Picking 10th in 10 team league with 2 QBs (1 Viewer)

[Lone Ranger]

I am debating to go with a RB/QB in this situation as the scoring is for 6 pts for all TDs in a ten teamer non PPR league. Normally I would stay with the RB/RB and pickup either LJ, Edge, R. Johnson, SJackson or others ranked in the top 10 or so.

My thought here is to grab one of the top 10 RBs and if Manning is still there grab him immediately. If Manning is gone I might go with RB/RB as I feel Palmer, Brady and perhaps Hasselbeck and Bulger could still be there on the 3/4 swing. Whatever happens is if I go RB/RB in 1/2 I must get at least a QB on the 3/4 swing.

In this starting 2 QBs league where all TDs are 6 points I think this is the way to go.

Thoughts and strategy if you were in my position??

Scoring system -

2 QBs

2 RBs

2 WRs

1 TE

1 Def

1 K

Basic performance scoring with 6 Pts for all TDs with bonus for longer ones over 40+ yards for all positions. No penalties for any types of turnovers. Standard performance scoring with no PPR.

redraft ?

have you drafted this kind of league before ?

I just drafted one very similar to this on Saturday

Yes it is a redraft. This is the 1st year we are going with 2 QBs as a requirement. Last year we had TE as the flex position. We change our rules once in a while to spice things up. So what was your strategy?

 

[Sea Bass]

You just descibed the setup to one of my leagues. Most teams usually go rb/qb or qb/rb. After four rounds at least seven teams will have 2 qb's and 2 rb's. A few teams try to beat the rush on wide receivers. I prefer rb's first, because I see a huge drop off after the top ten. The drop off at qb isn't as steep. I would probably go rb/qb unless I could get two top 7-8 rb's.

I would think with this scoring format WRs might last a little longer due to the fact that QBs are much needed therefore we might see some top tier WRs lasting into the 3rd round. After Manning, I think there is a good drop to the next tier of QBs. The thing with drafting at the end is that you are going to have to reach for some players as you know the player you want won't be there 20 picks later.

 

[valhallan]

QBs will dominate your league, trust me. I'd consider going for Palmer and CJ since you get a distance bonus.

 

[T Man]

If QBs get 6 points and it is a start 2QB league, selecting a top QB would be a solid move.

You should expect Manning to be off the board and probably 8 RBs. I assume you get 10 and 11 in a serpentine draft. So I would grab the top RB and top QB, regardless of Order.

I would then select RB or QB in round three.

In round four, depending on what is left, you could go WR or finish off your starting rquirements at RB or QB.

Valhallan - While it may sound tempting with the distance bonus I think drafting this way will put you at a disadvantage with having to rely on the 3/4 swing to pickup 2nd Tier RBs. Wouldn't you want to have at least a RB1 after the first two rounds? Nevertheless, I'm open to all options and want to get people's take on a strategy best suited for this scoring format.

I joined a dynasty league like this this year. Our initial draft is in a few weeks. I've never been in a league that required 2 starting QB's. I've always been the guy who waits until the 6-7 round to get a QB and I've always done well. I find it tough to believe that QB's are going to be so important that you have to draft them in the top 3-4 rounds.

Is this statement based on actual experience or is it your opinion?

T Man - Yes, I do get the 10th and 11th pick. Your strategy is certainly one that I was looking into and falls along the line my thoughts. If Manning is gone by the time my picks come would you still be comfortable with Palmer or Brady going that high? Palmer is coming back from major surgery and Brady has some question marks as well.

How many qb's do you draft? In the past we have had five per team, which meant you were in a vulnerable position if you only had three strarters. Injuries and bye weeks happen! We are going to three qb's this year so that two starters will always be available on the ww. This prevents people from stockpiling them and holding others ransom with trade offers. Having a credible 2nd AND 3rd qb is essential. With teams only starting two wr's you can find quality later in the draft and on the ww.

If your league knows what they are doing P. Manning will be selected anywhere from the first to the fouth pick.

Unless the yardage is really screwy, I guarantee you most of the top 10 scorers at the end of the year will be QBs.Your strategy probably has to depend on what happens in the first round (RB heavy?) and what you think will happen before your next picks (will there be a QB or WR run?).

I think you should definitely have two QBs in your first four picks, and maybe consider taking one again on the 5/6 turn.

