Draft Strategy: The typical strategy for QBs has been to wait until you’ve at least fortified your RB and WR positions before snagging your QB, due to great depth at the position and the fact that you only start one QB (with the obvious exception in 2 QB leagues). For the 2025 season, take a two pronged approach.  In case your draft board lines up and you have a chance to take one of the QB options in tier 1, go for it. Otherwise if you miss out on the tier 1 QBs, it’s all good – snag one of the options in tier 3 or (or tier 2 if you’re presented with good value) without panicking. If you wait until tier 4 for your first QB, make sure to grab two from that group – including one with upside.
 
In case you play in a league which starts two QB’s, ignore the paragraph above. For two QB leagues, do your best to grab one of the tier 1 or 2 QBs – they will be first rounders there. From there, grab another QB among the tier 3 through 4 group. If you miss out on the tier 1-2 QBs, then make sure to lock down at least one tier 3 QB, if not two.
