Aloha Scouts,

12-team PPR league - 2RB/2WR/Flex (Q, RB, WR, TE)

RB - Jeremy Hill ~ J-Stewart - Arian Foster - DeAngelo Williams - Jonas Gray

New to this league and although it's theoretically a 2-QB league because of the flex position the scoring for passing stats is unconventional.
Rushing and Receiving TD = 6 pts
Rushing and Receiving Yds = 1 pt / 10 yds
Passing TD = 5 pts
Passing Yds = 1 pt / 50 yds

I held off on drafting a QB and ended up with Tannehill and Alex Smith and now am having regrets. They should be okay because they also run but they may not throw a lot of TD which is where the QB will score big in this league.
Should I use an open bench spot to draft Blake Bortles or Tyrod Taylor or should I consider trading Arian Foster for a QB? Who do you think I can get?

Mahalo!

I agree with Scott... I think you're just fine honestly. I would grab Bortles with that open spot and just watch the waiver wire. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Maybe not panic just yet, but maybe focus on the waiver wire for QB for any changes that come up with teams early in the season, etc. You may be able to play Smith in certain matchups, but I don't know about every week. When healthy with Foster, you have three backs you can play probably most weeks so that's at least good news.

As long as you have an open bench spot and not dropping anyone, I have no issues with picking one of those other QBs as some insurance with the hope maybe they surprise.
