Best Pick: Drew Brees
The fact that most of the participants in this draft waited on their quarterback made Drew Brees an excellent value in the sixth round.
Brees went just ahead of players like Jeremy Maclin, Frank Gore, and C.J. Anderson -- guys who lack the positional upside that Brees possesses, since he has a decent chance to finish the season as the top fantasy quarterback. Bovada, an online sportsbook, has Brees as the favorite to lead the league in passing yards in 2017, which he's done for five of the past six seasons.
If you look at the all-time list of quarterbacks with the most passing yards in a single season, Brees appears five times in the top eight.
The sixth round seems to be a valuable spot for a guy who could be the best quarterback in fantasy.
