What do you think is the difference in value between D Maye and J Herbert in a 1 QB league?

Depends which value you’re talking about. The trade value (which is based off of perceived value) is probably a mid-high second. The realized or actual value (which is the difference in realized production for your team) is negligible at best. In fact, the same discrepancy happens in SF, only its overinflated. If you break up QBs into tiers based off of historical stats (which can easily be done in any past year), you quickly realize there’s not a lot of tiers. There’s the top 1-4ish, the next 25-28 QBs are all within 1-3 ppg of each other, and the the bottom few that are just cheeks in every way. Note: this is why QBs are not highly valued in 1-QB leagues, despite scoring the most points on the avg. Overlay that with the reality that on the avg, the QB position has the least differential between the top and the replacement level (this is your positional advantage) and it kind of makes you wonder why people spend so much on QBs in SF when they literally act the same way as they do in 1-QB leagues. The answer is because people intuitively think QBs score the most points, so they’re the most important (people used to think this in 1-QB leagues too…decades ago). Layer in basic economics of supply and demand (reduced supply creates higher demand creates higher prices) and really it comes down to a perceived need driving prices up well beyond their usefulness. Don’t get me wrong, there’s more complex ramifications of this, but that’s a soapbox for a different day.

Honestly, not much if you’re trying to get me to pay you to swap my Herbs for your Maye.

Getting the top QB is a luxury that you address after the rest of your team is stacked. It does give advantage at the top, I’m not pretending it doesn’t, it just gives less advantage on the avg than all 3 other positions.
