Can you put a qb in flex

One thing to remember in all this when choosing your flex player in QB-flex eligible fantasy football leagues is that every league is going to be different. Or maybe tight end receptions are worth two points. Whatever your league scoring rules are, it will be in your best interest to compare each eligible flex position to determine which route you should go.

In some instances the quarterback position could be devalued when compared to other positions so go over your points scoring format carefully. But when there is the option to start a quarterback in the flex spot, you will more than likely have a sizeable advantage if you draft two quarterbacks and start two quarterbacks each week. How much of an advantage will be based on who else in your league is savvy enough to go with a quarterback in the flex as well, but if you have the ability to draft a second top performing quarterback to play in your flex spot you should be able to make it work for you.

One of my leagues has done this for a couple years. Together with variable PPR scoring. Some of us realized early on that grabbing a couple quality QB's early 3rd-5th rounds would set us up to use the 2nd QB as the Flex.

The other result is that more QB's get drafted teams planning on using a QB at flex generally take at least 3 of them , so the old "load up on RBs early because you can get a quality QB late" theory doesn't work. He does have Reggie Bush as his 3 Rb, but even though Young wasn't my goal for a 2 Qb they went even faster than I anticipated , under our scoring the flex should be about even.

Of course, in last year's Super Bowl, using the same strategies, he beat me even though I did outscore him significantly during the regular season. Bottom line is that it allows teams that aren't lucky enough to land 3 stud RB's a chance to compete by going with a different strategy. Sp i have the 1st pick. So i go with LT, and i had plannned to go with best two WR available. Should i think about QB in rd 2 or 3? Is this essentially a 2 QB league now I like it, but ideally I think you need to add more WRs and TEs to your starting lineup so there is a bit more parity.

I don't believe in a specific drafting formula. However getting 2 good QBs early is certainly a very viable strategy. Some team owners use the flex position as hot spots where they put players who are currently on an unexpected hot streak, while still relying on the rest of their team to score the majority of the fantasy points each week.

No one knew if Hunt was going to be a star or not, but team owners added him to their fantasy teams. For security, you could keep your regular running back in his position and put Hunt in the flex position. If he performs well, great!

If not, you have your standard running back still earning points! As the game of football continues to evolve into a more pass-focused game, so too does fantasy football put more emphasis on the wide receiver and tight end positions. In the past, the flex was normally used for a running back, particularly those with pass catching abilities. Nowadays, flex positions are usually filled by wide receivers and tight ends. Although there are only a few elite tight ends in the NFL, many of them rack up touchdowns, and being able to have a second spot for a tight end who might not catch for yards but rather touchdowns is a new strategy.

Additionally, leagues that place a large emphasis on quarterback play will typically have at least a few teams use the flex spot as a second quarterback spot.
