Graham Barfield labeled Dak Prescott a screaming value at his QB14 ADP (114 overall). Even after a hamstring-marred 2024, Prescott still ranks QB8 in fantasy points per game (18.8), QB6 in passing yards per game (259.8), and QB9 in touchdown rate (5.5 %) across the last two seasons. Before the injury, he delivered five straight top-12 fantasy finishes. Barfield highlighted Dak’s spike-week profile: 29 % of his starts since 2023 have been top-5 QB weeks, the sixth-best rate in the NFL and only two percentage points behind Joe Burrow. Efficiency versus man coverage remains elite—8.1 YPA last season and 9.2 YPA the year prior. Dallas upgraded the receiver room with contested-catch maven George Pickens, giving Prescott an added downfield weapon. Barfield wants to take advantage of a market discount and load up on Dak as a mid-round quarterback in Best Ball tournaments.
Graham Barfield urged drafters to scoop Brock Purdy at his 104 ADP (Round 9), noting he has quietly produced top-12 weekly fantasy finishes in 61 % of starts over the past two seasons—sixth-best in the league and sandwiched between names that cost two or three rounds more. Purdy is coming off a season where only Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts, Jayden Daniels, Josh Allen, and Joe Burrow were more consistent. Barfield tacked on an extra boost by spotlighting the 49ers’ 2025 slate, which owns the league’s easiest strength of schedule by opponents’ projected wins and the third-easiest schedule by adjusted fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks. With elite weapons and Kyle Shanahan’s efficiency, Barfield believes Purdy is mispriced and should be a core Best Ball exposure at 20 % or more.
Graham Barfield called Jayden Daniels his No. 1 quarterback target in Underdog Best Ball drafts at an ADP of 42, insisting the Round-4 price still underestimates Daniels’ asymmetric upside. Barfield reminded readers that Daniels’ 22.2 fantasy points per game as a rookie trails only Cam Newton all-time, and if you throw out the Week 7 ribs exit, Daniels actually produced 23.7 FPG—a threshold only 28 QB seasons have ever reached. The rookie averaged 52.4 rushing yards per game (third-highest for a rookie, 11th-best in any season), giving him an elite floor/ceiling combo. He also posted a 78 % catchable-pass rate, out-pacing fellow dual threats Jalen Hurts (75 %), Lamar Jackson (73 %), and Josh Allen (72 %). Barfield added a third layer of upside via volume: Kliff Kingsbury’s offense ranked 3rd in plays per game (68) and 8th in pace, marking Kingsbury’s fifth straight top-12 pace finish. The blend of elite rushing, pinpoint accuracy, and fast tempo makes Daniels a player Barfield wants on at least 20-22 % of his Best Ball Mania IV teams.
