Do You Like 2 Quarterback Leagues (1 Viewer)

[Mossome]

I have a league that allows just that.

To Prospective Fantasy Football Owners,

Several Day ago I advertised for a fantasy football league that I have been in for 16 years and was commissioner for the last 2. I filled the league and more. Because of the high number of responses from interested owners I decided to start another league to allow the overflow of owners into a league. I am looking for 4 owners to join my league this season. I am a very dedicated commissioner that will ensure a fun and fair league.

Some League Details Below

League Entry Fee: $81.00, $6.00 for web site, $75.00 towards league pay outs

League Website: myfantasyleague.com (considered the best fantasy football league host site by many experienced owners)

Draft Date: Saturday August 28th, Time TBD

Here are all the league Rules from the fantasy football website

If you want to join my league or have any questions please e-mail me at etcwach@sio.midco.net. I will need payment to secure your spot in the league.

Just a few notes that I want to highlight from the league rules.

This league is a 10 team head to head but uses victory points (similar to the NHL) as the first standings criteria. You earn one point for winning your head to head matchup and another point for finishing in the top half of the league for the week. You can earn 0, 1 or 2 points for the week. This is a popular method to incorporate the importance of winning your head to head match up but also rewards a good week if you end up losing your head to head match up.

The scoring is performance related and rewards for big TD plays and for big games. This league also gives you roster flexibility. Each week you have 10 starting slots but have the option to start 2 Quarterbacks and if you are thin for the week you can even start 2 kickers or 2 defenses if you must.

I've seen 4 and 5 WR sets, 3 back sets, 2 and 3 TE formations, never seen a 2 QB formation in the NFL, just psychologically I cannot get into it as much. Best ball has this element but otherwise I am not as into getting points from 2 QB spots.

 

[Stealthycat]

I play in one and its a heck of a lot of fun.

Ministry of Pain - you do know many leagues only score 4 points for a QB, which isn't NFL real either? hey, some people can adjust to different league rules & play, some can't

If I wasn't FF maxed I'd play with ya'll

I've also never seen a QB throw a TD pass that's worth 4 points.Unless you're in a large league, one QB leagues are pointless to me. Nothing wrong with adding more strategy and increasing the difficulty.

I don't compete in a single league that awards 4 pts per pass TD, not even US where I made sure it was 6 pts in the league I am signed up for. Like I said I just psychologically don't gravitate towards 2 QB leagues, if others love them that's cool. This thread wasn't really about what we thought of 2 QB leagues was it? If people like to compete in them then good for them I don't have anything against folks having a good time

It should be the norm. These 1-2-3 leagues are 98% luck. Start 2-3-4 for a league that requires more skill than luck to win.

If you want to start more than 1 QB I prefer the superflex, simply because it means you aren't totally forced into going the one direction. Sure QB value is still ridiculous but you can still try to build around a great RB or WR corp.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

I like 2 QB leagues if they are 10 teams or lower. I really think having 12 team leagues or higher and starting 2 QB's puts too much of an emphasis on one position. On a year that QB really takes a hit, with injuries and byes you could actually be struggling to start a QB in certain situations. In leagues where there's 10, you usually at least have an option to start a QB from off the waiver wire no matter what.

Yeah, I've been running a 10 team keeper league for years, and it's perfect for that set up. Even by only bumping up to a 12 team league I can imagine there being problems with it. Just from a pure numbers standpoint though, everyone in a 10 teamer has the chance to have two quality QBs starting and a starting bench QB. And there's still some flexibility to take a flier on a rookie/backup/whoever as well. To me, it really enhances the strategy element of it and I know everyone in my league loves it as well as most of us are pretty devout NFL followers hehe.

This.

No.

 

[theplayer11]

why are so many responding to the question in the title when the purpose of the post was to get owners into his league...and who knows if it's even legit

 

[Rebirtha]

In before the move.....

 

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

I am not really a fan of any league that makes Derek Anderson, Seneca Wallace, and Trent Edwards valuable assets.

I may try out a 2QB league in the future, but that would depend on the league.

 

[Ray_T]

Only if its a weak 10 teamer.If its 12 teamer... then there are only 8 reserves for 12 teams... no thanks.But then again I much prefer 16 teamers, where QBs production variance has a much bigger impact.

This just means you have to do your homework on QB's and you have to pick your second & third QB earlier if you really want to be strong at the positioin.In my experience, all this does is make it more challenging. So if a challenge is what you want, this is the league for you.

