New York Giants

Malik Nabers is commanding a top-30 pick in global ADP, and it's a check I'm unlikely to write. He's coming off an ACL tear and a meniscus tear, and he had an April procedure to remove scar tissue. The Giants are hopeful Nabers can return to work soon, but there's no guarantee he'll be 100% — or even available — by opening day. It's also going to take some time for Jaxson Dart and Nabers to develop chemistry; their reps last year had very little overlap.

Washington Commanders

Jayden Daniels is currently the QB5 in Yahoo drafts, a nod to his explosive rookie year. But are we supposed to pretend last season never happened? Daniels was merely QB18 in points per game last season, and most of his indexed efficiency stats were below league code (only his interception rate beat the league average). Daniels is too talented not to improve over last year's injury-wrecked disappointment, but the Washington receiver room looks thin after veteran Terry McLaurin. I can't view Daniels as a proactive pick, especially given the depth of the QB pool this year.

Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia is one of the smartest organizations in football, so I expect its offensive remodeling to be a long-term success. But it takes time for quarterbacks and receivers to build chemistry, so I'm going to fade Jalen Hurts in this transition year without A.J. Brown. Note that Hurts ran less last year, with a loss of 209 yards and six touchdowns from the previous season. His passing stats could rise with the shape of the offense changing, but Hurts's fantasy case has always been directly tied to the Konami Code . I'll pass on Hurts, instead targeting several interesting QB options in the later tiers.

Dallas Cowboys

Wait-on-QB has been a cheat code for many years, and Dak Prescott checks that box this season. He's merely the QB12 in Yahoo leagues to this point, a nod to his boring-veteran status and the depth of the position. It's easy to paint Prescott's upside picture — he's working with two elite receivers and the Dallas defense appears weak again. If you head to Jerry World this fall, bring your quarters — pinball games are on the way.
