2 QB League Question

[zavius 0]

I'm doing a draft next week in a 2 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 D/ST league next week. 1 pt per 20 passing yards 10/rushing+recieving and 4 pt passing touchdowns.

 

I have the 3rd pick and will get either LT2 or SA. After that I'm wondering how I should attack it. I would love to go RB and WR in round 2 and 3 but I have a long time until round 4 and 5. I'm not sure I can wait that long for a quality QB let alone 2. Am I better off going 1 RB, 1 WR, 1QB in the first 3 rounds or should I hope to get my #1 at one of those positions later?

I'm in the same type of league.

 

I guess it depends on what's available.

 

picking late in the second round, some of the players I'd look for would be

 

 

RB's

 

Ronnie Brown

Cadillac Williams

Reggie Bush

 

 

QB's

 

Eli Manning

Donovan McNabb

(basically any of the top 3 QB's on the board other than these two)

 

WR's

 

TO

Chad Johnson

Steve Smith

(basically the top 3 or 4 receivers on the board)

 

Now many of you will say 'most of these guys wont be available' and you will be right. but I'd bet at least one or two of them will be available because every team has their own preferences and some people make stupid picks.

 

I'd expect the top 10-12 RB's to be taken off the board by the time you draft again.

 

if the top 3 QB's are available or Ronnie brown or Cadillac is available I'd go with one of them with my #2 pick. or Chad Johnson. hes a major stud WR for years to come.

 

but if you pick a WR or QB, you Should take a RB with your next pick.

 

bottom line, in a keeper draft, the young players hold more value in the first couple (keeper) picks. keep this in mind when picking your team.

 

bearing that in mind, I'd take LT over SA in the first round(due to age)

 

however, you also gotta take what the draft gives you. good luck

2 QB drafts are very difficult and they can really screw up your cheat sheet. QBs become very valuable in that format, however, that also allows quite a bit of talent to drop to areas where you would never be able to get them. I was in a 2 QB league last year, and I was able to "steal" quite a few picks because of the inflated QB values. Be aware of these inflated values going into the draft and be very aware of QB runs, because a lot of talent will fall during these runs.

 

In my league last year, the top three teams had the three worst QB tandems - I won the league starting Fitzpatrick and Brooks in the Championship Game... because I was able to steal Fitz, CJ, Holt, and LaMont Jordan later than they should have been available.

Agreed.

 

in a 10 team league, starting 2 QB's means there are 20 starters, and 10 backups.

 

well there are 32 NFL teams. probably 30 of which have QB's that have secured the starting job (if we are lucky)

 

unlike RB's. QB's who dont start wont get you any points at all unless there is an injury or the starter is yanked for some reason. There really isnt a QB by committee out there that works.

 

so dont get caught without a good #3 QB. Personally, I keep 4 QB's on my roster so that I have the depth and if other teams QB's go down I can trade one away at more than market value.(it also messes up other teams... there are teams in my league with 2 starters and no good backup because a couple of us took 4 QB's at the draft table)

 

once you have all your starters filled out (RB, WR, and QB) make sure you get a third QB before most of the rest of your league get theirs and after that if you can get any QB that appears to have the starting job locked up, then take him without hesitation.

 

That is the main difference in 2 QB leagues.

 

you can still pickup RB's in a RB by committee situation the day of your game, but QB's are completely another story.
