My early Fantasy football life was dominated by the axiom that RBs were the alpha and Omega of FF success.
Then, over the past several years, with the advent of more sophisticated fantasy leagues and a real-life trend of RBBC in the NFL, WRs and sometimes even the occasional TE in the right scenario has balanced that out or even made the occasional argument that the RB was bumpde from his perch a bit.
And now, with another Real-life movement of various rules and offensive and defensive philosophies, it seems that fantasy football may actually be on the same page as real-life consensus in that a dominant QB wins championships.
By a wide margin, more than any time in my years of playing FF, this year's playoff contenders were dominated by the big QBs. It really didn't seem to matter if teams have depth or balance or other things that made them have a great lineup, the teams with the elite QBsall seemed to push into the championship games in the leagues I know (and several on the boards here have mentioned the Brees, Bradys, Newtons, Rodgers, etc dominating their playoffs too).
So, with the trend and rules seemingly firmly in place in this new pass-happy "don't touch 'em" NFL, is there more importance for the forseeable future to focus on top QBs in leagues?
