Please pardon my Fantasy Football ignorance, but why is that?

If football is supposed to be a passing game, you would think the QBs would be the most important position in fantasy football.

If the scoring is based upon how many TDs are produced, only one RB has ever scored 28 TDs in a season, and that was LaDanian Tomlinson.  QBs routinely throw for over 30 TDs in a season.

Same thing goes for yards produced.

Yet the reality for FF is that QBs are devalued.

Why?
A lot of it comes down to the fact you only start one QB on your team when WR/RB have 2-3 starters and the pools dwindles a lot quicker on good WR's and RB's than it does for QB's... plus there are still second tier QB that you wouldn't think put up big numbers like rivers who will last until late rounds. Rodgers/Brady/Brees will generally go in round 2-4 in leagues with 10-14 players. rarely do you see someone pull the trigger on one in the first.

Pats 

would pick the Jags, but they don't have enough offense, you have to score to beat NE


Redskins

This is the hardest game to pick to be honest, but I'll take the home team.


Texans

The Titans are hurt everywhere and the Texans barely played at all during the preseason and came on strong in the second half last week. They fully knock off the rust here. Oh and Mike Vrabel is just not a good coach. Texans win by double digits.


Lol you are still butthurt about vrabel arent ya?

Why?

Gets a little more complicated than that, even if the logic is sound. QB is generally your highest scorer (depending on league setup)

TDs: Some leagues QBs only get 4 points for throwing a TD while WR/RBs get 6 points, but we can probably call this a wash. 
Yards: Here's where it really changes. most leagues, a RB/WR gets 1 point for every 10 yards rushing or recieving. QBs usually get one point for every 25 yards passing
Catches: If you are in a PPR league (points per reception) a WR/RB can get 1 point for every catch, but the QB gets nothing for a completion.
QBs lose points for sacks, fumbles, and INTs. WR/RBs ose points for fumbles and negative yards, but not for drops.

The main thing though is most QBs are going to be relatively close in points at the end of the year, with exceptions of course (Brees, Brady, Rodgers) Blake is actually a good Fantasy QB due to his running ability. You only play one QB in a league (usually)

There is a huge drop off in points between the top WR/RBs and the bottom tier. You also start anywhere from 2 - 4 of each of them depending on the league. Getting a group of guys with the likes of Gurley, AJ Green, Fournette, and Tyreek Hill and say Alex Smith as your QB will crush someone who has Drew Brees but their skill guys being say Carlos Hyde, Agohoor, Dion Lewis, and Randall Cobb. (these are just random examples of Tier A vs Tier B/C)

Then you have the "guys who are monsters in PPR but garbage in Standard scoring" like Agholor who had 8 catches for 33 yards. Standard scoring gets you 3.3 points, PPR scoring gets you 11.3. Either way, the QB who threw him those passes got 1.5 points out of that production.

Well...I dunno.  I like my loyalties pure on Sundays.  

I want to root for the Jaguars and against those divisional teams and other competition in the AFC-and Buffalo.

I don't want to sit there and hope so and so on some other non Jaguars team has a good game, because that may work against the Jaguars in some way.

That's why I never got into FF.

3-1 last week. This week it's gotta be...

Texans--The tacks are the furthest thing from full strength. Also they suck at full strength. The Texans also suck, but they probably suck less. Watson has a big game against a bad team, prompting every analyst to induct him into the HoF again.

Skins--Alex Smith and AP eats the Colts defense for breakfast, and Luck throws for another 50+ attempts in a loss.

Jags--This game has been circled on the calendar for a while, and the Pats are weaker than they were in the AFCCG. Plus it's at the Jags' house. It'll be close but Jags take the W.

Yeah.. I'm butthurt about a guy who's 0-5 since he's taken a football field as a head coach and a guy who turned a top defense into the worst in the NFL last season.

Lmao yep, I'm really torn up about it.  Laughing

I hear you. I refuse to draft guys fron rival teams and try not to play someone going against Jax. But it can get tough sometimes. At the end of the day though, a Jags win trumps any FF victory

Week 1 record: 3-1

Week 2 selections.

New England. Leonard Fournette hamstring injury uncertainty is the reason for the selection of the Patriots.
Washington
Houston . The Texans likely will take advantage of the Tennessee Offensive Tackle injuries.
