Every Fantasy Football Quarterback With Rushing Upside In 2024
The quarterback position has changed a lot over the years in fantasy. Fantasy managers used to solely target quarterbacks who could throw for over 4,500 yards and 30 touchdowns.

Minnesota Vikings rookie first-round quarterback J.J. McCarthy is not focused too much on trying to win the starting job in his first NFL season. "The process is the progress," McCarthy said.
