I think a big part of the problem is that the "common wisdom" used for fantasy football hasn't really gotten with the times; it's suggested we approach fantasy football drafts the same way you did in the early-mid 2000s. Back then, RBs were significantly more reliable for lots of yards and at least one TD per game. Marshall Faulk, Larry Johnson, Priest Holmes, Shaun Alexander, LaDanian Tomlinson, Edgerrin James, Tiki Barber, Clinton Portis, Corey Dillon, Ahman Green...all of these guys fit into that category at some point between 2000-2006. The rules have changed, or, at least, the enforcement of them has, to favor passing much more. As a result, QBs account for far more points. But for some reason, fantasy advice has never really adjusted.
