Fantasy football 2023: Broncos’ Russell Wilson, Saints’ Derek Carr among late-round QB sleepers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:16:34 GMT

Everybody who participates loves good fantasy football value.And while they’re not always easy to find, one place where we can really look for big hits is at quarterback.We need only one (in most leagues), and that means that maybe 12 or 15 QBs are rostered for most of the season on a rotating basis.Now, there’s a lot of appeal now in the elite quarterbacks because they can combine rushing totals with high passing stats, so simply waiting on quarterbacks isn’t as viable of a strategy as it has been in recent seasons when pocket-passers headline the top of the fantasy ranks.But if you miss out on Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts and other top-flight fantasy quarterbacks, consider these names in your upcoming fantasy football drafts.All five should be available toward the later stages of your fantasy drafts.Late-round quarterbacks to target for 2023.ANTHONY RICHARDSON, QB, INDIANAPOLIS COLTSThe Indianapolis Colts selected Anthony Richardson with the fourth overall pick in the ...

OAKLAND — The Oakland A’s are three losses away from their third 100-loss season since the team moved out West 55 years ago. But through the historic lows are glimmers of promise that showed up in the A’s 5-2 sweep-preventing win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday afternoon in front of a crowd of 3,871.It’s unfair to ask Oakland fans to care about the up-and-coming players that populate this A’s roster. Team owner John Fisher has, since buying the team in 2005, not only ripped beloved players from them, but is on the precipice of ripping their team right out of Oakland.The new crop of budding core — Zack Gelof, Lawrence Butler, Tyler Soderstrom — labeled themselves “New Oakland,” but a relocation will have them playing anywhere from a minor league stadium in Las Vegas to San Francisco or a desolate Coliseum while a new Las Vegas ballpark is built.The ties between fan and player are already severed beyond repair.
