Shawn Siegele looks at the best quarterback values on Underdog and explains why you need to be aware of the current trends so you don’t waste opportunities in the high-leverage rounds.

A little over a week ago, Ben Gretch and I drafted a Stealing Bananas team in Best Ball Mania III where we landed Russell Wilson and Tom Brady each almost a round-and-a-half below ADP. Those are obvious steals, and yet the final values could shift if QB prices collapse in August.

As you get ready to draft your $2 million-winning Underdog roster, it’s important to know which QBs are getting less expensive, how it can create extra value for your roster, and why it makes the dominant approach even easier to execute.

In today’s edition of the Best Ball Workshop, we’ll use the Underdog Roster Construction Explorer to investigate the importance of the QB Window and the Underdog Advance Rate Explorer to calibrate our expectations for QB impact relative to scoring and ADP.
