Do I take a all star QB early? Like Rodgers or Brady in the 3rd-4th round? Or hang back and load up on rb’s and wr’s and take stafford late?

RB, bruh.

QB don't mean shyt for fantasy, really.
Take Watson in like Round 5, or later.

But it's dependent upon what your opponents draft. If your league has a bunch of goofballs drafting QBs left and right early on..you'll be able to stack your team with RBs and WRs and still whoop ass with a mid-tier scrub like Alex Smith.

Nah man get that all star qb. The difference between Rodgers scorin 28 a game - compared to Rivers scoring 17-18 is big. Ppl stack up on players that rarely do much better than later rd players. Chris Hogan, marquise goodwin in the 7th n 8th rd is comparable to some of these wrs that you'll pass Rodgers for in the 4th. Get that elite quarterback n dont look back. The truth is - the team u draft is gonna be altered alot anyway. Don't hesitate to draft the sure thing. But definitely go running back first 2 rds

That really doesn't make sense. Reaching early for a qb is normally ill advised. Most leagues only start 1 qb position, whereas they'll start 2 rbs/2-3 wrs and/or a flex. So it's important to get as many good position players as possible, especially in a PPR league.

The QB class is super deep this year. You can wait.

Everything you said is true - but it's one step ahead- if u know your stuff. For exp: In the 4th I take Rodgers and you take Lamar miller. I look nuts. But I already know that Donta Foreman is coming for lamar miller spot. So I get qb who is gonna put up top tier #'s each week- and dont have worry about up n down games from him. Another exp: I take Jags D in the 8th n you take Funchess. You got deeper at wr - but I can get Kenny Stills 2ds later- n he puts up similar numbers as Funchess. Now when we face each other - im pretty much guaranteed to win the qb n defense battle- and all that depth it looks like u have - really isnt a difference maker. Ppl will draft McKinnon n Miller - thinking they are stacking - but both of em got dudes like Bredia n Foreman about cut in they production. U gotta get the sure thing. QB is deep - but u cant trust alot of those names every week. Rodgers u can

The ADP for Rodgers is about the 4th round anyway though, so it's not like you're stealing him. If Rodgers falls to you, that's fine, but after Rodgers and maybe Brady you can afford to wait on qb, where everyone else falls.

Again the Jags defense is considered the top defense, so if someone wants to grab them in the 8th it's whatever, but by no means should a defense generally be drafted so early, where it's just one position in a fantasy lineup, and the variance is high.

The times I drafted a QB early I sucked at first I never did and last year only reason I missed the playoffs was David Johnson. I think I had a QB I picked up on the waiver wire and drafted Carr late

PPR league makes it way more balanced as suppose to standard rules where it's dominanted by QBs. Granted... You still need a good QB to win a money league..

If Wilson falls to the 2nd or 3rd. I'd pick him up. A good QB on a bad team put up ridiculous stats like Brees for most of his career.
