Best Bargain Quarterbacks

Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers

Coming off offseason shoulder surgery pushes Cam Newton down many rankings for fantasy football quarterbacks in 2019. However, per Fantasy Pros, his ADP in PPR leagues is sitting at an incredibly low 91st. In 10-man drafts, he is going in the 10th round and in the eighth round in 12-man leagues.

That perfectly would allow you to wait on the quarterback position and get an option who has been considered an elite player — when healthy — for years now. With his injured shoulder and missing two games last season, he still totaled 282.6 points.

Jared Goff, Los Angeles Rams

It seems as if fantasy experts are not remembering the season Jared Goff had a year ago. He finished as the QB7 in his third season and can only get better with Todd Gurley expected to handle less of the load on offense.

Weapons like Robert Woods, Brandin Cooks and the returning Cooper Kupp will allow Goff to be the perfect bargain once again, probably totaling even more than the 310.3 points he did a season ago. His ADP currently sits at 99th overall, per Fantasy Pros.

Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens

Lamar Jackson’s praises should continue to be sung heading into drafts this season. His legs themselves should do the talking as he has a real opportunity at rushing for 1,000 yards this season. If Jackson is the quarterback you select after filling out the rest of your roster, you will be incredibly happy about it. He will remain a bargain all the way into the season.

Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals

Choosing a rookie to be a bargain his always difficult. Kyler Murray in the Kliff Kingsbury offense, however, makes wherever you get the rookie an absolute win. His mix of incredible accuracy and his ability to run the ball as a quarterback will cause his ADP rise more and more each week.

Sitting at 102 overall, per Fantasy Pros, only makes him more tempting if you follow through on waiting to draft a quarterback.
