QB with RB/WR/TE as Flex Option (1 Viewer)

[Chumpson]

Wondering if any of you guys do a league where QB is included in the flex position possibilities. A league I am in is thinking about going to 1 QB, 1 RB, 3 WR, 1K, 1 TE and one flex QB/RB/WR. At first look it makes it look like QBs might be more valuable and RBs less so since you only HAVE to start one, but not sure. This is a big 16 teamer too.

From a scarcity perspective, it would be RB with the least depth, then QB, then WR. The big question is the scoring. Generally, a third-tier QB is going to outscore even a second-tier RB on a weekly basis, and the dropoff is definitely not as severe.

If you're going to do this, I would definitely lower the Qb scoring a little - maybe 35-50 passing yds per pt and 4 pts per TD (which I am a big fan of regardless). The other thing you might consider is accounting for completion % (by + for completions, - for attempts).
