any suggestions, last year was the first time i did it. I kept waiting and waiting on qb's because value kept falling to me. I got my ass kicked. Mostly because the guys i drafted late stunk like fitzmagic. i think if i would of hit my late guys i would of been good because the rest of my team was dominant, but the qb scoring juices qb's a bit too, and can make them negative with high turnovers as well........

do you wait, do you draft them round 1-2, just get 1 decent one eARLY?

You have to take a QB early even if you have to pass on the big RBs and WRs. I might try to wait a little on my second QB but probably not past the 4th round. And I might not wait on the second QB depending on how the draft goes. Normally QBs score so much more that even the big RBs and WRs.
And my answer is that Rodgers is probably the #1 asset in a 2 qb league.

First year I did 2 QB league made the same mistake. Some guys used their first 3 rounds on QB and even picked up a fourth early, while I was collecting studs at other positions. I got slaughtered. The second year, I didn't screw around and drafted two QBs in round 1&2 and took a third early, did much better. Take a look at your last draft and figure out where you should have drafted QBs, a lot depends on how the rest of the league drafts. If everyone is going QB, QB, QB rounds one, two and three you can't afford not to do the same.

Fantasy football calculator has Prescott's Adp in a 2 QB league as 3.07 :)

Oddly enough, he's the highest of that group i named.

But the point isn't the exact names, but more that 3rd tier QB group.

Maybe not. But in a 2QB league you can't wait either.

Was in a 2QB league a couple of years ago... everyone else was pretty much following the expert rankings and I grabbed Brees and Rodgers. That duo won me games on their own.

last year only rodgers and luck went round 1 in a 12 teamer, then brees, brady, cam ben in the next 2-3, then rounds 4-6 they went flying

u start 2rb, 3wr and a flex, full ppr

only 3 bench players

only 4 points per passing td's

skill positions are ppr, and get bonus points for markers over 100 yards, like 100-125-150-175

so theirs bonus's there too

Bottom line, two stud QB's win those leagues, always. So there's never any reason to not use 2 of the first 3 on them

So adapt to how the draft goes, I'd just go ahead and take QBs round 1&2, but like Fuzzy said you might be able to wait until round 3 for your second, very risky though.

Here's another perspective.
Most leagues start 2 RB.
If you had the chance to draft David Johnson and LeVeon Bell, would you?
Do you think they'd make up for any weakness you may have at other positions?
This is the mindset when you get into a 2 QB system.

true i always adapt to the draft, i go with no plans

i bring one consensus rankings sheet just to keep track of whose drafted

i also dont do mad research, i do some mocks when im bored, and i talk about what i think, but i dont crunch numbers, and check metrics, and make my own rankings etc.........i wing alot of stuff, its worked for me for years

I'm so stubborn and love to zag, so I would probably try an grab the big RB/WRs and try and get lucky at QB.

i.e. last year, if you drafted Taylor and Prescott late, you'd probably be in pretty good shape. Two years ago, Cam was one of the late guys.

....that said, the Rodgers/Ryan owner has a decent chance to "hit" at RB late in the draft too.... and there is ALWAYS a free agent WR scoring double digits.

If you pick three QB in rounds 4, 5, 6, can you :get by"? I think so.

2 of the 3 need to be the guys that hit big, or no... the guys with Brees, Rodgers, plus a tier 2.. will crush you

Yes.

Because QB actually becomes the most scarce position in a 2 QB league. The difference between QB1 and QB24 is huge. Also, because everyone has 2, all starters are rostered. Streaming is not an option. You have to invest in QB early.