Actual experience.. lots of it. In my 2 QB leagues I almost always draft a QB in the first 4 rounds, and have both by round 7. You must have consistent, productive play from your QBs or the teams that do will eat you alive.What is your scoring system? Lone Rangers has 6 pts for all TDs (not 4 for passing like many 2QB leagues) and no PPR. And unless their yardage scoring is something crazy, your typical top 10 QB with 25+ TDs will mop up your typical top 10 RB who only gets 12.

All TD's are worth 6 (pass incl.), 1ppr, -2/int.Would this change your strategy and the valus on QB's?

 

[Cowboys#1]

if manning is there @ 10 grab him and dont even think twice about it.

if hes gone and you really like palmer its not too early for him

im in a 2qb keeper league and stud qb's are untradable and very valuable

id go QB/RB QB/RB WR/WR for the first 6 rounds

I have to agree with the fact that the typical top 10 QB with 25+ TDs will easily out score the top 10 RB who only gets about 12 TDs with the scoring system that my league will be using this year. What this means to me is that a premium is put on the QB position then RB and then WR in that order. From the on-going discussions a top team will definitely need to get two top 10 QBs to distance itself from the crowd.

PPR changes it a bit, but the 6 pts for passing TDs still makes having two capable starters extremely valuable. How big is your league? With 12 owners, the quality QBs will be gone fast. With 10, you can possibly hold out for an extra round, but pay very close attention to who has and hasn't already drafted QBs. There are only 32 starters on draft day and 10 of them suck.Honestly, I've always gone for Brooks, Plummer, Brady, Delhomme, and other guys that aren't quite top flight, but always produce and don't get injured. If you have your QB situation wrapped up, there's nothing better than watching those who don't scramble on Sunday to pick up and start Craig Krenzel.

I'd like to be able to spend more time on this but all I could afford to do today was to run the details through the Draft Dominator to shee what it yields.

Manning is ranked 9th overall with Brady at 26, Hasstleback at 31 and Palmer at 32.

The top 2 rounds has only 1 non RB, Manning. round 3 has 1

round 4 has 4

round 5 has 6

Odd I'm running VBD and I'm showing Manning going 5th, Brady 7th, McNabb 11th then Hasselbeck, Bledsoe in that order for top 5. Palmer doesn't go until #38. Are you plugging in 2 QBs as starters?

 

[Sea Bass]

In our league last year the top four point producers were rb's, the next six were qb's, then Steve Smith. The next eight picks included seven qb's and one rb.

If my math is correct 13 of the first 19 were qb's. My goal is to get a stud rb and two good qb's.

Those numbers are probably right. I'm just telling him from experience that it's absolutely imperative to get at least 2 QBs (preferably 3) whom you know will play and produce every week without fail.

 

[BL Titans]

I believe my draft went this way ( 10 teams, redraft, starting 2 QB's much the same scoring you have)

1.1 Peyton Manning

1.2 Tom Brady

1.3 LT2

1.4 Larry Johnson

1.5 Alexander

1.6 Portis

1.7 McGahee

1.8 Ronnie Brown

1.9 Rudi Johnson

1.10 Cadillac

I picked

1st round Rudi Johnson

2nd round Stephen Jackson

3rd round Terrell Owens

4th round Kevin Jones

by the 5th round there were few QB's left, top WR's gone too. So I chose

5th round Drew Bledoe

6th round Bret Favre

7th round Cedric Bencon

At this point I had RB's and 2 QB's but needed another QB

8th round Billy Volek it was down to him, Grossman, Alex Smith ....

9th round Driver

10th round Galloway

11th round Barlow

I finished my draft up with Rackers at kicker, Seattle Defense, Kellen Winslow, Vernon Davis

16 round and all QB's went except for Grossman and BUF QB's

Interesting how the two QBs went first and then the RBs following suit in your draft. how far did Palmer fall to? With most QBs gone by the fifth round it seems like the it is a must to get at least 1 or 2 QB by the fifth round to be competitive if not then you might be looking at the likes of Buf QB's, Grossman, etc...

 

[broncofan13000]

Grabbing Manning at the turn is a no brainer....if he's not there it means that a RB has fallen, and take the best two avail....(ie Ronnie, Caddy, Rudi) you should be able to get a good combo. Then with you 3 & 4 take the best available QB....Chances are Brady and Palmer will be gone, but you can probably still get a Delhomme who can put up similar stats to the other two. I wouldn't pick a QB at the 10 & 11 spots unless its Peyton (If Carson was healthy he would be added)

Wow. I've been playing in a 2QB'er for the last 4 years and thats shocking to have both Brady and Manning going 1 and 2. Especially since Bledsoe is going in the 5th.

