It's hard to believe that the NFL regular season is here, but Week 1 gets underway on Thursday. If you're like me, you still have several key drafts to complete in the next few days. This year, I published my first set of full projections at the end of February, which means I've been forecasting this season for over six months. Much can change in six months; that's like a decade in NFL parlance. So, as we finish up draft season and get ready for Week One, I wanted to share with you the players who have changed my mind and why.

The Quarterbacks Who Changed My Mind (Sorted by Consensus ADP)

  • Kyler Murray (ADP: QB9) is the best quarterback no one really wants.
  • Dak Prescott (ADP: QB10) is not a complete fade.
  • Drake Maye (ADP: QB16) is enticing but not the steal he seemed months ago.
  • C.J. Stroud (ADP: QB17) may not bounce back, after all.
  • Jordan Love (ADP: QB18) is in the mix, particularly in Superflex formats.
  • Trevor Lawrence (ADP: QB20) may finally be a value pick worth rostering.
  • Michael Penix Jr.. (ADP: QB21) is worrisome.
  • Bryce Young (ADP: QB23) is intriguing at his ADP.
  • Cameron Ward (ADP: QB24) may be this year’s out-of-nowhere fantasy starter.
