Overpay for Lawrence?

Postby fantasyhermit » Fri Nov 26, 2021 7:31 pm

Howdy all. This is a 1qb league but Qbs get 1 point per completion so the average starter is putting up 35+ ppg. I guess it's because of that, but quarterbacks are stupidly expensive in this league. Right now only 1 owner is even willing to move a qb, and they are wanting Dobbins for TLaw.

I've been stacking rb/wr for 3 seasons now hoping to snag a rookie qb in the 2nd, but they have always gone in the 1st. So I have a good young crop of rb/wr, but virtually nothing at qb. I'm on track for a top 3 pick again but most of my losses have been close enough that with a starting qb I'd be 11-2 instead of 3-8. All this considered, would y'all move Dobbins for Lawrence? Thanks for your time. Roster is below:

12 team: QB-RB-RB-WR-WR-F-F-F-T

qb: Mills, Minshew, Love, Lock
rb: Swift, Dobbins, Carson, Jacobs, Mitchell, ingram
wr: Chase, AJB, Higgins, E Moore, Renfrow, Gallup, AB, Meyers
te: Hock, Hurst, Rudolph
Team 1:
12 team SF PPR/2PPR TE Prem, .2 ppc
Q-SF-R-W-F-F-F-F-T-T

WR: MT, Amari, Kupp, Pittman, Miller, Agholor, John Brown, Enunwa, Foster, Wilson, Preston Williams, AB
TE: Kelce, Kittle, Tonyan, Davis, Dissly, Knox, T.Moss


Team 2:
Q-SF-R-R-W-W-F-F-T-T-D-K-IDP-IDP PPR
QB: Mahomes, TLaw, Darnold, Bridgewater
RB: Zeke, Swift, Singletary, Dillon, Mack, Penny, LMurray

Based on the scoring, this seems like buying low on Lawrence to me. Those settings could see a QB score 50+ a game somewhat consistently. I would make that deal. The scoring is hugely in favor of QBs.

Mahomes and Herbert were averaging over 50ppg last season, with some games being 70+. Most of my losses this season were by a deficit of less than 12 points, and that is without Dobbins playing at all. Spelling it out like that it seems like a no brainer I suppose. Thanks for the response.

If all the QB's go in the 1st round, it's valued like Superflex. I'd happily give Dobbins for TLAW.

That scoring system is a step beyond superflex. QBs are diamonds. No brainer, get Lawrence.

Easily Lawrence here. The only (short-term) negative that I see is that adding Lawrence will likely win you more games this year (based on the scoring you stated), which in term will likely knock your draft position down a few spots. Small price to pay for Lawrence though, especially with this 2022 draft class.
