It's time for our last look at the CBS Sports Average Draft Position data heading into Labor Day weekend, as well as our first look at the waiver wire. This is a busy weekend for Fantasy drafts, and we want to make sure you're prepared. But many of you have already drafted and are looking to add free agents and alter your rosters.
You can view the CBS Sports ADP here. And we'll break down all the quarterback movement, as well as the players who could still be available in your leagues. Brock Purdy is QB12 at 99.3, and he has top-10 upside this season.
His receiving corps should be healthy for Week 1 with Mike Evans, George Kittle, De'Zhaun Stribling and Deebo Samuel ready to go against the Rams in Australia, and Christian McCaffrey is also fine. Last year, Purdy scored at least 20.7 Fantasy points in seven of 11 games, including the playoffs. He averaged a career-best 24.2 Fantasy points per game for the season, and he's averaged at least 20.5 Fantasy points per game in each of the past three years.
I love waiting for Purdy on Draft Day, and he should be a steal at this cost. I don't want to continue putting Allen in this category, but his ADP is glaring at 21.1. The next quarterback off the board is Lamar Jackson at 41.4, and there's no way Allen should be drafted that far ahead of the field.
He's been an awesome Fantasy quarterback during his career, and in the past five years, he's finished no lower than QB4, including two times at the top spot (2023 and 2021). But the position is too deep to chase Allen that early in a one-quarterback league (he should go top three overall in Superflex leagues). The earliest I would draft Allen is the end of Round 3.
Jordan Love has become the quarterback I love the most with a late-round pick since his ADP is 142.1 at QB19. His value is on the rise because he should have to throw more following the Josh Jacobs (Commissioner's Exempt List) news, which is a good thing. Love has 26 games in his career with at least 30 pass attempts, and he scored at least 20.4 Fantasy points in 16 of those contests while averaging 22.3 Fantasy points over that span.
