disclaimer: i am a plug-n-play QB advocate, never like to keep alot of QBs rostered, just like that one top 7 guy
I have always wondered the risk involved in larger leagues (14 or 16 or even 12-teamers with large rosters) in using just one roster spot for QBs and grabbing one for a bye week or heaven forbid an injury
With your help in posting and noticing errors, maybe we can do a case study for 2008 and list the starters and see if the strategy is viable without relying on trading for one since other owners may hold you hostage if they know your style
Also, I seem to remember seeing stats on number of QBs who started games in the past years but couldn't find it via search, so if someone knows how to get ahold of this (profootballreference maybe?) it would help
perhaps, we can also discuss this strategy and who your pickups were that allowed you to "get away" with this
edit: please post your thoughts from both a redraft AND a keeper/dyno perspective - i left out that important separation of strategy for the discussion - this is most definitely risky in redraft since injury protection is much more important there
Week One
AFC-East - Brady, Favre, Edwards, Pennington
AFC-West - Rivers, Russell, Cutler, Croyle
