2020 Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Go all in for your quarterbacks in a 2QB league? Here are three approaches

We preach all the time about ready on a quarterback, however that does not work in a two-quarterback league. You need to be aggressive drafting quarterbacks in that format. And that is what occurred right here in the two-quarterback draft we held Tuesday.

Three quarterbacks had been chosen in Round 1, seven by Round 2 and 16 by Round 4. In complete, 41 quarterbacks had been drafted, together with 9 NFL teams that had a number of passers chosen (Dolphins, Chargers, Washington, Bears, Saints, Ravens, Raiders, Eagles and Patriots).

Chris Towers and Ben Gretch had been two Fantasy managers who began their groups with a pair of quarterbacks in the primary two rounds. Let’s give attention to Chris’ staff, and he drafted Patrick Mahomes at No. 3 general and Josh Allen at 2.10.

Chris solely drafted one different quarterback in Alex Smith in Round 15, which is not very best since Smith is not assured to start out at any level this season in Washington. But Chris has two potential top-five guys in Mahomes and Allen. 

If each keep wholesome and dwell as much as expectations, Chris ought to have a dominant quarterback duo. And Chris has time to search out a third quarterback since Mahomes’ bye is Week 10, with Allen on a bye in Week 11.

Chris took a Zero-RB method along with his staff. After the 2 quarterbacks, he drafted DeAndre Hopkins, Cooper Kupp, Amari Cooper and Zach Ertz along with his subsequent 4 picks. His first working again was Kareem Hunt in Round 7, and he adopted that with D’Andre Swift and Cam Akers along with his subsequent two picks.

He has Bryce Love and Boston Scott on his bench, in addition to reserve receivers in Christian Kirk, Allen Lazard and N’Keal Harry. This staff has the potential to be superior if everybody stays wholesome and a minimum of two of his working backs are above common.

Heath Cummings took a completely different method than Chris. Heath did not draft his first quarterback till Round 7 with Tyrod Taylor. His second quarterback is Derek Carr, who he drafted in Round 8. Heath additionally has Taysom Hill and Robert Griffin III on the bench, and that is clearly a weak group.

But the energy of Heath’s staff is every part else. His working backs (Austin Ekeler, James Conner, Le’Veon Bell, Jordan Howard, Latavius Murray and Justin Jackson) and receivers (Davante Adams, Allen Robinson, Robert Woods and Jamison Crowder) are nice, and he has Evan Engram at tight finish. If his quarterbacks are above common, Heath may have the most effective staff in this league.

For my staff, I took a hybrid method of Chris and Heath. I drafted Deshaun Watson in Round 2, Cam Newton in Round 5 and Gardner Minshew in Round 7, and if Newton is again to his pre-injury kind, I needs to be glorious at quarterback.

My working backs are Alvin Kamara, Derrick Henry, David Montgomery, Tevin Coleman, Joshua Kelley and Ke’Shawn Vaughn. My receivers are Adam Thielen, T.Y. Hilton, Marvin Jones, Diontae Johnson and Sterling Shepard. And Mike Gesicki is my tight finish. I like the steadiness of my roster, and I’m assured that if wholesome, this staff ought to make the playoffs. 

As you may see, right here are three completely different examples of find out how to construct a staff in a two-quarterback league. You can go heavy on quarterbacks like Chris, wait on the place like Heath or take a balanced method like me. We’ll have to search out out throughout the season which technique labored greatest.

In this league, all touchdowns are value six factors, and we award one level for each 10 yards speeding and receiving and one level for each 25 yards passing. We additionally award one level for each reception. We characteristic a beginning lineup of 2QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE, FLEX (RB/WR/TE), Okay and DST. There additionally are six reserve spots for a 17-round draft.
