Think of it like this: who are the QBs I would be picking up in free agency of my single QB league? These QBs pair up with my third QB, who, for me, is a young up and comer.įor 2020, QBs like Drew Lock, Dwayne Haskins, or Justin Herbert. For 2020, that list includes QBs like Matthew Stafford, Ryan Tannehill, and Kirk Cousins. With my second QB selection, I typically aim for a high-end QB2 type, or someone I could reliably start every week. I typically draft a QB in either the first or second round of these startups to ensure one of my “big 6” (Mahomes, Jackson, Murray, Watson, Dak Prescott, Russell Wilson). Overall, I want to get a piece for my roster that I can set and forget for the next 10 seasons. If your league does not value QB, you may be able to wait. So when should you draft a QB? It is my personal opinion that each SF draft is unique. Every owner should be starting a QB in their SF slot (QBs score the highest PPG of any player you’d play in your SF), and in a 12 team league, that means every team should have at least two starting QBs, and eight teams should have a third starting QB. You will see the likes of Mahomes and Lamar Jackson taken in the first round.ĭo not be surprised if Kyler Murray and Deshaun Watson go at the end of the first round or beginning of the second round. If you have never played in a SF league before, this may be a shock to your system. The most significant initial change with the SF format is that QB becomes king. How Should I Construct my Supeflex Tight End Team? Much like the difference between the QB7 and QB14, this premium made the TE position a more viable starter in flex spots for owners. In half-point TE premium Olsen scored 149.7 points, or only 1.2 PPG less than Darius Slayton. Darius Slayton last year applying the 1.5 points per reception for Olsen, we can see that the PPG gap is closed. The most common premium I have seen is a half-point. For example, in a TE premium league, Greg Olsen would receive an additional point or half-point per reception. The “premium” comes from the additional points given to the TE position when making a reception. To balance this scoring out, the TE premium was created. “I have to start 1, but why draft anymore?” The scales need to be balanced to highlight the incredible game-changing abilities of players like Travis Kelce, George Kittle, and Mark Andrews. This point differential led to a similar theory as drafting QBs late. Across the season, that’s nearly 3 PPG more for the WR37 than the TE13. The WR37 in 2019 was Darius Slayton scoring 170.0 points (PPR scoring). The TE13 in 2019 was Greg Olsen scoring 123.8 points. Sure, your flex spots can include a TE, but why would an owner start a TE in their flex spot? If you assume that each team in a 12 team league gets a top 12 TE (or starts in their designated TE slot), it would be bad practice to start a TE in your flex.įor example, the 2019 TE13 (first non-starter) compared to the WR37 (first non-starter WR assuming you have to start two) heavily favored starting the WR on a PPG basis. TE is usually a position that is a “start one” in fantasy football. But Why Does The Tight End Position Receive a Premium? If the QB14 (a non QB1) is only scoring 1.5 PPG less than the QB7 (solid QB1), why would I burn an early-round pick on a QB? QBs are flashy they are the stars of the game! Fans want to cheer them on, but taking a QB early in a single QB league is a bad practice, and would often result in a poor roster. They punted QB later and later, as it was typically a position that only required one starter per team.
That’s not much decrease in production.įantasy owners started drafting QBs later and later, gobbling up the value at skill positions like RB and WR to find advantages earlier in drafts. An overall point differential of 24.2 points, or 1.5 PPG. The QB7 was Kyler Murray scoring 344.5 points, and the QB14 was Tom Brady scoring 320.3 points, per. Take a look at 2019 stats in a four-point per touchdown league. Zachariason found that the PPG your team gets from taking the QB7 in the fourth round isn’t that much different than the QB14 you could take much later. Where owners were making mistakes was continuing to draft QBs in the early to mid rounds of drafts. In most cases, the overall QB1 gives owners an advantage and should be drafted early (think Patrick Mahomes in 2018 and Lamar Jackson in 2019). In his best-selling book, Zachariason points out the differences in points per game (PPG) that you get from your QB compared across the league. Zachariason published his “The Late Round Quarterback” in 2012, the QB position has been extremely devalued. A “Superflex” slot expands the flex to include playing a QB in that slot. Sometimes, leagues have “flex” slots where RBs, WRs, and TEs can be played.
