Draft a quarterback early? Wait it out? What's the best way to build your team in a two-quarterback league?
You have questions. We have answers. And this 12-team, two-quarterback, 0.5 PPR mock draft should help anyone who plays in this format or in a superflex league.
For those of you who want to draft a quarterback or two early, take a look at Dave Richard's team. He was the first owner who drafted two quarterbacks with Andrew Luck in Round 3 and Russell Wilson in Round 4.
Drafting from the No. 10 spot, Richard started his team with Kareem Hunt and A.J. Green before getting his passers. The rest of his running backs are Ronald Jones, Rashaad Penny, Corey Clement, Peyton Barber and Spencer Ware. His receiving corps along with Green includes Marvin Jones, Emmanuel Sanders and Michael Gallup. And he has Trey Burton at tight end, along with a third quarterback in Andy Dalton.
This is a solid team that features two potential top-five quarterbacks in Luck and Wilson, along with stars in Hunt and Green and quality options in Marvin Jones, Sanders and Burton. He has Tampa Bay's backfield locked down, and if Penny (finger) can play at a high level, this team should be playoff bound.
On the other hand, R.J. White waited on his quarterbacks, and the first one he drafted was Jared Goff in Round 7. His second quarterback came off the board in Round 11 with Ryan Tannehill, and he also added Baker Mayfield in Round 12.
By waiting on quarterbacks, he was able to stockpile talent from the No. 11 spot with Alvin Kamara, LeSean McCoy, Lamar Miller, Chris Thompson and Chris Ivory at running back, Odell Beckham, Amari Cooper, Julian Edelman, DJ Moore and Marquise Lee at receiver and Evan Engram at tight end.
While Richard has the better quarterback situation than White, White might have the better overall roster, especially if Goff, Tannehill or Mayfield finish with quality production this season.
As for my team, I took my first quarterback in Round 3 with Tom Brady, but I waited until Round 10 to draft my second quarterback in Tyrod Taylor. I also drafted Joe Flacco in Round 11.
My running backs from the No. 8 spot are Saquon Barkley, Mark Ingram, Marshawn Lynch, Marlon Mack, Chris Carson and Rob Kelley, and my receivers are Michael Thomas, Demaryius Thomas, Chris Hogan and Geronimo Allison. I also got a steal at tight end with Jordan Reed in Round 12.
I'll obviously be in trouble if Taylor and/or Flacco are replaced by the high-profile rookies playing behind them, but if one or both of them start all season then my team should be stacked, especially if Reed is healthy.
In this league, all touchdowns are worth six points, and we award one point for every 10 yards rushing and receiving and one point for every 25 yards passing. We also award 0.5 point for every reception. We feature a starting lineup of 2 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, FLEX (RB/WR/TE), K and DST. There will also be six reserve spots for a 16-round draft.
