Dak Prescott and Aaron Rodgers are both intriguing quarterbacks to consider drafting when taking part in a fantasy football league. So which one should you take first if both of them are available when you’re on the clock?
First and foremost, it’s important to note that neither of them should be considered in the first round of the draft unless your league plays with unique scoring settings for quarterbacks. Even then, it’s still a questionable choice to be taking either Prescott or Rodgers that early.
Despite the quarterback position being the most important position in the NFL, besides Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes, no quarterbacks are worth taking in the early rounds of a fantasy football draft. With more and more leagues trending toward PPR (points per reception) scoring in recent years, running backs and wide receivers have become the focal point of roster-building in fantasy football.
Prior to coming to a conclusion on who should be selected, we need to look at it from both perspectives. Taking that into consideration, let’s take a deeper dive as to why Prescott or Rodgers should be taken first in fantasy football.
