Drafting a Fantasy QB Early

Via / Source

This was a cool graphic I found - making the point that most fantasy football owners who drafted top QBs early are likely to be losing this season.

Updating this graphic with week-3's stats, Rodgers had about 8 in week-3 against the Seahawks. In week-3 of 2011 (and I have no idea why this is N/A in the graphic to begin with), Rodgers had about 24.

So the graphic is, in fact very accurate - in that if you drafted a top-5 or top-6 QB this year, you are likely not winning much so far this year.

I tried to get Cam Newton in most leagues, but I wound up getting Michael Vick. After the season I had last year (waiting a long time to draft a QB) I wasn't about to do it again. Trying to get Vick was still pretty early (probably 6th or 7th QB drafted), and he's got 9 turnovers through 3 games. The league in which I have been starting Romo is 3-0.

If you waited for a QB this season (unlike most seasons) you are probably doing very well.

I love that song!! Thank you Aileen! And they have a few more good ones, but as a bonus, here is "Institutionalized".. probably the one they're known for.

This is a travesty! I'm willing to bet we've just seen the last of these stupid replacement refs.. Goodell has got to mandate these owners pay the refs what they want, and get on with it. It was already ridiculous before this MNF game - the way this one was called has got to make it clear as day to Goodell. Oh, and give the Packers this game in a monumental reversal.
