As the QB16, Justin Fields is a reasonable choice for a late-round quarterback strategy. Fields is projected to earn 81.3 of his 270 fantasy points by rushing. That represents a significant rushing floor that makes it a little easier to feel confident starting him week-over-week. Projected for a 1.3 touchdown-to-interception ratio, Fields has the ability to ruin a fantasy week with multiple picks in a game.

Tua Tagovailoa isn't a factor in 1QB leagues as our #17 QB. In 2QB and superflex leagues, he's a fine choice for your second quarterback. Tagovailoa is projected to earn 38.7 of his 285 fantasy points by rushing. While not insignificant, it isn't a major focus of his gameplan. Projected for 13.3 interceptions compared to 25.7 passing TDs, Tagovailoa isn't not likely to melt down often.

Jared Goff is the consensus #24 QB, and as such isn't worth drafting in 1QB leagues. In 2QB and superflex leagues, he's a fine choice for your second quarterback.

With a projected toughdown-to-interception ratio of 2.0, he doesn't carry much interception risk.

Geno Smith isn't a factor in 1QB leagues as our #32 QB. His role as the starter in Seattle makes him worth owning in 2QB leagues, even if you're not starting him in fantasy. Smith is projected to earn 19.3 of his 175 fantasy points by rushing. While running is in his wheelhouse, it's not a huge part of his gameplan.
