The Quarterback position in fantasy football is one where you can gain a lot of ground on the competition if you are fortunate enough to snag one of the top five fantasy football quarterbacks and bolster your lineup with solid talent.   If you are a savvy draftnik, you might overlook the gaudy numbers of Drew Brees or the perrenial touchdown machine that is Peyton Manning and let someone else grab them while you take a premiere running back in the first round of the your fantasy football draft.  The right move might then be to target a value pick in the second or third round by taking one of the other premiere passers.  However, snagging a top tier quarterback to anchor your team's offensive output is an excellent foundation for fantasy football GOLD.  If you can find a way to surround him with a stud fantasy back and some high quality receivers you have the makings of a championship squad.   My strategy tends to be to grab a top back in the first round and then follow with a stud QB in the second, because once you solidify your quarterback position early in the draft you can concentrate on other areas of need and attend to your selection of a backup quarterback much later in the draft.  In leagues that allow quarterbacks to register seven points for touchdowns instead of four, this strategy becomes even more significant as you now have the potential to leave your competition in the dust when they start Matt Hasselbeck, David Garrard, or Jason Campbell against the Philip Rivers or Matt Schaub you selected in the second round.  As you look to draft your quarterback, pay close attention to the league scoring system.  Scoring systems that award four points for touchdowns or negative points for interceptions and fumbles should cause you to reevaluate your draft board.  The running back-running back philosophy previously employed by fantasy football owners used to work five years ago, but this is a new NFL.  The Quarterback position is experiencing a rebirth whereas running back by committee and watered down talent have hurt the significance of the running back position in the NFL.

Fantasy Dud - Donovan McNabb
Has there ever been a player as mild mannered and consistently productive as Donovan McNabb, that has been as much of a lightning rod for criticism and rebuke? Well, we hate to continue pile on Donovan, but anyone who drafts the Washington-bound quarterback expecting a banner year is going to be sorely disappointed. In our nation's capital, McNabb will find an inferior offensive line, downgrades across the board at wide receiver, and a offensive scheme that, at least on the surface, seems less likely to generate big numbers from the quarterback position than the pass-happy system he left behind in Philadelphia. So much for the grass being greener. Waiting until the later rounds to draft a quarterback can be sound draft strategy but don’t let your fantasy team's championship hopes ride on McNabb’s ability to stay healthy and produce big numbers week in and week out.

Fantasy Sleeper - Matt Moore
Matt Moore did enough in his late season audition as the Panthers starting quarterback to earn the trust of the front office and was thought to be the unquestioned number one heading into 2010. The improvement in the offensive product that the Panthers put on the field with Moore as the starter, versus that with the beleaguered and now jettisoned Jake Delhomme at the helm, was striking. One wonders what the hell took so long. Moore’s numbers over his five starts in 2009 project out to almost 3200 yards and 26 touchdowns over a 16 game season. Moore would find himself solidly in the top 15 fantasy scorers at his position with that type of production. Before we get too carried away however, let’s not forget that John Fox is calling the shots in Charlotte. The Panthers are primarily a running team and will continue to employ a very conservative approach on offense. Also disconcerting is the drafting of quarterback Jimmy Clausen during this year's NFL draft. The rookie from Notre Dame was supposed to be the most NFL-ready QB of the 2010 class. That could translate into Moore having a very short leash if he struggles. Still, as a late round selection, he could be one of the best value picks available this year.
