Josh told listeners that the market is giving Daniel Jones an undeserved pass simply because he is not Anthony Richardson and hasn’t been on the field. Josh said repeated injuries have sapped Jones’ arm talent—he no longer pushes the ball downfield with any consistency and when he tries, the placement is scatter-shot. The rushing that once buoyed his fantasy value is also in doubt; Josh questioned whether the trademark 40-yard break-aways will show up after multiple lower-body issues. He compared the current version of Jones to late-career Carson Wentz: a name everyone keeps recycling even though the tape is brutal. Josh conceded Shane Steichen’s QB-friendly scheme coaxed competence out of Gardner Minshew last year, so there is a narrow path to relevance, but he still advised treating Jones as a deep-bench flyer or waiver-wire streamer rather than drafting him inside the top-24 quarterbacks in season-long or best-ball formats.

Josh advised passing on Aaron Rodgers in every season-long draft and hammering the unders on his passing props. He pointed to an alarming 2023 profile: second-quickest time to throw paired with the league’s seventh-lowest average depth of target, yet still the ninth-highest pressure-to-sack rate. Since leaving Davante Adams, Rodgers ranks QB21 in EPA per play, and even before the Achilles tear his down-field aggression evaporated—he simply protected completion percentage. Now 41 and coming off a major injury, Rodgers adds nothing as a scrambler and bails on any play that disrupts his feet. Josh summed it up bluntly: ‘He’s playing not to get hit, and that tanks the offense.’ His take: let someone else chase the name value, view Rodgers as a matchup streamer at best, and bet under any 3,700-yard or 26.5-TD lines sportsbooks dare to hang.

Josh cautioned that Jared Goff’s fantasy stability hangs on a razor’s edge. Goff thrives on under-center play-action shots where he knows the one predetermined throw, but Josh questioned whether he can survive if Detroit’s pressure rate climbs from two or three hits a game to five, seven or ten. Because Goff contributes nothing as a scrambler or on QB sneaks, he must be near-perfect from the pocket to justify a top-10 ranking. Any erosion in protection or offensive structure could expose him. Josh recommended viewing Goff as a matchup-based QB2/streamer rather than banking on him as a weekly starter at his current QB11 draft slot.

Josh said Anthony Richardson is the clearest buy-the-dip in all of Best Ball after plunging 140 ADP spots into the 17th round. He framed it through Warren Buffett’s ‘be bold when others are afraid’ lens: drafters have abandoned Richardson even though nothing about his profile has changed. Richardson scored a rushing touchdown in two-thirds of his NFL appearances and still offers league-winning dual-threat upside that no other player available that late can match. Josh noted that virtually every 17th-round pick carries playing-time concerns—many are third-string backs or unemployed wideouts—so Richardson does not require more things to break right than his draft-day neighbors. At only 23 years old, he has far more growth potential than veterans like Dalton Schultz or Amari Cooper, who are currently selected ahead of him. Josh argued that if Richardson simply wins the Colts’ job at any point, his weekly ceiling dwarfs everyone in that draft tier, making him an auto-click for Best Ball teams looking for low-owned spike-week quarterbacks.

Josh declared he is "very much in" on Brock Purdy, arguing the fantasy community underrates a quarterback who finished as a borderline QB1 despite the 49ers leading the league in adjusted games lost. San Francisco faces the NFL’s easiest slate this year, gets Trent Williams and the rest of its line back healthy, and adds a revenge-tour narrative for Kyle Shanahan. Even last season, with everyone hurt, the Niners ranked 2nd in yards per play and 10th in DVOA; Josh believes they jump into the top-4 in scoring. Purdy quietly chipped in over four fantasy points per game with his legs and scored five rushing TDs at Iowa State, giving him sneaky dual-threat upside. With CMC, Kittle, and an elite YAC cast healthy, Josh sees a clear path for Purdy to crack the top-8 quarterbacks while still being drafted after pocket passers like Jared Goff.