Yeah I've seen two QBs go in the first round, but never at #1 and #2. But his draft does demonstrate how slim the pickings get on QBs after the 5th round.

 

[T Man]

If QBs get 6 points and it is a start 2QB league, selecting a top QB would be a solid move. 

You should expect Manning to be off the board and probably 8 RBs.  I assume you get 10 and 11 in a serpentine draft.  So I would grab the top RB and top QB, regardless of Order.

I would then select RB or QB in round three.

In round four, depending on what is left, you could go WR or finish off your starting rquirements at RB or QB.

T Man - Yes, I do get the 10th and 11th pick. Your strategy is certainly one that I was looking into and falls along the line my thoughts. If Manning is gone by the time my picks come would you still be comfortable with Palmer or Brady going that high? Palmer is coming back from major surgery and Brady has some question marks as well.

In your league QBs get 6 points per TD. So the move for a QB is sound. You get picks, 10, 11, 30, 31, 40, 41. If you go RB, RB, QB, QB, you will likely be looking at QBs in the 10-15 range at 30 and 31 as I suspect that in a 2QB league with such points for QBs that at least the top 10 QBs will be gone. But if its a new league, then RBs will go faster. My preference is to get a top QB and a good RB in this type of league. If you believe your league will mostly go for RB, RB then you are forced to go RB out of necessity. Otherwise RB, QB is a good bet.

But I have been successful with a QBBC approach. There was an article about it last year. You have to consider it in light of your league as I think it is based on a 1QB 4 point passing TD league. In this scenario you could go RB, RB, QB, WR or QB, and then QB or WR. The idea is that you could piece together starting QBs from 3 top 20 QBs based upon matchups. But with 6 points per TD, this is a dicier proposition.

If two RBs fall that are good starters, then go RB, RB. If not, pick a QB. Of the two QBs, I would go Palmer over Brady - although Brady is more consistent generally because of the upside.

 

[JimmyD]

I am debating to go with a RB/QB in this situation as the scoring is for 6 pts for all TDs in a ten teamer non PPR league. Normally I would stay with the RB/RB and pickup either LJ, Edge, R. Johnson, SJackson or others ranked in the top 10 or so.

My thought here is to grab one of the top 10 RBs and if Manning is still there grab him immediately. If Manning is gone I might go with RB/RB as I feel Palmer, Brady and perhaps Hasselbeck and Bulger could still be there on the 3/4 swing. Whatever happens is if I go RB/RB in 1/2 I must get at least a QB on the 3/4 swing.

In this starting 2 QBs league where all TDs are 6 points I think this is the way to go.

Thoughts and strategy if you were in my position??

Scoring system -

2 QBs

2 RBs

2 WRs

1 TE

1 Def

1 K

Basic performance scoring with 6 Pts for all TDs with bonus for longer ones over 40+ yards for all positions. No penalties for any types of turnovers. Standard performance scoring with no PPR.

I'd look at going something like this.RD1/RD2

1. Manning/Brady

Taking these two monsters should produce a lot of TD's for you and if you have two elite QB starting every week, that will help any up and downs your RB will have since you'd have at best 2 top 25RB.

2. Brady/Palmer (assumes Manning gone)

Same thought as above.

3. Brady or Palmer/ hightest ranked RB

I think you need to get a QB and a good one even if you can only get one then take the best RB left, as always

4. highest ranked RB's

If those 3 QBs are gone that means there are some very good RB instead, take two and not worry about RB until rd 5/6.

RD3/RD4

1. QB/QB - then go RB/WR, probably a top 15RB and maybe a top 8 WR is left.

2. QB/RB - go QB probably like Bulger/Brooks/Plummer and a top 15RB

3. RB/RB - go QB/QB

After that mix and match RB/WR for a few rounds. Hopefully by round 10 you have 2QB, 4/5RB, 3/2WR and 1 TE.

I'm not too worried about WR as you only have to start 2 and with only 10 teams you should be able to string together quality starters.

 

[MLBrandow]

Guys I would target:

Manning

Palmer

Bulger

I'd shoot for both Manning/Palmer with that scoring system and not look back.

That could force others to rush on qb's and leave some decent rb's for the 3/4 swing

Very good point.

 

[sinatravolta]

Agree with all others - if Manning is available - you have to take him (but I seriously doubt he will be - so don't plan your draft around this possibility).

If in your VBD - Brady is one of the top 2 guys available - take him along with an RB.

Otherwise - I'd stick with RBs.

