I had my Fanasty Draft today on Yahoo

[DeucesUp]

Draft isn't great, but one thing which no has mentioned is that with 2 starting QB's, the value of QB's goes WAY up and you did quite well with both Bulger and Collins.

And your post sort of indicated scoring was 1 pt / 10 yds including passing?. Pretty unusual, but if that's true then QB's become absolutely huge and you should be in good shape. If it's a more typical 30yds/1pt or 50yds/1pt passing and only 4pts for passing TD's, then your good QB's won't be as big an advantage.

A good example of how the scoring and roster rules affect what constitutes a good team.

The league point system is 1 point for every 10 yards, including passing. There are also fractional points. SO 15 yards would be 1.5 points. The fact that the league is 2 starting QB's and 3 starting WR's made me focus on those 2 positions more than anything. I noticed most of these guys didn't pick their 2nd QB until 9th or 10th rounds because they were grabbing so many RB's.

If the guys in your league weren't drafting their 2nd QB until late, they were probably just following generic drafting advice / using generic cheat sheets and not making adjustments for the unusual rules of 2 starting QB's and passing yards worth 0.1pt - the same as rushing/receiving yards. In this case it makes a huge difference in the value of QB's.

Manning and Culpepper would be 1,2 on my draft card. And unless I was certain before the draft started that my opponents would let QB's slip, McNabb and Bulger would also be first rounders. Collins & Green would be 2nd rounders. And probably another 3-5 QB's would be worthy of 3rd rd selections.

To get 2 top-8 QB's and draft them in the 3rd round and later (you didn't say where you drafted them, but it wasn't rd 1 or 2)is an absolute steal. What others have said is true, your team would be even better drafting McGahee instead of Harrison in round 1, but the other players in your league made big mistakes by not drafting QB's earlier and in fantasy football, like poker, you make your biggest gains off your opponents mistakes. You should be able to ride your QB's and be a contender for the league title.

In a league where passing yards are 10yd/pt. I can't see not picking two QBs w/ my first two picks.

Cool, I hope I win. The bastards in my league were telling me my team sucked compared to theirs. I picked Harrison in the 1st Round, Barber in 2nd, Bulger in the 3rd, and Collins in the 4th.

Manning and Culpepper were taken in the 1st round.
A guy picked McNabb in the 2nd round. No other QB's were taken.
Trent Green was the only other QB to be taken in the 3rd round besides me taking Bulger.
Farve and Brady were also taken in the 4th w/ Collins.
Vick, Brees, and Delhomme were in the 5th round.
Pennington, Hasselbeck and Plummer were in the 6th round.

Other than me taking Collins, Delhomme was the earliest 2nd QB grabbed by someone.

your going to get screwed with bettis unless the other guy in pitt goes down again since bettis has already said he wants to be the short yardage goal line guy
