The most important fantasy draft decision you’ll make

Hey!

Quick tip for today - especially if you’re staring at that draft board trying to decide on a quarterback:

In fantasy, passing yards don’t win you weeks. Rushing does.

It’s easy to fall for the big passing stats. A QB throws for 300 yards and 3 TDs, and it looks amazing on paper.

But here’s the reality:

If your QB doesn’t run, you need them to be perfect every single week - or they’ll finish behind guys who pick up points with their legs.

Here’s some examples:

• Jared Goff had a career season… and still finished as QB8.

• Meanwhile, Jayden Daniels ran for almost 900 yards and 6 TDs - and outscored most veterans QBs who threw for way more yards than him.

Same in 2025: I’d rather draft someone like Drake Maye who can run for 40 yards and a TD on a bad passing day.

That’s an automatic 10-point floor.

Bottom line:

If your QB can’t run, they’d better be elite. Otherwise, you’re leaving points on the table.

Draft a weapon - not just a passer.

See you tomorrow with another tip!
