Fantasy Football Quarterbacks: Where is the Value?

This is unquestionably a very strong year for Quarterbacks. The position is very deep, with a lot of big names and star power at the top. However, because of the publicity and notoriety the top QB’s get, they will often be overvalued from a fantasy perspective. You can read much more about this theory and the statistical analysis behind this in the recently released eBook, The Expert Guide to Profitable Fantasy Football available at www.FantasyFootballRiches.com.

Here are my top 10 Quarterbacks this year in terms of point totals, and then we will discuss who presents value for your fantasy team, and who you will likely have to overpay for.

1. Aaron Rodgers
2. Peyton Manning
3. Drew Brees
4. Tom Brady
5. Tony Romo
6. Matt Schaub
7. Jay Cutler
8. Carson Palmer
9. Kevin Kolb
10. Phillip Rivers

It will be tempting to take a top QB this year, but I would recommend against it. Rodgers, Manning, and Brees will likely all have strong seasons, but you will have to pay a high price to get them (in the form of high draft picks).

Three guys in particular stand out at the tail end of the top 10: Jay Cutler, Carson Palmer, and Kevin Kolb. All three present terrific value in fantasy leagues because you can draft them in the middle rounds (7-10). This allows you to target the best WR and RB talent at the top of the draft, while other managers are reaching for the big-name QB. At the end of the year, the production from these mid round QB’s will likely be very similar to those of the big-names (so long as everyone stays healthy). However, your top WR and RB’s are likely to VASTLY outperform their second and third tier WR and RB’s. That is how consistent fantasy football championships are won - Finding value in the draft at each individual position.
