QB Rankings

[Chwf3rd]

Preamble: In superflex/2QB I favor safer production over upside, unlike a 1 QB league where the lack of scarcity favors valueing the upside plays more. Thus I would rather have a QB that I think can safely give me 4000/25 per year for the next 5 years over someone who has greater upside but maybe more risk. However, in shallow leagues I would value the risky upside QBs more as scarcity isn’t as much of an issue.

1. Russell Wilson, SEA (29)
2. Aaron Rodgers, GB (34)
3: Carson Wentz, PHI (25)
4. Andrew Luck, IND (28) - seemingly directly contradicts my point about favoring stability but I feel confident about his recovery and if he comes back to form he’s easily QB1

8. Deshaun Watson, HOU (22)

Overall I think the rankings are pretty solid. Explain Cousins' ranking to me though. He has put up multiple top 10 seasons in a row, is 29 but yet you have him ranked 13. Just curious what your thoughts are?

Anytime a QB switches teams there’s some uncertainty there. While the weapons in MIN should be considerably better, he’s also leaving the extremely QB friendly system of Gruden and I’m not sure MIN will air it out as much.

Still I think it’s pretty close between him and 5 or so guys in front of him so no argument if you put him higher
