That's why standard formats lack realism. I think the way I designed my league goes a little way in combating that. My goal (one of them at least) was to make the Live Draft mirror the way an actual NFL draft really goes. A franchise defining QB should be in the 1st round discussion, just like it is for NFL teams. The elite QBs should go in the in the first few rounds, or at least be a logical pick for a team. Bumping QB value for touchdowns, passing yards, etc, helps convey their value. You also have the scarcity in my league that you'd find in a 2 QB league since there's 20 teams. Add those tweaks together and I think it makes the QB position much more realistic and fun to play with. Being able to sit on getting a QB for 9-10 rounds and then drafting a more than viable option shows the fundamental flaw in how fantasy deals with that position.It really sky rockets the value of an important position. I play in multiple 2qb leagues* and i find it weird that in standard formats i can draft a top 10 qb in the ninth round or during the season pick up a top 15 qb off the wire. I'll put it this way, if you played in a 1RB league, wouldn't you want to advocate for at least 2RB's?
* = 10 team.
You can't sleep on getting a QB in my league.
