Who's The Better Backup QB?

[Chef99]

Jay Cutler, Carson Palmer, Sam Bradford, Terrelle Pryor, Weeden or Manuel?

10 team standard league and i've got Cam Newton as my starter. This is what I call my "perspective" league, to gauge a different batch of players.

However, I still wanna win.

Now that I think about it, I could just forget about a backup QB until I need one.

That would be my advice. With all those options, you should always have a strong match-up play on a week to week basis. No need for a back-up.

Without checking bye week conflicts;
Cutler
Bradford
Palmer
Weedon
Manuel
Pryor

I could easily see Manuel moving up to Bradford's spot though

I rarely carry two QBs. I like to keep my bench stacked with RBs and WRs so I have a nice variety to choose from for week to week match ups. Plus by hoarding, I can field trade offers if I need something else. You can typically find a serviceable backup QB on waivers when your starter is on bye because outside of the top 8ish QBs, there's not a ton of difference in what's left fantasy points wise.

I like Bradford to break out this year! Finally two years with the same OC and they featured this offence around him.
