Pretty weak at QB in a 2 QB league (1 Viewer)

So I was in a draft over the weekend, and they switched the rules on me and I didn't notice. They went to 2 starting QBs. Passing TDs worth 4. 1 point per 25 passing yards. PPR league. It WAS 1 QB. 

Starts 2qb 2rb 2wr 1te 1flex (wr rb te) K DEF

Anyway I went ham and drafted elite RBs and WRs, and got a mediocre to weak QB situation. Here's my roster:

QB: Rivers, Tyrod Taylor

RB: Melvin Gordon, Ezekiel Elliot, Isaiah Crowell, Doug Martin, Theo Riddick

WR: Odell, Demariyus, Tyreek Hill, Amari Cooper, DeVante Parker, Martavis Bryant, Jordan Matthews

TE: Rudolph

D: Ravens

K: Cairo

So my skill position players are insanely good. If this was a 1QB league I'd be the favorite no doubt in my mind. I currently have #1 waver priority and i'm grabbing DeShone Kizer and dropping Jordan Matthews. I could also have Flacco, Alex Smith or Sam Bradford. I just feel like Kizer's athleticism give me a little more upside (rushing TDs and yards) then fragile game manager type qbs. What's everyones opinion on how I should manage my depth? Sell high on one of my bench WRs to try and snag a mid tier QB1? Like a Winston/Newton/Wilson? Or should I stand pat and have gross bench depth? Does anyone think I'll have such a major advantage at all my other slots that I don't need to make a huge move at QB? Let me know what you think!

Your QB's aren't really that bad. Kizer has the same bye week as Rivers so that doesn't do much to help you. Flacco would be the better option because of the bye week. I wouldn't trade away any of your skill players for another middle of the road QB. I'd actually be more concerned about your RB's with Elliott and Martin missing so many early games than trying to trade for a QB.

 
I think picking up Kizer is the way to go. I'd start him over Taylor. Yeah, you'll run into some trouble on the bye but I think there's some upside there. 

 
on second thought...I'm not so sure anymore. I'm just excited about the browns (said no one ever) I'm also very bias since I have Crowell in 1 of my leagues and I want the browns offense to do well. As far as I understand Kizer also struggled week 3 of preseason so that's maybe a sign of bad things to come.

The Bills seem to lack weapons (they maybe purposely tanking this year) so I'm not high on Taylor's outlook. He also may not play week 1 anyways. 

I asked an earlier question about what QB I should stream week 1. Maybe you should also stream Bradford.