Yes - QBs will score the most - especially with no INT penalties - but even crappy QBs will score decently - so while they have generally become more valuable, don't forget that the RB drop-off will still probably be higher for the most part.

There's no WR I'd be so confident in this year that I'd take him w/ the #10 or #11 pick - especially given that Brady and some other QBs move up in this system.

I wouldn't take McNabb - seems too early for a guy with no good WRs. If you draft closer to the season starting and Palmer is looking good - then he definitely becomes viable this early.

 

[ookook]

I think all of the value at QB in this type of league is in WAITING to take QB.

Look at the difference between QB10 and QB20 projections: They are minimal. What is the difference between QB2 and QB10: not so much.

Now look at RB and it is a very different story. WR too.

It does not matter much QBs are top scorers...what matters is the drop-off and the reality that there are lots who do well.

I run a 2 QB league and wiat until rounds 7 to 9.

Consider if you can end up with:

Plummer

Brooks

Brunnel

Carr

I do not know if round 7 to 9 will owrk in your league, but what matters is to wait until QB15 or so is gone and then grab as many more as you can. Meanwhile, prior to that fill up RBs and WRs as long as you can.

 

[ookook]

Yes - QBs will score the most - especially with no INT penalties - but even crappy QBs will score decently - so while they have generally become more valuable, don't forget that the RB drop-off will still probably be higher for the most part.

 

[ookook]

Picking 10th I would grab two of Jordon, Jackson, R. Johnson, Edge if there were any way possible.

I would then look at the best 2 WRs available in 3rd and 4th unless they all look similar (but I am guessing from what you say you might even get Harrison and Boldin). If I was nonplussed I would go grab 3rd RB.

 

[PugMac]

I did not read through all the post, but here is my 2 cents.

WR should not even be consider with one of your two picks. I would only not take two RBs with your two picks if Manning is still there.

If Manning is taken then grab the two best RBs, then on pick 3-4 grab the two best QBs or QB, WR and maybe even a 3rd RB if good value there.

You will have no RBs to pick from at your 3-4 spot and even though QB is very important in your 2 QB starter, the QB spot is very deep this year and you will be fine with whoever is there for you at pick 29 and 30 for you...no doubt.

 

[Power Monster]

1. Manning/Brady

Taking these two monsters should produce a lot of TD's for you and if you have two elite QB starting every week, that will help any up and downs your RB will have since you'd have at best 2 top 25RB.

I like this thread as I am in this type of league but be careful here as they both have the same bye week...

It does not matter much QBs are top scorers...what matters is the drop-off and the reality that there are lots who do well.

I run a 2 QB league and wiat until rounds 7 to 9.

Consider if you can end up with:

Plummer

Brooks

Brunnel

Carr

I do not know if round 7 to 9 will owrk in your league, but what matters is to wait until QB15 or so is gone and then grab as many more as you can. Meanwhile, prior to that fill up RBs and WRs as long as you can.

What you say makes some sense on where the drop off on RBs are. After Manning and maybe Brady and perhaps Palmer (if he is healthy) are off the board the next 5-6 QBs are very close in their respecting ranking in projected PPG. You just have to balance it out where you are going to maximize your RB and still take one of these QBs that are in this bunch if you don't get Manning on the 1/2 turn. You just can't wait too long to get QBs as all the decent ones will be gone by then in my opinion. I just can't picture myself starting the likes of Brunnel and Carr.

Last year I got Bledsoe and E. Manning in my 2 QB league and they did quite well. There ARE good starting QBs to be had later...just do the research and get a lot of them.

This is very true, but you HAVE to get them. If you're sitting at the 5/6 turn still in need of some QBs and you're not sure who will be left at 7/8, go QB and thank yourself later.

Alright I had another chance to crunch numbers and heres what I've discovered.

After Manning, Brady and Palmer and Hasstleback are gone the highest drop off from one guy to the guy ranked behind him is -7. The total drop off from QB5 - QB20 is only 73. QB1 - QB20 is 137.

At RB the biggest drop off happens after RB3. RB3 - RB4 is -43. From RB4 - RB20 there are drops as as high as -20. The total drop from RB4 - RB20 is 105. RB1 - RB20 is -188.

*** this is based on FBG projections From July 9. 6pts/ td, ppr.***

If you drop the PPR your drop off at RB is about the same. It just interchanges some of the actual players.

Considering these numbers I think I'd go with a draft strategy of RB, RB, WR, QB/RB/WR, QB/RB/WR...
