In real life, the quarterback is everything. It’s not just the most important position in football, it’s the most important position in team sports anywhere. In fantasy football? The quarterback is just another position. It’s the third- or fourth-most important spot of the four major spots, depending on your point of view.
I think it’s the least important field position for fantasy managers to solve (defense and kicker don’t count here).
That doesn’t mean we don’t want to get it right, of course. But you can do well at just about any ADP point with quarterbacks, and in a salary cap draft, there are plenty of reasonable ways to attack the position.
