, 2026
Strand is a UDFA rookie preseason sensation who the source warns "shouldn't be thrown to the wolves," indicating he is not ready for NFL starting duties and should not be relied upon for fantasy purposes in Week 1.NegativeRoleSep 3, 2026
Strand has the size, legs, and a better arm than Waldman initially saw on tape; his QB coach confirmed this during the offseason. Strand earned an active roster spot as the Falcons' QB4, making him equivalent to QB2 for most other NFL teams given the injury history of the top two QBs. Waldman cautions that expecting strong diagnostic skill across the board as a rookie isn't advisable, as Strand was up and down with his reads in college. Waldman recommends knowing Strand as an option if desperate in SuperFlex formats.PositiveRoleAug 31, 2026
UDFA out of Minnesota-Mankato kept as the fourth-string quarterback for the Falcons after an impressive preseason. Given Michael Penix Jr.'s injury history, Strand could get starts this season.
