Baltimore drafted Wade in the fifth […]

Once Aaron Rodgers decided to come back to the Green Bay Packers for the 2021 season, their odds to win the Super Bowl skyrocketed.

Just like Patrick Mahomes in 2018, Lamar Jackson in 2019, and Justin Herbert this past season, there’s always huge breakouts who return dynamite value at their ADP at the quarterback position, even despite the usual predictability of the position.
