Each day this week, the women here at Playing the Field will be bringing you our best fantasy football advice. We won't do it on a video in skimpy clothes. We won't do it groping each other (at least not that you can see). But you can rest assured that the advice you find here comes from actual female fans who have actually played fantasy ball. A few of us are even champions. Today Amy brings you Quarterbacks.
The standard way of thinking about your fantasy football draft leans towards the school of running backs first, running backs second, and take whichever best QB is left, but I've always felt you're setting yourself up for fantasy failure if you don't have a good QB on your fantasy roster.
Though scoring formats vary from league to league, a QB is still the player with the highest chance of putting up the most TDs over the course of the season. The QB should be one of the steadiest producers on your fantasy roster.
You need to draft a quarterback you feel absolutely comfortable with every week regardless of the matchup. Attempting to play the "who has a better matchup this week" game, trying to determine who will have the better scoring week due to their upcoming opponent is the most sure fire way of insuring a mediocre outcome.
If your dilemma post draft day is "Do I start Clemens or Garcia?" I really don't need to tell you that you're entering a world of pain.
It is imperative to have one of the QBs listed in the top 8 at best and top 10 at worst in order to alleviate any concerns about what to expect from this vital position. Make no bones about it , they WILL require a top draft choice.
You should most definitely use one of your top 3 picks (and in many cases top 2 picks) on a QB who can produce.
QBs you'll relish owning: From Fantasy royalty to a steady hand
1) Tom Brady 2) Peyton Manning 3) Tony Romo 4) Drew Brees 5) Carson Palmer 6) Ben Roethlisberger 7) Derek Anderson 8 ) Matt Hasselbeck 9) Donovan McNabb 10) Brett Favre
QB's you'll have to live with: One week on- one week off- some upsides
11) Jay Cutler 12) Marc Bulger 13) Eli Manning 14) David Garrard 15) Jake Delhomme 16) Matt Schaub 17) Jason Campbell 18 Philip Rivers 19) Aaron Rodgers 20) Jon Kitna
Good luck!
