Should you really skip Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson in the first round of fantasy football drafts?

It’s a phrase the fantasy football community is pretty much tired of hearing: “Wait on a quarterback.”

There’s a reason why it keeps coming up — it’s a draft method that’s been tried-and-true.

But in 2020, there are a pair of quarterbacks who have put up fantasy numbers the likes of which we’ve never seen, so does this “rule” still apply?

Should you be skipping the chance to draft Patrick Mahomes (current ADP: 9) or Lamar Jackson in the first round? Liz Loza, Andy Behrens, and Matt Harmon discuss in the video above.

Andy recognizes the greatness of Patrick Mahomes — the best real-life player in the game right now — and Lamar Jackson, the reigning MVP who broke fantasy records in 2019, and how different they are compared to the rest of the quarterback pool.
