Best Pick: Marcus Mariota

For yet another year, the late-round quarterback method seems like the way to go in 2017. Marcus Mariota was drafted in the 13th round, amidst players who may never even start for your fantasy team.

Getting a quarterback with top-10 potential this late in the draft is ideal. In fact, our numbers project Mari-GOAT-a to finish 10th among quarterbacks. In your casual home league, quarterbacks will likely go earlier, but -- spoiler alert -- reliable passers like Andy Dalton, Philip Rivers, and Eli Manning ended up going undrafted in our mock. Similar quarterbacks may be available for your streaming needs early in the season.

Mariota's current ADP is 11th among quarterbacks. His second-half schedule is relatively easy compared to most and he gets a juicy matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in the fantasy football playoffs.
