if you own hurts you should always start him... no matter what... Tua does make it difficult, but if you start playing the guessing game, you will likely lose points... not gain...

on my rankings Tua has a bad matchup this week, so he may not even be on my top 10... dont know for sure, as i didnt actually do rankings yet

This is only really a question because Hurts had a poor fantasy week. Too early to panic IMO.

Hurts, but Tua sure is nice to have as a backup.

Yes right now Hurts is my starter with Tua as my backup.

Perhaps it was an overreaction based upon Week 1 but it's hard to pick one over the other

Not a problem I would want to have, why did you even draft both?

Trade one to the guy with Rodgers?

Eagles aren't going to fix the offense in 3 days. How bad do you think the Vikings defense is?...

Maybe Belichek is the issue here and if you start Tua you'll be facing him both weeks...

Vikings defense is not good, bro. Not at this point, anyway. And going into Philly's home opener with no running game?

Yikes.

We have to have two QBs so I went Hurts and Tua. Mahomes, Allen were taken first

You were fortunate not to take Allen.

As far as QBs go, stick with whom you have. :)

Someone explain to me a league where both are available.
Hurts was early round pick and Tua was a mid round pick in most leagues that I drafted in. Easily could get both if that was your priority.

Right.

The issue is that taking both should not have been the priority.

When one invests an early round pick in a QB, it is a waste of resources to double down and take another a couple rounds later.

I think that is why people here are confused.

But I also remember that @redseat used to auto draft a lot, and this is exactly the kind of thing that happens to auto draft teams.

This time I did NOT have an auto draft...

People went QB heavy first and those two were not taken.

Now it looks like I should be starting TUA over Fields now

Well I just turned Tua into DeVonta Smith, so it’s not a crazy thing to draft him when you’re in RB/WR4 range.
