This week we\u2019ve been exploring the future fantasy impact of early and non-early declare NFL prospects. The NFL has shifted to more players being granted early eligibility and entering the draft earlier than ever. With that in mind, we\u2019re hoping to take that signal and see if there\u2019s anything to take from it since it\u2019s a way to fold draft age, breakout age, and draft capital into one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve already looked at the <\/span>wide receiver<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>running back<\/span><\/a> positions to start the week. We inherently know the league values prospects who declare early highly because they\u2019ve flat-out told them so. Unsurprisingly, both results have skewed heavily in favor of those early declare players performing at a higher level than their counterparts, but as was the case with running backs, the drop-off was not a severe as the wide receiver position. That provided illumination on that non-early declare running backs were better investments than their wide receiver cohorts.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can circle back to that original wide receiver post to going deeper into the methodology, but we\u2019re once again only accounting for players selected in the NFL draft over the past 10 years and how they performed on a per-game basis for fantasy output.<\/span><\/p>\n

For quarterbacks, it\u2019s even easier to write off a player that isn\u2019t drafted. Over the past decade, all of the QB1 per game seasons have come from just one player, <\/span>Tony Romo<\/b>. <\/span>Jon Kitna<\/b>, <\/span>Nick Mullens<\/b>, <\/span>Case Keenum<\/b>, and <\/span>Shaun Hill<\/b> have all turned in one QB2 per game season over that span.\u00a0 With that teed up, let\u2019s roll into the quarterback position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
