Quarterback By Committee (QBBC)

Clayton Gray's Quarterback By Committee (QBBC) Clayton Gray Published 09/01/2022

Editors Note: Originally, this article incorrectly used seasonal fantasy points instead of per-game numbers. The rankings did not change, but the volume of acceptable committees was inflated. We apologize for the error.

There are a couple of ways to approach the quarterback position in your draft. You can go after an elite option or wait and use a committee approach.

If you want an elite option, you're in the wrong place. But there is something for you. Click here to find the best backup to your star quarterback.

If you choose the committee approach, you must know which quarterbacks to target to make the best committee possible. Let's get to it.

Starting-Level Quarterbacks

If we are going to have a QBBC, that means we are not drafting a starting-level quarterback. The players below are listed with their projected fantasy points per game.

Side note: If projections are correct, this article could be an argument to draft Josh Allen.

While there are always exceptions, those quarterbacks are generally considered the Top 10. They are in most Top 12 lists and have few question marks surrounding them. If you get one of those guys, you start him. Pretty simple idea.

Beating Dak Prescott

The goal of a QBBC is to compete against quarterbacks in the Top 10. That means our goal is to find duos who will score more than 23.4 PPG.

There are three ways to attempt to beat Dak Prescott

  1. Use two high-end quarterbacks by drafting two right after the Top 10 are off the board.
  2. Use one high-end quarterback by drafting one right after the Top 10 go and a second later in the draft.
  3. Use no high-end quarterbacks and wait until later in the draft two select both players.

Two High-End Quarterbacks

There is a group of quarterbacks just below the Top 10. Let's call them the Next-5.

These five players can creep into some Top 10s and are in almost every Top 15 list you'll see.

So, while it would be expensive, let's see how good a committee you can get with two of these quarterbacks.

Rank Quarterback 1 Quarterback 2 Points
1 Trey Lance - SF Matthew Stafford - LAR 25.7
2 Kirk Cousins - Min Trey Lance - SF 25.1
3 Trey Lance - SF Aaron Rodgers - GB 24.9
4 Trey Lance - SF Derek Carr - LV 24.8
5 Matthew Stafford - LAR Aaron Rodgers - GB 24.5
6 Kirk Cousins - Min Aaron Rodgers - GB 23.9
7 Matthew Stafford - LAR Derek Carr - LV 23.6
8 Aaron Rodgers - GB Derek Carr - LV 23.5
9 Kirk Cousins - Min Derek Carr - LV 23.4
