Not everyone can draft Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes each year, but there are ways around it. While others are investing early in quarterbacks, you counter by stocking up on wide receiver and running back depth. With that in mind, let’s look at four options that provide good later-round value among quarterbacks.
Quarterbacks With Good Value in Fantasy Football 2024
Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders
Jayden Daniels is a quarterback everyone should have on their radar if you haven’t drafted already. He has the potential to be the best quarterback of the 2024 draft class and be even better than Caleb Williams. Being able to draft him two picks later than Williams at an ADP of 104 on FantasyPros makes him worth drafting even more.

Daniels has Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson as his main weapons this season, but he’s also a dual-threat quarterback. Those two things make him a great value pick in double-digit rounds.
Jared Goff, Detroit Lions
Jared Goff has aged like a fine wine and produced three strong seasons in Detroit. The Lions have taken his play to a new level since he was acquired from the Rams, but he never gets the credit he deserves in fantasy. He has two of the best targets in the league with Sam LaPorta and Amon-Ra St. Brown who boost his numbers even more.

His ADP currently sits at 109 which makes him extremely tempting in Rounds 10-11 in drafts. If you focus on stockpiling talent at wide receiver or running back, consider Goff as a good value at quarterback.
Kirk Cousins, Atlanta Falcons
Kirk Cousins has a chance to lead one of the NFL’s most underrated offenses going into 2024. It will look very similar to what 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 skill players will determine just how good this season is for the Falcons. Getting to throw to Kyle Pitts and Drake London is something he will be grateful for this year and the rest of his career.

Cousins’ ADP right now is at 129, someone you can get two-to-three rounds after Daniels and Goff as mentioned above. Grabbing Cousins as a starter may not be worth it in a dynasty league, but it’s something to consider in a redraft league.
Aaron Rodgers, New York Jets
If you told someone five years ago that Aaron Rodgers would be considered good value for the later rounds, they would’ve called you crazy. Father Time may be starting to settle in for Rodgers, but he’s still worth drafting for fantasy. His ADP of 138 makes him a candidate to get as your starting quarterback much later in the draft than expected.

Rodgers will be reunited 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 expect him to still throw for between 3,500-4,000 yards and 25-30 touchdowns. His numbers though will still allow him to provide good value in the later rounds.
