Ben Cummins highlighted Bryce Young as a priority late-round stab, ranking him QB22 (133 overall) versus an ADP of 154 (QB23). From Weeks 8-18 last season Young ranked 7th in PFF passing grade, 2nd in Big-Time Throws (26), 8th in average depth of target (9.3) and 11th in pressure-to-sack rate (14.9%), metrics Cummins said confirm the All-22 tape that showed advanced anticipation, processing and accuracy. Continuity with head coach Dave Canales plus a huge talent infusion—6'5" Tetairoa McMillan drafted 8th overall to be the alpha, allowing Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker and Hunter Renfrow easier coverage—sets the stage for a noticeable Year-over-Year jump. Cummins called Young a perfect QB3 who can spike multiple usable weeks in Best Ball builds.

Ben Cummins ranked Trevor Lawrence QB17 (115 overall) but noted the market is even lower at 131 overall (QB19), presenting an easy buy. Lawrence was QB11 and QB16 in points per game in 2022-23 before last season’s injury issues. Cummins expects a career-best campaign after Jacksonville hired offensive-minded head coach Liam Coen, retained breakout star Brian Thomas Jr. and spent the No. 2 pick on two-way phenom Travis Hunter, giving Lawrence his most dynamic receiver trio to date. With health restored and upgraded scheme/weapons, Cummins believes Lawrence comfortably outscores his QB19 draft slot in Best Ball tournaments.

Ben Cummins advised scooping up Justin Herbert at his 125th-overall ADP (QB17), five spots below Cummins’ own QB10 ranking. Herbert already beat that price last year (QB15 in points per game) and now gets a turbo-charged supporting cast: first-round RB Omarion Hampton, boundary playmakers Tre Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith, freak-athlete TE Oronde Gadsden II and free-agent bruiser Najee Harris behind an already strong offensive line. With Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman back for Year 2, Cummins expects a more efficient run game to create explosive play-action shots for Herbert while the rookie wideouts stretch the field and create space for Ladd McConkey. The analyst called Herbert a clear bounce-back candidate who should beat his QB17 price handily in Best Ball formats.

Ben Cummins said Justin Fields is a smash value at his current Underdog ADP of 102 overall (QB10) because his recent production sets that price as the absolute floor. Fields has finished QB5, QB10 and QB7 in fantasy points per game the last three seasons while ranking no worse than QB5 in points per drop-back each year thanks to his elite rushing profile. Cummins reminded readers that Fields erupted for 1,143 rushing yards and eight scores in 2022 and still punched in five rushing TDs in only six starts last year. With the Jets projected to trail often, Cummins expects sustained pass/run volume and noted that Fields faces zero competition for snaps in his new home. He ranked the dual threat 95th overall (QB8) and urged drafters to pounce on the market discount in Best Ball tournaments.
