After 9 weeks, how well have the masses done picking QB's? Here they are, in order of commonality from the start:
2383 - Howell ($8) - There were 27 QB's more expensive, yet he is currently QB10 with 24.5 PPG - the masses hit a home run with this pick
1848 - Pickett ($10) - His 14.3 PPG wouldn't even rank him in the top 20 WR's, let alone QB's - a massive bust that nearly 20% chose
1698 - Love ($9) - Gave owners hope with a great start thru 3 games (29 PPG), but has averaged over 10 points less during the next 5
1327 - Tagovailoa ($14) - Everyone knew the price was right, but only the fearless rostered him - they're reaping the rewards with 26.8 PPG (QB5)
1318 - Goff ($14) - The way the Lions are playing, you would assume Jared would be higher than QB14 - not good, not bad, average for his price
1310 - Rodgers ($14) - We'll never know what could have been, or will we? Wouldn't it be amazing for him to return for the finals in week 15?
1255 - Richardson ($15) - Fun watching him early on, but cut down by injury. Fun fact - if you had rostered Minshew too, they combine for QB11
1206 - Lawrence ($19) - 9 passing TD's in 8 games doesn't cut it for the 8th most expensive contest QB. Sad fact - Mac Jones has more TD's
1193 - Carr ($11) - Weeks 1-4 were a disaster, but hasn't had a game under 20 since. Only Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts can say the same
1091 - Herbert ($21) - He's been fine at 25.5 PPG (QB7), but not quite electric. I only rostered Herbert & Howell, and have used Howell more
960 - Fields ($20) - 2 monster games in weeks 4 & 5, but very little offered in the other 4 weeks he played. 82 owners want him back ASAP
917 - Hurts ($25) - Most common of the trio of top dogs, he trails only Josh Allen with 30.3 PPG. Only Mostert & CMC have more rushing TD's
867 - Jackson ($22) - All other QB's with 9 games played have more passing TD's - this contest is 6 points per, so he sits at QB9 with 24.7 PPG
852 - Mahomes ($25) - Passing-wise, he is very similar to Allen/Hurts, but he can't keep pace with no rushing TD's - 26.9 PPG ranks him QB4
774 - Purdy ($12) - 23.9 PPG ties him with Dak for QB12 - 11th in passing yards, despite playing in only 8 games and being 27th in attempts
761 - Jones (Daniel) ($16) - I actually feel sorry for him, and I hate the Giants. Look at the bright side - in week 2, he averaged 38.95 PPG
714 - Smith ($16) - Remember 2022 when Geno was QB5? Under 225 passing YPG won't cut it for a guy with 53 rushing yards and no TD's
596 - Cousins ($17) - How many knew he was averaging 27.8 PPG when he went down? And the last 3 games were without his all-world WR!
562 - Burrow ($21) - Calf injury moved him down the commonality list, but he's coming back - 46.7 pts in his first 4 games; 120.45 in his last 4
438 - Ridder ($7) - Exactly what you'd expect from a $7 QB - 4 games over 20 pts, 4 games under 15 pts, and then he loses his job to a $4 QB
400 - Allen ($25) - I fully believe his low commonality compared to Hurts & Mahomes is due to his later bye - He is the contest QB1 at 31.1 PPG
396 - Prescott ($16) - 6 TD passes through the first 6 games was pitiful - 7 TD's and 678 passing yards in 2 games since their bye is fantastic
338 - Wilson ($13) - In this contest he is quietly QB11 with 24.1 PPG - he has 1 less passing TD than Mahomes, but with 101 less attempts
333 - Mayfield ($7) - 2 complete dud games, 5 games over 20, and week 4 with 32. I think he is playing well enough to keep his job this year
320 - Young ($9) - Panthers forgot to put talent around their prized possession, and it's showing. He's playing like a rookie, for God sakes!
280 - Garoppolo ($9) - If you're feeling bad for choosing Bryce, just look here. Jimmy got benched after 6 games, and still leads the NFL in INT's
277 - Stafford ($10) - His best game of 23.1 is lower than the average game of 14 other QB's - perhaps his bad back is catching up to him?
253 - Tannehill ($8) - 2 TD's and 6 INT's thru first 6 games - put up only 1 useful week before injury/benching - he ain't getting his job back
241 - Watson ($18) - A 5.81% survival rate will happen when you are priced as a top 10 QB and miss half the games, and suck the other half
237 - Jones (Mac) ($8) - Scored 34.3 points in week 1. Other than that, he has 1 20-pt game, 4 in the teens, and 3 in single digits - he bad
143 - Stroud ($9) - 25 geniuses remain (or is it genii) with QB6, who's averaging 26.4 PPG - just think... twice as many people chose Jimmy G
76 - White ($4) - Let's face it - anyone who chose this guy was/is rooting for a major Tua concussion. Has has shown up in the stat log twice
39 - Mariota ($3) - 3 of the 7 remaining owners also have Hurts; I'm sure they hope they never use him - the other 4 have Hurts voodoo dolls
27 - Stidham ($3) - Almost played in the Dolphins blowout game, but didn't - Fun fact - FBG lists his career completion percentage as 163.9%
24 - Levis ($3) - Every year a few cheapie QB's get a shot, and Will got his. Act 1 was way better than Act 2 - Tannehill is now the understudy
22 - Murray ($15) - Set to make his debut this week for 2 folks - one has only Mayfield and the other has only Allen, so both are ecstatic
19 - Brissett ($5) - Young Sam Howell has held off the 30-yr old journeyman - only 3 owners remain, 1 of which is rostering Howell
16 - Heinicke ($4) - Took over in week 8, and looked decent enough to retain the job, but wouldn't be surprised to see Ridder again
16 - Minshew ($6) - Normally cheap rare QB's have decent survival rates, but not Gardner - only 1 remains (6.25%), and he also has ARich
14 - Darnold ($7) - His last owner bit the dust in week 9
12 - Zappe ($3) - His last owner also bit the dust in week 9
9 - Lance ($7) - 1 team remains, with a tandem of Carr & Love
8 - Trask ($5) - Baker kept his job and Kyle went extinct
2 - Wentz ($6) - Well, you may see the field, but not for any owner in this contest
0 - McCoy ($6) - Extinct from the start
