Week 2: Streaming QBs (1 Viewer)

Not a typo.

I cannot imagine this being a popular strategy, even in 4 pt TD leagues like ours. Consider other positions we stream:

K - generally 12-14 are rostered in a 12 team league, meaning 18-20 are available. Most of us don’t stream; if they can follow the hypocritic oath (“above all else do no harm”) & don’t have a bye, set it & forget it.

DT/DST - very similar to above, except in this instance we perceive we can play matchups & pick the defense going up against an inexperienced or turnover prone QB. Although it works well in certain years, overall the results seem mixed IME.

TE - this one seems a little trickier. Generally there are 16-18 rostered and the dropoff from the top 4/5/6 is usually pretty significant. Last year I streamed for 8 or 9 weeks after multiple injuries & I think I picked “the wrong TE” around 7 or 8 times.

RB/WR - nobody does this, right?

QB - I drafted Wentz so my Plan B is using pickup fill-ins. I bailed on my first choice for Week 1, Nick Foles, in less than 48 hours. Good move but Andy Dalton proved to be barely adequate (QB18); still, my opponent drafted Stafford so NBD so far.

Our league drafted 22 and currently has 22 rostered & 1 on IR (suspended players do not qualify for an IR slot.) My Week 2 choice is Case Keenum, with Dalton back in the discard pile. Other options include Bortles (NE), Fitzmagic (PHI), Foles (@TB), Dak (NYG), Tyrod (@NO), & the hot garbage trifecta of Bradford (@LAR), Darnold (MIA), & Tannehill (@NYJ.) How did I forget Allen/Peterman (LAC)? Maybe not used to seeing QB projections that low.

This can’t be a good idea.

Anyone else stuck in this kind of situation? Prescott is a new consideration now, he was dropped last night. Will have to weigh Keenum’s upsiide v. the Cowboys QB’s floor.

Similar boat for me.  Drafted Wentz and followed up with Stafford because he was supposed to have an easy schedule early in the year (fortunately I still won this week).  I'm probably going to stick with Stafford one more week.  Actually, I just checked and Rivers was dropped for Tyrod.... lol... wtf... I'm picking him up for sure but don't want to cut Stafford... I don't think I have ever had 3 QBs on my team before :lol:  

 
I’m doing it in my main league this year and most likely one of my other leagues where I have Stafford. 

So far I drafted Big Ben very late, dropped him for Dalton week 1 then got Ben back today after waivers had run, dropping Dalton in the process, for the home tilt against the Chiefs 

If I have to carry two at some point then I will but right now I’d rather keep more RBs/WRs on my bench whilst things shake out a little.

12 man drafted Mariota over Luck (what was I thinking?!?!?). Dropped him for Alex Smith. Other options are Keenum, Tyrod, Goff.

My situation was further complicated by Wentz being listed as Doubtful instead of Out. Meaning I had to move him from IR to the Active roster before I could submit waivers. There’s almost no chance he plays Week 2.

After FABB waivers ran the league cheapskates picked up Buck Allen, Ebron, Ginn Jr., & ASJ for free. NBD but I hate the IR format forcing me to waste a spot on Wentz rn.

 
Great. JUST NOW Alshon Jeffrey was changed from Out to Doubtful. Same deal, he’s doing individual drills, virtually no chance he suits up Sunday. But I cannot make another move unless/until both he & Wentz are declared out.

Unless I wanna cut a player. Allison, Cohen, Hyde, Kerryon or Dede? Not happening.

??‍♂️

Same boat for me too!  I cut my kicker to move Wentz to the active roster... I'll pick one up later in the week once Wentz is declared OUT - then I can move him back to IR spot..

I’m forced to go QBBC in one league.

ive got the craptacular combo of Marty Ice Cold in the RZ & Tyrod Taylor.

rolling with Taylor vs the Saints - should be a good spot for him.
