Hey!
A quick lesson for today - especially if you’re the type who likes to wait on drafting your quarterback:
If you draft your QB1 late… don’t wait forever to grab your QB2.
I know the idea: “Just wait and see how my late-round QB pans out.”
But here’s the problem: By the time you “wait and see,” the good backups are gone.
Here’s the real issue:
If you take someone like Drake Maye or JJ McCarthy in Round 10, you’re banking on a big breakout.
But what if it doesn’t happen? Suddenly you’re stuck streaming QBs - or burning FAAB budget just to stay afloat.
A smarter move:
If I draft a late QB1, I immediately grab a second one with upside 1–2 rounds later. Instead of waiting until Round 15 or 16, I secure my safety net by Round 12.
That way, if my first pick flops, I’m still covered.
Bottom line:
Late-round QB strategies can work… but only if you back them up quickly. Don’t wait until your league-mates have scooped up all the decent options.
See you tomorrow with another tip!
