Top 10 Quarterbacks “4-2” From 2017

[social_warfare]

Here is a list of the Top 10 Fantasy Football Quarterbacks in 2017 in a “4-2” scoring format based on ESPN’s fantasy football’s standard scoring settings.

There are three rankings metrics examined when looking at these Top 10 scoring Quarterbacks of 2017. All of these metrics only count data for 15 weeks of an NFL Fantasy Football season since BYE weeks don’t help anyone AND assuming you don’t play in week 17…which if you do find another league:

1. The average number of fantasy points scored by a player over the course of 15 games in fantasy football season
2. The average % of a time a player has scored double-digit points over the course of those 15 weeks
3. The average number of double-digit points scored when a player has achieved a double-digit point total

The purpose of these metrics is to give you an idea of just how much the Top 10 overall scoring Quarterbacks in 2017 helped you on average during the course of a season, how consistent there were at helping you achieve double-digit points during a season, and when they did go off by how much.

Basically, with this information, you can start to understand the differences in not just WHAT a player scores, but HOW they do it and HOW often.

Over the course of the offseason, we’ll be providing you with more offensive skill-player content as well as content at other positions leading up to and through the 2018 Fantasy Football season.

Here is your Top 10 Quarterbacks scoring data for 2017 in a “4-2” scoring format!

There is a reason why people recommend waiting on drafting a quarterback in fantasy football drafts. Less than 4 fantasy points on average in your typical standard (4pts for TD and -2pts for INT’s) fantasy football leagues separate the top 10 quarterbacks in total points scored over the course of 15 games. We’ll discuss how that changes in atypical “6-4” leagues where passing TD’s count for 6pts and INT’s count for -4pts in part two of this posting.

Barring any personal allegiances to a particular player you can clearly see from the distribution of scoring, how often they scored double-digit points, and the average number of double digit points accumulated when a player scored in the double-digits that any one of these top 10 quarterbacks would have been sufficient as your starter for your fantasy football team this past year and quite probably will be going into 2018. Even with a quarterback like Matthew Stafford, who only averages 16.5 points when scoring in the double-digits, one thing is for certain which is he’ll always score double-digit points for you. Only he and Drew Brees could make that claim in 2017.
