Passing volume is shrinking.
The NFL posted a 59.2% dropback rate in 2025, the lowest since 2011.
That matters for fantasy.
Only 5 quarterbacks averaged 250+ passing yards per game, which is another reminder that strong QB seasons are getting harder to find through passing volume alone.
The takeaway is simple:
Elite quarterback production is becoming harder to buy with pure passing stats.
If you are not drafting Josh Allen, waiting at QB continues to make a lot of sense.
Fewer dropbacks. Fewer bankable passing yards. More pressure to find value instead of paying for name value.
Save this for draft season and send it to someone still drafting quarterback too early.
