Rankings are the backbone of your fantasy football draft preparation. Rather than use the rankings from a single person, we provide you with a consensus of over 100 fantasy football experts via our Expert Consensus Rankings.
Today, we’re taking a look at players our experts — Mike Tagliere, Kyle Yates, Dan Harris, and Joe Pisapia — are lower on versus our Expert Consensus Rankings. You can find the consensus of our analysts here.

Jalen Hurts (PHI)
Our Experts QB12 | Expert Consensus Ranking QB11
While Hurts was a solid addition to fantasy rosters off of the waiver wire last year due to his rushing ability, he didn’t necessarily shine as a passer. With just a 52% completion rate and a 6:4 TD to INT ratio, Hurts is going to have to be sensational as a mobile QB this season to justify the hype that he’s getting. While he has the talent to be very good on the ground and pick up rushing yards, NFL defenses are now going to be able to game plan for Hurts’ skillset with an entire off-season to study tape. If defenses can work to limit his mobility and force him to beat them from the pocket, we could see his fantasy output take a hit. As a streaming QB, Hurts is worth taking the shot on to see if he can overcome these potential obstacles. His ADP has fluctuated throughout the off-season and it’s settled around QB12 right now because of the Deshaun Watson rumors. This is a perfectly fine spot to take a shot on Hurts in your drafts to see if he can rise to the occasion as a passer. If he does – which is a strong leap of faith – then he has top-5 upside.

Kirk Cousins (MIN)
Our Experts QB17 | Expert Consensus Ranking QB16
Cousins has now finished each of the past three seasons as the QB18 or better. He’s an extremely safe option that gives you a solid floor week in and week out, but he’s capped by the overall offense and how it’s structured. With the Vikings being so committed to the run, their overall pass attempts will never reach the point where Cousins is able to crack the top-8 at the QB position. He’s a solid streaming option yet again this season and a very sturdy QB2 in Superflex leagues, but we shouldn’t be viewing him as anything more than that.
– Kyle Yates
Justin Fields (CHI)
Our Experts QB26 | Expert Consensus Ranking QB21
The hype on Fields is now in takeoff mode and it shows no signs of coming back down to earth any time soon. Fields showed us exactly who he is and what he can be for fantasy football in the first preseason game and he has the potential to be something special. We’re unsure of when exactly we’re going to get to see him on the field as a starter, so if you do draft him at the bottom of your bench, you’re going to have to be patient. Once he does take over though, we could be talking about a top-12 fantasy QB.
