Winners/Losers Winner: Top QB’s Of the virtual library of statistics that is profootballreference.com, the Fantasy Stats section occupies a small corner. Within that corner though includes a handy little stat dubbed VBD (Value Based Drafting) popularized by Joe Bryant in the 1990’s. It’s defined as:  the players fantasy points minus the fantasy points of the baseline player, where the baseline player is the  12th-ranked QB, the 24th-ranked RB, the 30th-ranked WR, or the 12th-ranked TE Of the top 10 players ranked in VBD now, four are QB’s (Allen, Jackson, Hurts, Mahomes).Now you may say “Max, of course QB has the most in the top 10, they score the most points” or “we only have eight teams so this...
