So i just ran some basic numbers from the 08,09,10,11 seasons regarding how the average points for the season for the top 5 QB's compare to the average points for the next 7 QB's. Its a 12 team league so if you weren't starting one of the top 12 qb's, i'm not sure what to tell you.
Its a ppr league where qb td passes are worth 4 points. Everything else is pretty basic.
2011
Top 5 401.9
Bottom 7 261.51
Difference 140.4
2010
Top 5 300.4
Bot. 7 247.2
Diff. 53.2
2009
Top 5 303.5
Bottom 7 250.07
Diff. 53.43
2008
Top 5 290.4
Bottom 7 216.72
Diff. 73.68
So what does that mean? The avg difference the past 4 years between the top 5 qb's and the bottom 7 is 80.17 points for the year or around 5 per game. I think thats a fairly significant number. However, to really compare you'd have to run those numerbs vs the opportunity cost of missing out on taking a rb or wr and what their averages are. Which i'm not doing.
