When people talk fantasy football, many people prize the quarterback as one of the top positions to draft.
They create lists of five or six quarterbacks that they must be able to get, whom without, they will be facing an uphill battle all season.
However, by altering your strategy to use a quarterback by committee system, you can get the best performance from your quarterback without giving up one of your early draft picks.
A quarterback by committee team involves an active rotation of quarterbacks.
Where most teams pick a go-to quarterback and then use their backup only for the bye week, this type of strategy aggressively uses both quarterback options.
In this manner, you can optimize your performance by picking two quarterbacks later on, allowing you to use an earlier pick for a better running back or wide receiver.
The important point in utilizing the quarterback by committee strategy is to study the schedules of middle leveled quarterbacks.
You want to find options that have schedules that are compatible, with each quarterback playing a poor pass defense team in different weeks.
What's more, ideally the two options will have different bye weeks so you don't need to look for a third quarterback to fill that week.
This strategy works especially well in recent years as the depth at the quarterback position as grown significantly.
With fifteen or more viable quarterbacks in the league, you can get a strong line-up by letting the top eight or so go before you make your pick, and then taking two of the medium quality quarterbacks when the opportunity arises.
Using this strategy, you'll be able to build the best team possible.
You will get some of the top players at a variety of positions while your opponents waste their picks on top name quarterbacks.
In addition, you can rest assured knowing that each week, your team will be going against easy opponents and you can constantly take advantage of these weaknesses.
