Sixth-round fade: needs 40 TDs to justify ADP; Purdy/Prescott/Mayfield better value.
Joe BurrowQBCIN
Sixth-round fade and the only overpriced quarterback in the 2025 draft; requires 40 touchdowns to justify mid-sixth-round ADP, a threshold the source views as unrealistic; compared unfavorably to Brock Purdy (who averages 19.5 PPG since 2023 vs. Burrow's 19.4 PPG, goes three rounds later, has a better play caller) and Dak Prescott (similar upside, drafted 1.5 rounds later); also compared to Baker Mayfield, who has posted nearly identical fantasy PPG (0.6 PPG less in 2025, 0.2 less in 2024, 1.5 more in 2023) while going seven rounds earlier; the source emphasizes this is a redraft critique, not a best-ball argument, and notes the late-round QB market (QB7–QB18) is loaded with alternatives.

Round six, the player I hate the most. The only quarterback we're going to talk today is Joe Burrow. I think he's arguably the only quarterback that's overpriced in fantasy... He should not be a mid sixth round pick. Uh, you know, he needs 40 touchdowns, Scott, I think to pay off this ADP... I think I can make a similar upside case for Brock Purdy and Brock Purdy goes three rounds later.
