Not everyone can draft Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes every year, but there are ways around that. While others invest in quarterbacks early, you can counteract that by stocking up on wide receivers and running backs. With that in mind, let’s look at four options that offer good value among quarterbacks in later rounds.
Quarterbacks with good value in Fantasy Football 2024
Fantasy Football Draft Guide
Jayden Daniels, Washington Commander
Jayden Daniels is a quarterback that everyone should have on their radar if he is undrafted. He has the potential to be the best quarterback in the 2024 draft class and even better than Caleb Williams. The fact that he can be drafted two picks later than Williams at an ADP of 104 on FantasyPros makes him even more worthwhile for the draft.

Daniels has Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson as his primary weapons this season, but he’s also a dual-threat quarterback. Those two things make him a very valuable pick in double-digit rounds.
Jared Goff, Detroit Lions
Jared Goff has aged like a fine wine and put together three strong seasons in Detroit. The Lions have taken his game to new levels since acquiring him from the Rams, but he never gets the recognition he deserves in fantasy. He has two of the league’s best targets in Sam LaPorta and Amon-Ra St. Brown to boost his numbers even further.
There is only one quarterback in NFL history who has thrown for over 30,000 yards and had fewer than 100 INTs.

His ADP currently stands at 109, making him extremely enticing in draft rounds 10-11. If you’re focused on stockpiling talent at wide receiver or running back, consider Goff at quarterback.
Kirk Cousins, Atlanta Falcons
Kirk Cousins has a chance to lead one of the NFL’s most underrated offenses in 2024. It will look a lot like the one he had in Minnesota, with a clear WR1, a strong TE1, and a great running back who can catch passes out of the backfield. The chemistry between Cousins and his talented players will determine how good this season is for the Falcons. Being able to throw to Kyle Pitts and Drake London this year and for the rest of his career is something he will be thankful for.

Cousins’ ADP currently sits at 129, someone you can get two to three rounds after Daniels and Goff, as mentioned above. Getting Cousins as a starter might not be worth it in a dynasty league, but in a redraft league, it’s worth considering.
Aaron Rodgers, New York Jets
If you told someone five years ago that Aaron Rodgers would be considered valuable in the later rounds, they would have called you crazy. Time may be running out on Rodgers, but he’s still a solid choice for fantasy players. His 138 ADP makes him a candidate you can get as a starting quarterback much later in the draft than you might expect.

Rodgers will reunite with Allen Lazard and get a chance to really connect with Garrett Wilson. He may not be the MVP candidate he once was in Green Bay, but you can expect him to still throw for between 3,500 and 4,000 yards and 25 to 30 touchdowns. However, his numbers will allow him to still provide good value in the later rounds.
