Fantasy Football mock draft: Two-quarterback format produces mad rush to stock up signal-callers

The toughest decision you have to make in any Fantasy league that starts multiple quarterbacks -- Superflex or two-quarterback leagues -- is when to draft your passers. It sets the tone for your entire draft.

We held a 12-team, two-quarterback mock draft Thursday, and this is a PPR league where you get six points for passing touchdowns. Chris Towers was the lone Fantasy manager not to draft at least one quarterback in the first three rounds (he drafted Justin Fields in Round 5), and there were 13 quarterbacks selected in the first 36 overall selections.

By Round 5, six Fantasy managers already had two quarterbacks on their roster, including me. Picking at No. 11 overall, I started my team with Russell Wilson, Travis Kelce, Najee Harris and Trevor Lawrence.

I drafted two more quarterbacks late in Teddy Bridgewater and Jacob Eason, and my biggest regret with this team was not having a more proven third quarterback. But I might have the best starting quarterback duo if Lawrence lives up to the billing of being the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, as well as Wilson remaining a star. And that should give me a big edge.

My running back corps is filled with youth since my top three guys are rookies in Harris, Michael Carter and Trey Sermon, and I also have Latavius Murray and Xavier Jones as reserves. This group has plenty of risk, but there could be a huge reward if Harris, Carter and Sermon play as I expect.

At receiver, I have a strong group with Amari Cooper, D.J. Moore, Chase Claypool, DeVonta Smith and Elijah Moore, and this should be another strength of my roster, along with my quarterbacks. And it definitely helps having Kelce as well.

Now, let's compare my team that went early on quarterbacks to Chris' team since he waited on the position. Picking third overall, Chris started his team with Dalvin Cook, Joe Mixon, Calvin Ridley and Robert Woods before selecting Fields in Round 5.

Chris was able to handcuff Fields with Andy Dalton, and he also has Taysom Hill and Tyrod Taylor. If Fields and Hill hit as starters then Chris' team should be excellent. But there's obvious risk heading into the season, especially if Jameis Winston is the starter for the Saints.

But Chris has solid starting running backs (Cook and Mixon), although he only has Kenyan Drake in reserve. And his receiving corps is excellent with Ridley, Woods, Ja'Marr Chase, Jerry Jeudy, Brandin Cooks, Marquise Brown and Rondale Moore. He has a potential hole at tight end with Blake Jarwin.

You can decide which Fantasy team you like better, and study all the teams in this mock draft to see which roster construction works best for you. I'm happy with my team, especially since I have two quality quarterbacks in Wilson and Lawrence.

In this league, all touchdowns are worth six points, and we award one point for every 10 yards rushing and receiving and one point for every 25 yards passing. We also award one point for every reception. We feature a starting lineup of 2 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE, FLEX (RB/WR/TE), K and DST. There also are six reserve spots for a 17-round draft.
