Quick one guys...I have my Fantasy draft later this week and play in a 10-team QB-friendly league (6 pts per passing TD, 1 pt per 50 passing yards). I have the #2 overall pick.
With the Yahoo projection of Manning throwing 41 TDs and looking at the "worst starter" average value (for those unfamiliar the average value is a way to determine drop off in point difference between players), the numbers would tell me to take Manning at #2 (the numbers would actually indicate he go #1 overall).
In other words Manning is projected to outscore QBs 2-10 by a much greater margin then the top RBs will outscore RBs 2-20.
With the #2 pick in this years draft, with 3 solid RBs (Peterson, McCoy, Charles), it feels counter intuitive to take a QB so high....but the numbers would dictate as such.
Thoughts?
