Home road splits for some QBs last season Big Ben compared to other top dogs.

Big Ben
Home= 24.3
Road= 12.5

Drew Brees
Home= 23.4
Road= 18.1

Aaron Rodgers
Home= 22.3
Road = 24.6

If you can grab Big Ben really late to play in the home games and another off the waiver. You could average 20+ a game from that spot without spending a hefty draft capital on Brady, Rodgers or brees. I'm targeting Big Ben very late this year. Thoughts?

Make sure you get a solid back up. Can always count on Big Ben to miss a few games.

Unless Rodgers (or whomever i feel is the elite QB any given year) makes it to me in like a late 3rd or 4th, this is almost always my plan. Grabbing 2 guys later in the draft to play matchups with. Home/Road splits are often a big component of chosing those 2

Targeting dalton or just streaming hoyer

Like this strat a lot, so here's his home schedule meshed with Daltons.

Week 1 Dalton BAL
Week 2 Roethlisberger MIN
Week 3 Roethisberger road @CHI
Week 4 Dalton road @CLE
Week 5 Roethlisberger JAX
Week 6 Dalton bye Roethlisberger on the road @KC
Week 7 Roethlisberger CIN
Week 8 Dalton IND
Week 9 Roethlisberger on bye Dalton on the Road @JAX
Week 10 Roethlisberger TEN
Week 11 Roethlisberger GB
Week 12 Dalton CLE
Week 13 Dalton PIT
Week 14 Roethlisberger BAL
Week 15 Roethlisberger NE
Week 16 Dalton DET

A lot of home games for Dalton when Roeth is on the road and pretty soft road schedule during the byes and week where they're both on the road.
Thanks to @averagejoe for his home away chart :10:

I was able to draft Philip Rivers late in the last two seasons. He seems to fly under the radar quite often.

Seems like guys in my drafts that you can get late are Carr, Mariota, Winston, Big Ben or Rivers. After Brady, Rodgers and Brees I don't think there is a big difference.

Big Ben is playing Tennessee week 11, not week 10. Everything is moved up a week. He is playing @Indy week 10.

And some QBs play well on the road in the right matchups. Dalton lit up Oakland week 1 in 2015. He goes on the road against defenses like Green Bay week 3 and Tennessee week 10. Also, he plays better in Pittsburgh than at home.
