Fantasy Football: QB Ranks and Overall Draft Position

Whenever one listens to various fantasy football experts talk about players, one always hears this guy is a RB2 or a 3rd wide receiver or a QB2. The problem is there isn't any sort of way to see these players grouped together. Rotisserie Musings steps into this gap and provides RB1, RB2, WR1, WR2, QB, TE, FLEX and Bench designations for your improved fantasy football preparation and knowledge.

Now the QBs with the overall draft spot. This information provides some intelligence on how long you can wait and still expect to fill the particular position.

I agree that Brees and Brady are the cream of the crop, but I think that having them ranked so low overall on your board is a mistake. Take a look at the top points earners every year and the top 5 usually includes 2 or 3 qbs. I usually do quite well in my leagues, and its because I undervalue rbs and pick the best player available.

True on the points, but roster construction only allows one starting QB. Comparing a QB to another QB is the way to rank them. While the top Qbs far outscore their second tier, the second tiers are not that far apart from each other

If a league allows a team to start any offenxive player as a Flex, then looking purely at Points makes sense. Who wouldn't take a QB over a Rb, WR or TE on that basis?

Of course, I do believe you're correct to recognize QBs are slightly under-valued relative to RBs.
