An idea was brought to me that I would like to entertain a conversation on. The idea of two starting QB's, but only with the strictest definition that the 2nd starting QB would be a direct handcuff to your current starting QB in the NFL. This would allow the handcuff not only to finish for the RL NFL starting QB, but allow that handcuff QB to finish that same game for our fantasy league. For example: The Jaguars in this league has Jared Goff and Sean Mannion, if Jared Goof were to get hurt, or leave the game for any other reason, Sean Mannion's points would be added to the score of the game being played here at Legacy. It would effectively protect against a QB injury during a game, where we would combine the score of the two starting QB's of a Legacy NFL team. But, the 2nd starting QB would have to be a direct handcuff to the current QB you have on your roster. Could something like this work? Thoughts?

I can see where this idea came from but I am against it, I just feel it will make a team need to trade for the back up and makes it even harder to use the trading pieces for other needed areas. Not to mention the value on back ups is so widely different for people. I trade for back ups at a 4th round pick and then have had GMs tell me they need a 2nd back. Also as a GM I like certain QBs that get draft as back ups and like to add them with the hope they become starters. So I would not be willing to trade them till im for sure they will not be a starter.

Not sure it's a concept conducive with a 32-team Dynasty league. Dolphins GM mentions the fact that not all teams have a "direct" handcuff - and acquiring the same could be extremely difficult. I agree wholeheartedly with his position. Barring that requirement, there are also teams that would have no back-up QB whatsoever available, thus creating an unfair competitive advantage to those teams that have a back-up.
