Although the quarterback position is an important one as far as your fantasy football team is concerned, unless you draft Peyton Manning (and don’t draft Peyton in the first round), you will be better served waiting to draft your starting quarterback until the middle rounds of your fantasy football draft. With many of the NFL positions in fantasy football, there is a large drop-off in production after the top tier players. That is often not the case with quarterbacks in fantasy football leagues. While you might not get a 300-yard and 3 touchdowns quarterback every game, the top tier running backs and wide receivers that you draft in your fantasy football league can compensate for the lost production from week to week. You will need a good quarterback to compete for your fantasy football league’s title, but you won’t necessarily need a great QB. Quarterbacks like Marc Bulger, John Kitna, or Phillip Rivers will likely be available in the 6th – 9th round of your fantasy football draft. You can markedly improve your team by drafting the top tier running backs and wide receivers in those first five rounds before you draft your quarterback.
Also, don’t
wait too long before getting your backup quarterback. If you wait
past the 14th round to draft your backup fantasy
quarterback, you might be staring directly at Joey Harrington,
Charlie Frye or Brodie Croyle. While in most situations you will
only need your backup quarterback to start one game per fantasy
football season for you, remember the quarterback position is
another one of the skilled positions where at least a couple of
starters are likely to get hurt during the course of regular season.
Should your starting quarterback goes down for an extended period of
time, it would behoove you to have an adequate backup. There
should be several middle tier quarterbacks left in your
fantasy
football draft in the early stages of the late rounds. Look to get
Eli Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Jake Delhomme, Brett Farve, or even
Dante Culpepper as your backup quarterback between rounds 11 and 14. |
