QB Dilemma in 12 team 2 QB league WHIR!!!!

Postby JaysFan » Tue Aug 24, 2010 8:54 am

So I am in this 2 QB league with 12 teams and in the draft, as you can see by my roster below, I refused to overpay for QB's and thus ended up with Vince Young and Garrard as my 2 starting QB's. Suffice to say I snagged an impressive stable of RB's and WR as well as TGonz at TE, but now I'm wondering if I can win this league with the worst QB's.

13 QB's were taken in the first 3 rounds (6 in round 1) so you can see QB's are valued INSANELY high. I offered Beanie Wells and Young to a guy for Ryan and Revis (he had previously offered it to me) and he rejected, so any hopes of landing a top 10 QB are off for now anyways.

The question is Am I ok to compete in this league with this squad???

I'd never say there is NO chance to win with the QB's you have, buy you absolutely NEED to at least net a better QB than what you have now. Granted rush/rec TD's are worth more, but even with your good RB's & WR's, I really think you'll be behind the 8-ball unless you get a better QB.

Thanks for the help with mine

Thanks for the help with mine.

Definitely need to upgrade at that position. Which QBs are left in free agency? Chad Henne? Alex Smith? Carson Palmer? Any of those guys? You have Mat Moore who has some decent upside (good rapport with Steve Smith, 3 moore-to-smith TDs in the 3 games they played together).

Otherwise just wait a couple weeks into the season, and trade some of your WR or RB depth once the QB market stabilizes... you should be able to snag at least a top 15 QB once some owner starts to panic after starting 0-2

I dont know what the other teams in your league look like, but there is a definite need to upgrade your QB position. There is always a fighting chance though in fantasy , but like the post before mine, maybe wait a few weeks into the season to see how well/bad players do and then you can make moves from there. Im sure the value of some of your players-and others' alike- will change up. Im not too low on V Young this year, I mean he isnt a top tier QB but seems more focused on becoming a better QB! Hope this helps and thanks for the help on mine!

I think you guys missed the part about this being a 12 team 2 QB league, so if you factor in bye weeks, each team has at least 2 if not 3 (or in my case 4) qb's. Most teams have 1 good qb and 1 not so good qb, some have 2 good ones but 13 qb's went in the first 3 rounds. My rb are tops in the league and my wr are great as is my TE. I think once people see what Beanie can do I can move him and a qb for a better qb. The risk is that Beanie or Best start poorly then their value drops and I'm stuck with crappy qb's.
