The time is coming for you to decide which fantasy quarterback you will go into battle with this season.
Regardless of where you draft your QB1, you will need to have a plan in place to deal with his bye week.
This year's byes range from Week 4 to Week 12, and some of those weeks have as many as six potential starting quarterbacks unavailable to fantasy owners. Depending on your league, you don't necessarily need to draft a backup, but you should be looking at possible fill-ins so you aren't left with a terrible matchup.
Consider this a preseason cheatsheet, showing which quarterbacks you should be targeting on the waiver wire in the weeks leading up to your starter's bye. We took into account how the potential replacements should fare this season, how defenses performed against fantasy quarterbacks last year, and how those defences may have improved heading in 2014.
