Winston or Luck: who has more value now?

[TheTroll]

So 1 QB league who would you rather have right now and why?

[HughHoney]

Luck because he’s a much better NFL QB. Only argument I can think of for Winston is if you think Luck will never fully recover from his injury.

[Vcize]

I'd rather have a medium chance of a top 3 QB playing again than a high chance of getting a low QB1.

[Goddard]

Luck. Shouldn't really need much explanation.

[Phaded]

It is very close and I would say you could make a great case for why Winston should have more value. He is also 4+ years younger. I would rather have Winston myself but most will say Luck.

Luck has always been stupid overrated around these parts but he just is not that elite.

Who knows about his health on top of that. There are plenty of other and better options.

[heydangle]

Yeah as long as Luck comes back healthy, it's him.

[lukkynumber13]

In a 2QB league, I'd understand wanting Winston because there's some security knowing he will be a starting QB for the next several years even if he doesn't ever turn the corner. Even Flacco and Dalton have real value in a 2QB league.

But given this is 1QB? Give me the dude who has shown he can be elite (for fantasy, absolutely. Whether he can in real life, that's a different argument).

[Suhmdog]

Luck all day. As an owner myself I'm not worried about him at all.

[RB6]

Luck. No brainer.

Agree

Luck by far, and I was a bit down on him. IND hiring Josh McDaniels is huge for me. It signifies that the concerns about Luck's health are minimal enough for McDaniels to accept the job, and his presence along with Chris Ballard gives me confidence in IND's offense and as a team going forward.

[hockeyBjj]

1 QB Luck for the upside. Only reason to go Jamesis if if your team is elite and for sure for a championship, but you have utterly no quarterback and just need a guy to put up non gooseeggs to win

And yeah, I'm low on Luck, but I have Russel in both my leagues so I don't want to trade even for a discounted value the chance that his arm indeed has fallen off

I agree with this.

This seems a very odd question and I assume only being asked due to concerns about Luck's health. Winston's BEST finish in 3 seasons was the #14 QB which makes him a high end QB2 and those guys are very easily replaceable. These two aren't even close to being on the same tier of talent for me.
