3 QBs? Why?

[UKColt13]

I drafted earlier today. My team:

QB: Luck, Dalton

RB: Spiller, Lamar Miller, Darren Sproles, Andre Brown

WR: AJ Green, Reggie Wayne, Anquan Boldin, Michael Floyd

TE: Vernon Davis

K: Matt Prater, Hauschka

D: 9ers, Skins

First time fantasier, if that's a word, pretty happy with it. Hoped to pick up Dwayne Allen too, but oh well.

precaution for rg3 plus I have green so teaming him up with dalton means a lot of points

drop one kicker. you dont need two.

[schwamm]

You don't need 3 QBs or 2 DSTs either... I seldom carry more than one each... but you're going to worry about his 2nd kicker?

Dalton will almost assuredly be safely available on the waiver wire all year if you drop him, he gets you zero points on your bench, and barring catastrophe, I can't imagine both RG3 and Luck not getting you through your season.

[Dustin]

This is what i got for my league (average joe's) the other day

 

QB: Kaepernick, Roethlisberger

 

RB: Spiller, Giovani Bernard, Daryl Richardson, Andre Brown

 

WR: Demaryius Thomas, Randall Cobb, Mike Wallace, Desean Jackson, DHB

 

TE: Gronk, Dwayne Allen

 

K: Josh Brown

 

Defense: New England

my league you can get a lot of points for defense. im not dropping dalton til I know how healthy rg3 is

[UKColt13]

Which one would you suggest I drop.

Wanted to pick up Dwayne Allen, who is a FA.

Whichever you think is going to score less. If it was me, Dalton, Prater and the Skins would be gone, and it wouldn't be for Allen, but for better depth at RB and WR.

[schwamm]

Do what you want, but from my perspective you are wasting valuable roster positions, and for very little return.

you actually remembered what round you drafted your players? good team, but wrs are alittle inconsistent

I expect either Colston or Nelson to have a turnaround year from last year. It is more injuries than anything else that I am worried about with them, to be honest. Production, I am not worried as long as they stay healthy.

colston and nelson deal with qbs spreading the ball so your not gonna get consistent numbers week in and week out. same can be said about thomas now that welker is in town

[chad72]

Standard

QB's   Russell Wilson and  Joe Flacco

WR's   Julio Jones, Wes Welker, Anquan Boldin

TE       Greg Olsen

K          Matt Prater

DEF     San Francisco

I had to choose making it RB strong or WR strong, I chose the RB route obviously.

 

The idea is that I just get enough red zone looks (that all those 3 WRs get, IMO, especially Colston and DT because of their size) that will help me with a decent combo of yardage or TD number to get by.

If i can make a recommendation, I would try to pick up Kenbrell Thompkins of off the waiver wire if he's still there. I don't trust Boldin as a #3 receiver and I don't think that Welker is going to have a great year. There's a lot of mouths to feed in Denver and Welker was never really a red-zone threat or a big-play guy.

 

Thompkins is looking to be the #1 receiver in New England.

I'll have to check, but I don't recall anyone drafting him.  Thanks for the heads up,  I'll check it out.

What do you guys think?

Pretty solid all around, but unless you get really lucky, you are lacking sufficient depth at WR. I really wish I understood the logic of carry extras at TE and DST (and QB) to cover one week each, but I'm done banging that drum.

Michael Vick was because if he takes off, he could either be trade bait to improve a position I am deficient in. If pre-season O-line protection is any indication, Vick could be just that, what I expect him to be.

 

The extra TE because of the NE TE situation uncertainty and again, trade bait possibly.

 

DST, I totally understand your point in having 2 of them but the NFC West plays the AFC South and I felt there will be enough turnovers along with plays made by QBs of AFC South that 2 DSTs from NFC West allowed me to mix and match based on matchups. Plus, that Cardinals' O-line just lost Jonathan Cooper possibly for season and I bet Palmer is going to get himself whacked enough times, that is 2 games I am definitely playing the Rams' D too.

[Coltivated]

Picked up Christian micheal as fa cuff to Lynch in my keeper league. Taking a flyer but I am optimistic.

Chad, I've been trying to give more clarity and focus to my explanation of why teams don't need to carry 2 DSTs, Ks, TEs, or (in most cases) QBs, but clearly I'm not doing a sufficient job of sharing the logic. I can't promise it'll be any more effective, but would you entertain an effort to use a little Socratic (or the lesser Schwamm-cratic) method... with a little question-answer exchange?

I only have one TE, one DEF, and one kicker..

I always pick an extra  up on their "bye" week, then drop them again after.

That has always worked for me.

Here is the deal. When you cannot pick a stud D, which you never know which D will end up being that stud, you play matchups. So, when I get Ds round 10 and later, I play that way and that has worked for me several times over the years.

 

The 2 QBs and 2 TEs probably won't last throughout the season though.

Fair enough. I will leave it alone.