I play in a 10 man 2QB league. its pretty fun. until you have to start Garrard every week

Two QB leagues add another level of strategy and deeper leagues in general require more skill. Look at the extremes of if every team just started 1qb, 1rb, 1wr, 1te, 1k, 1d. This league would come down to whose studs got lucky that week. A 2-3-4 format rewards fantasy players who are able to find value in the later rounds. The deeper the league, the more skill required as contribution is needed for more players.



Since this going to be moved to looking for leagues anyway, shameless plug for my 2 qb deep league:

2 qbs is far more fun than 1. makes a lot more games relevant and exciting.

 

[Mossome]

I do need league members but I don't see why having 2 runningbacks starting is such a given but starting two quarterbacks are not. You will almost never see two feature runningbacks in the game at the same time. Same things goes for quarterbacks other than the wildcat. If fantasy football was like real football there would be offensive lineman starting on fantasy teams. Holding penalties and sacks against would be minus points. Maybe pancake blocks can be positive points. Either way fantasy football will never be reality since there is no defense against your opponent on a weekly basis other than a little bit of prayer.

I think people have this tendency to want runningbacks to hold the most value. In reality quarterbacks are by far the most valuable position on the football field. With todays day and age wide receivers are just as valuable if not moreso than many runningbacks. It's a passing league and the day of the elite runningback carrying a team is a thing of the past, at least during this era.

I am in one dynasty that allows a QB for flex. It's a nice change, but I wouldn't want all my leagues to be that way.

 

[Mossome]

Without a doubt I like the 2 QB League. My league also uses victory points which is supported by mfl.com. 1 point for head to head win available as well as an additional point for finishing in the top half of the league for the week.

My thoughts as well and I will add that there should be one leader and in football that is the qb. To have more than one is just downright unAmerican!!!!

That's kind of ironic since the name of the League is "North American Fantasy Football". Either way the more flexible the roster requirements the better the league in my opinion. The more things that can be done to add more strategy and enhancing the chances of the best teams winning the better. To Prospective Fantasy Football Owners,Why should you be in this league1. Very flexible roster requirements that allow the option to start 2 quarterbacks.2. Uses reverse serpentine draft so teams that draft at the end of the first round get to draft at the beginning of both the 2nd and 3rd rounds. 3. Uses victory points where the standings are based on getting 1 point for winning weekly head to head match up and another point for finishing top half of the league for the week.4. Uses a scoring system that values the players similar to their value in the NFL. Quarterbacks score the most, slightly followed by running backs, slightly followed by wide receivers. Bonuses for big td plays and big yardage games.5. Owners have the option to choose their draft position and division alignment6. Uses what many dedicated fantasy football owners consider the best host site on the internet in myfantasyleague.com. It has tons of custom options and a very nice look to it. Includes live scoring announced out loud over your speakers.7. A commissioner that is very dedicated to putting together a fun and fair league that is readily available to answer any questions that may come up. One that is going to get things done allowing the league to run as smoothly as possible.

I much prefer 2QB - or better yet, super-flex - even in larger leagues. The position stress of not having 24 or 28 great QBs is kind of the point. Just as RBs drop off fairly quickly from the few true stud starters, in a QB flex they do the same. This makes you consider the value of moderate QBs compared to the value of moderate RBs or WR - and gives you a whole third realm of players to incorporate fully in trade options. I think 2, 3, 4 is the best game for 10, 12 or 14 team leagues - because you don't need to add the artificial scoring of PPR to get comperable player values for each position.

The amazing thing to me is that the vast majority of FF players are to narrow to even try it. Too set in their ways to give it a chance. If everyone played super-flex 2, 3, 4 for a season or two, I am convinced it would become the standard FF league. I am equally convinced that this will never happen because most people think they know everything without having to try anything, and have already decided they won't like it.

Yes

 

[King of the Wolfies]

there arent enough qbs to even cover bye weeks once you get past 10 teams. until more teams run qbbc, then i cant see ever being interested in 2 qb leagues.

I almost managed to have Brady and garrard the whole year and win the title in my 2QB league. Garard gets it done when you need him.

 

[Insein]

2QB leagues are more fun IMO. The stipulation is that it has to be 10 teams or less. Can't do more than 10. It just doesnt work mathematically. But the strategy of the draft makes the most important position in football important again. The season takes on more importance for waiver wire pickups etc. Just alot mroe strategy involved then a normal 10 team, let the computer decide your pick draft.
