Dodds Perfect Draft (1 Viewer)

[Macdaddy_2004]

Is there an article by Dodds for 2QB's?

 

[GoBills02]

That would be nice, as my 2 QB draft is Saturday.

 

[veto87]

There's a 2 QB league cheatsheet , not sure about the strategy

 

[thehornet]

anyone have good strategy advice?

Draft 2 good QBs.JK, I have a 2 QB draft on Saturday and would also like to see an article on this.

 

[Josh the FunkDOC]

RB/QB looks like the safest option with first 2 picks, not sure if it's actually the best though. I would still value RBs higher - some nice QBs can fall pretty far (i.e. Losman).

Just a little guess, never played this way before!

 

[brainee]

I did a 2 QB league last year (and will in the same league again which drafts in a couple of weeks). I waited on QBs, thinking I'd go late-round "value-picks". Bad move (ended up with Favre, Simms, and Brooks ... believe it or not, the last 2 were touted by FG as value picks). I think this year you want to target one of the top tier (Manning, Palmer, Brees, Brady, Bulger, McNab). I'd say whichever one represents the best value when your turn rolls around in the first 4 rounds. Then there's a cluster of solid QBs on the next tier: Kitna, Rivers, Romo, Roeth, Young, Hasselbeck. I'd target one of them as well. Then you can make a reach based on bye weeks for QB3 for the guys ranked 20 to 27. Your tier rankings may be different, but that's the general approach I'd take. I think 2 QB leagues are susceptible to runs so watch out for that. If your draft position is near the serpentine turn, you might want to reach a few spots to get a good guy.

I'd still go RB in the 1st, though Manning becomes tempting as the round goes by (especially with the high "bust" potential of so many of the RBs projected to be 1st round picks this year).

Assuming you guys mean start 2 QB leagues and not just 2 QBs mandatory leagues, is mostly about the drop between the first and second QB week to week. More often than not the guy that drafts Peyton has a junky backup that doesn't help with the sum. I would draft 3 QBs maybe even 4 because at some point the other owners realize this and want to trade. More often than not, the trade value is higher than the pick you're about to make so consider hoarding them if roster rules permit.

I would trade up into the 5th round so you have a couple picks there and take 2 QBs then. (5th and 8th for 6th and 7th?) That should allow you to still get Young and Bulger or a handful of others while still getting 2 RBs and 2 WRs.

IMO Old guys like McNair and Favre are the preferable 3rd and 4th stringers here. They fight thru injuries and play while most of the younger QBs just can't physically do what those two do. Offers a degree of reliability that a guy like Leftwich doesn't, for example and if Leftwich is hurt by the time you need him.....well then what was the point in drafting him.

FWIW David Letterman always says how he'd like the NFL to use 2 QBs as a starting lineup to spruce up the game. I have seen these leagues called Letterman leagues

 

[dirtywaters20]

I'd like to see more 2 QB content as well.

 

[Your Mom]

I have said this is in every post I have written in start 2 QB threads. Manning/palmer/bulger/brady/brees/mcnabb won't be around in the 4th round or later. They are lucky to make it to the middle of round 3 in my start 2 QB league. Maybe my league is a lot different, but people take the top Qbs pretty early.

 

[Fins]

I have been in a 2QB league for 6 or 7 years now. The top tier of QB's usually go in the late first to mid second. The next run starts in the third round usually, and every team has at least 1 QB by the end of the 4th round. A couple of teams have tried stud wr draft in past and it always fails. Even if you get 3 stud wr's your rb and qb are so bad you have no chance to compete. Always make sure to get a 3rd qb also. In all of the time doing this league only 1 game has been won by a team starting only 1 qb due to injury or bye weeks. Handcuffung your qbs is even more important than your rb's in this type of league.

 

[WeaponX]

I had a 2QB draft last night. It was only a 8 team re-draft. I still went with the strategy of going RB/RB/WR in the first 3 rounds, but they do go quicker then usual. Here's where the top QB's in my league were selected.

Manning 1.4 (4th)

Palmer 2.8 (16th)

Brady 3.3 (19th)

Brees 3.8 (24th)

McNabb 4.2 (26th)

Bulger 4.4 (28th)

Young 4.8 (32nd)

Hasselbeck 5.1 (33rd)

Cutler 5.3 (35th)

Rivers 5.4 (36th)

Romo 6.4 (44th)

Farve 7.1 (49th)

Kitna 7.5 (53rd)

E. Manning 7.8 (56th)

Big Ben 8.2 (58th)

Leinart 8.3 (59th)

Smith 8.5 (61st)

I was thinking about going QB in the 3rd but at that point only Manning, Palmer, and Brees were off the board, but then the run began and i ended up with Bulger in the 4th and picked up my QB2 Kitna in the 7th. I backed those 2 up with Losman in the 11th rd and Campbell in the 17th.

