Early 2024 Quarterback Sleepers And Draft Targets For Fantasy Football
The quarterback landscape in fantasy has changed in recent years with more and more managers selecting one early.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell stayed afloat in his rookie season while being forced into action in 2023 over 10 starts, but he mostly looked like someone best suited for a role as a backup.
