ADP Value: Jared Goff, QB, Detroit Lions

ADP: 128th overall, QB16

Ever wondered why seemingly every fantasy football expert recommends waiting on your quarterback? Well, the reason is now staring you in the face.

Without even investing a top-100 pick, you could leave your draft with Goff. And you'd immediately have a remarkably steady source of high-end passing production.

In each of the last three seasons, he has thrown for at least 4,564 yards with 30-plus touchdown passes. In the year before this streak started, he "only" delivered 4,438 passing yards and 29 touchdowns. He won't give you anything on the ground, obviously, but with aerial numbers like these, he doesn't need to.

He is a consistent high-floor option, but he might offer a bit more upside than normal this time around. He plays a fantasy-friendly schedule, for one, and he could see growth in his already electric collection of playmakers with the further development of Jameson Williams (and Isaac TeSlaa) and the return of a hopefully healthy Sam LaPorta.

ADP Value: De'Zhaun Stribling, WR, San Francisco 49ers

ADP: 111th overall, WR44 (PPR)

Stribling's stock has steadily climbed since the start of training camp. Despite all of this helium, though, it still isn't too high to make him a rather obvious value.

A lot of that has to do with him. He has a delectable blend of size and speed, and imaginations can run wild of thinking what coach Kyle Shanahan might do with physical tools like these. Stribling can be a field-stretcher, but he also has the elusiveness and burst to turn short passes into huge plays. Getting him in open space could be key in getting this offense its explosiveness back.

Some of Stribling's hype comes from the outside, too. Namely, the 49ers might wind up leaning pretty heavily on him due to a lack of reliable alternatives. Ricky Pearsall is out for the season, Mike Evans is 33 and already having trouble staying upright and Christian Kirk is on injured reserve. Looking past the receiver position, George Kittle is 32 and returning from a torn Achilles, and Christian McCaffrey is 30 and coming off of a 450-touch season.

San Francisco needs Stribling to be a productive piece of this offense, and it figures to give him every opportunity to serve as such. If he makes the most of his chances, Stribling could be a fantasy steal and maybe the Offensive Rookie of the Year.