 

[greenline]

It all depends on your scoring system. My league Manning, Brady, Palmer, Bulger and McNabb can all be argued as 1st round picks.

Unless it's a very new league or an 8 team league, no way are Bulger or Young available in the 5th.In an established 12 team start 2 QB league you can expect 3 QBs to be drafted in the 1st. 3 more should go in the 2nd round, 5 in the 3rd, 7 in the 4th and 5 more in each of the 5th and 6th rounds.

The last starting QB will probably be off the board in the 8th or 9th round.

32 QBs gone in 5 rounds?

 

[BringBackDitka]

had our 2 qb draft this last sunday 12 teams and we traditionally go heavy on the RBs early.

If I had a reshot I would have drafted 2rbs 2qbs with the first 4 picks.

I was getting concerned about the quality of the WRs going so I grabbed Roy Williams instead of Vince Young in the 4th - then got burned because of a run of QBs off the board. Because of this I ended up with Losman in the 6th as my second QB and terrified of quality at QB grabbed cambell in 8th and Harrington (only a couple starters left) in the 13th.

In all, 35 QBs got drafted

rounds:

1 - 2

2 - 3

3 - 3

4 - 5

5 - 6

6 - 3

BEARS

Is my math wrong or yours? 3+3+5+7+5 = 23, right? Expect to see between 21-24 gone after 5 rounds. Between 24-27 after 6, 27-30 after 7, 29-32 after 8 and 31-33 after 9.

I read it as 5th and 6th, 5 each

ETA 23 or 28, you're right I think...oops

still seems high but the perception i'm getting here is some drafts are quite quite different

My league is going into it's 12th season. I have kept draft stats since 2002. I gave you the ranges for those years in my last post.Naturally your mileage may vary.

 

[Scarpati]

I play only in 2 QB leagues, and I've been doing it for 10 years. My wife has been playing in 2 QB leagues for 17 years (I gave in after 7 years and joined her...)

I've found that the wide availability of fantasy footbal info over the internet in recent years has led to the over-valuing of RBs and under-valuing of QBs in 2 QB leagues. A lot of players read cheatsheets designed for 1 QB leagues and apply them to 2 QB leagues. This suggests that you can gain an advantage in many leagues by taking account of this phenomenon.

If more advice were available at sites like FBG for 2 QB leagues, you'd see fewer mistakes.

 

[benbadman]

Not sure how to contact Dodd directly, but the 10 team article has the web page header / title of "Perfect Draft 12 teams" which threw me off for a minute until i read the article.

 

[destro]

I've always played in at least one 2 QB league, 10 or 12 teams, going on 6 years now. Generally, QBs do go much earlier in these than in 1 QB leagues, but not insanely so.

Anyhow, here's how the first 5 rounds in my 12-teamer went this year (1pt per 10 pass, 1pt per 5 rush/rec, no PPR - Start 2 QBs). I think I'm mostly posting this for comedic purposes.

1.07 Peyton

1.12 Palmer

2.2 Brees

2.8 Bulger

2.11 Brady

2.12 McNabb

3.9 Rivers (wtf)

3.12 Kitna

4.3 Hass

4.4 Eli (...)

4.5 Delhomme (WTF)

4.6 Leinart

4.7 Romo (finally)

5.1 Vince (wow, finally)

5.5 Cutler

5.8 Trent Green (WTF AGAIN)

5.10 Big Ben (value)

5.11 Favre

That is a very well presented argument. You might need to update this part though:

Atlanta Falcons - Joey Harrington, D.J. Shockley, Michael Vick

Uh man, I'd hate to be in a 2 QB league this year unless it was like an 8 team league.

Thanks Chaka.Unfortunately due to lack of time and other articles / work to me done, we can't tweak each article after they "go to print" (if there is such a thing on the Internet).

I'm sure everyone can figure that one out though.

Glad you enjoyed the article.

I have been in a 12 team start 2QB league for 12 years now and your article pretty much hit every point head on, I can think of nothing to add.Nice work.
