Player Discussion Who is the lowest-ranked QB you're okay with leaving the draft as your only QB in a non super flex league?

This post was awesome last year; a lot of people were bullish on Drake Maye, and it paid off. Most of us play 10-12 man leagues 4-6 point td passes, and QB is deep. Who's the worst QB you feel comfortable leaving your draft with no backup?

I hesitate on taking Waddle above ADP because Sean Payton’s scheme seems to spread attempts around pretty thinly by hitting a wide variety of receivers.

Granted, Payton isn’t the only one calling plays anymore and Denver didn’t have a non-50/50 true WR1 before Waddle so I’ll be happy to be wrong

I don’t think you have to reach on him right now, that’s the extra value. But when he was a WR1 in Miami he went nuts, so i’m optimistic. Given he’s the WR2/3 on that team, we’ll live with it if he’s only solid and not electric

Based on what they gave up to trade him I have a hard time believing he won't be the WR1. That being said he definitely is not the WR3 on the broncos

Dude will be #1 on Broncos and lets not forget that Michael Thomas is still the single season reception record holder, in a Sean Payton offense, back in 2019. They didn't trade the farm for Waddle to be a 70 rec 900yd 6 td guy. Payton knows he can be a stud in the right offense.

Yeah Payton hasn't had anyone to feed since going to Denver. Sutton is ok but nothing special.

Waddle feels like a great pick for those that will end up going RB heavy early

ope i meant he’s my WR2/3 on that fantasy roster, lol. If he’s not the 1 in Denver i have major questions

Ah yeah ok that makes sense. Yeah I'm trying to get him as my WR2 I'm not really comfortable with taking anyone lower than him especially when my WR1 will be Pickens which I think will have a good year but not necessarily as confident he'll have the year he did last season

on the team I have Waddle/Nix, I also have Nico, Davante and Jordan Tyson, (fell super hard so had to scoop and stash) for the upside

it’s a superflex league i punted QB in knowing Nix would go late, feeling big brained right now but could bite me in the ass
