So I was working on my QB rankings and I was analyzing the SOS. In case you haven't looked at McNabb SOS go ahead and take a glance. It is easily the easiest schedule for QBs.
I have owned McNabb before, and the value of picking him in the fifth/sixth round to put up Manning type numbers is simply huge. Granted he is an injury risk, but IMO if you can find the ideal complimentary QB in later rounds it is worth the risk.
Ideally the complimentary player should excel during fantasy playoffs and the time leading up to that (based on McNabbs previous history of when his injuries occur. Looking at Gray's QB SOS the following teams have the best SOS during that time (last 5):
ATL
BUF
CAR
CHI
DAL
PHI
STL
TB
Obviously we eliminate PHI, DAL, and STL because the QB's ADP is too high and I'm looking for somebody I can snag late in drafts. That leaves ATL, BUF, CAR, CHI, and TB.
Personally I don't feel comfortable leaving my fantasy team in the hands of Harrington, Garcia, or Losman.
IMO if you want to gamble and take McNabb, you should look to target Delhomme or Grossman later in drafts to provide insurance should McNabb not make it through. Should he do so...well congratulations you got a QB putting up manning type numbers in the sixth round.
You might also consider the strategy of picking up Feeley very late in the draft. While he probably won't Garcia numbers, with their SOS and the pass happy offense he could still be a competent safety valve.
Am I insane?
