Summary
Host Ian Hartitz takes a look at how often mobile quarterbacks have enabled fantasy-friendly teammates and applies the findings to 2021. Moral of the story: dual-threat signal-callers are great fantasy assets, but their hit rates at enabling top-24 running backs and wide receivers fall short of expectation. There are examples, particularly those that rack up outrageous volume, but generally only the game's finest talents have overcome this issue. Ian talks about the impact of this on guys like J.K. Dobbins, Miles Sanders, Allen Robinson, Mark Andrews, George Kittle and more.

| 0:19.1 | Now this is a topic that we talk about a lot, haven't actually taken the steps out of |
| 0:23.2 | breakdown to study. |

| 0:33.8 | of quarterbacks that are going to be projected to be these high end mobile quarterbacks. |

| 0:43.5 | We've only had 37 examples of a quarterback getting at least 80 rush attempts in a season. |
| 0:48.2 | I chose 80 because that's five rush attempts per game over the course of 16 games seem |
| 0:52.6 | like a pretty fair arbitrary number. |
