Steals of the Draft: QB Edition

Fantasy Pros grabs the rankings and current ADP of every player using all of the major fantasy platforms: ESPN, Yahoo, CBS and FFC. They put that information here. I’m grabbing my knife and dissecting that bitch like a frog in 8th grade bio. In these columns, I’ll be choosing three ballers at each position whose ADPs are way too low. You can call them sleepers, risk-reward reepers, Bill Cosby creepers, I don’t care. For whatever reason, you get these guys at a fraction of what they’re worth. They have third round value, but they’re ADP has them going in the late fourth. You don’t have to feel bad for reaching far above their ADP because, ultimately, they’re worth it.

When January comes around I’ll either be really, really ridiculously good-looking or I’ll end up losing my 308 Twitter followers 😥 Please don’t draft your fantasy team based on these, or do, I don’t care. Anyways, up today we have the AFC West:

Carson Palmer 2015 Fantasy Outlook

Carson Palmer suited up for only six games in 2014 due to an ACL injury but was on pace for a career statistical season. In Palmer’s five full games last year, he averaged 18.8 fantasy points per, at least 17 in each, while posting an impressive 11:2 touchdown-to-interception ratio, which would have made him fantasy’s seventh best overall QB paced out over the full season.
