Its definition is self-explanatory: Instead of one active quarterback in your weekly lineup, you start two.
Thankfully, there's a fantasy football format that addresses these shortcomings: It's called the two-quarterback league. That's a lot of fantasy owners making the wrong starting decisions many weeks. For a comparison point, the quarterbacks who were started in at least 50 percent of ESPN leagues averaged 17.5 fantasy points. Leaping a few tiers higher, and again using 2013 data, the collective group of healthy, starting NFL quarterbacks who were owned but benched in at least 50 percent of ESPN leagues averaged 16.6 fantasy points. That's a lot of production left untouched.Īnd that's just scraping the bottom of the positional barrel. The leading weekly totals, among players in that group, resulted in an average of 25.4 fantasy points.

It's a quarterback-happy NFL world, and as fantasy football owners, we enjoy reaping the benefits of their staggering statistics.
