Here’s the plan for this week: every day, we’re dedicating an episode on draft strategy for the big four positions in fantasy football, quarterbacks, running backs, receivers and tight ends.


In today’s episode, Scott Pianowski and T.J. Hernandez discuss their approach for quarterbacks. The consensus strategy when it came fo quarterbacks for a long time was no matter what you do, always, always, always wait on drafting a quarterback. Is that how we should handle quarterbacks this year? Scott and T.J. take a look at the entire quarterback draft board and share their advice on how to handle the position in 2020.
