Team Quarterbacks
More and more leagues are opting to draft team QBs instead of individual players. Why? Because it's there are a limited number of players at the position and you can't stack your team with five backup QBs to handcuff with your starter.
So, if you are worried that Drew Brees' (New Orleans-QB) arm won't hold up, you don't have to draft Brees, Jamie Martin, Todd Bouman, Adrian McPherson, Jim Everett, Chris Evert and Archie Manning in order to protect the position. Instead, you simply draft Brees.
It's an interesting wrinkle and I think it works in deeper leagues, like the ones with 16 teams or the 8-12 team leagues that start two QBs. This way, you aren't cluttering your bench with backups and it gives you a chance to dig deeper at the running back and wide receiver position.
In 8-12 team leagues that start one QB, it doesn't seem worth it. There's no way you'll need to start a backup if that team's starter gets hurt. There are enough QBs to go around in those leagues. You should have at least three legitimate starters at QB in those leagues and if you've doublechecked your bye weeks when assembling your team, you should be all set.
Check back tomorrow as the new column will be posted (focusing on QBs) and the blog will deal with some extra topics and the top 25 QBs ranked for your draft.
See you then.
