Simply put, the value gained over a replacement quarterback from the waivers just isn’t good enough to justify spending high draft capital. In 1QB leagues, there is usually not much of a reason to prioritize drafting a quarterback. For those unaware, the typical rule that defines superflex is the additional flex spot that can be a quarterback or any of the usual offensive positions. And that usually comes own to personal preference more than draft capital or even landing spot.There is growing interest in the fantasy community for superflex leagues. I liked the value and see Wallace as a player with upside to to take over the WR1 job in Baltimore at a slight discount.Īt this point in the draft you aren’t usually looking at impact players for this season, so longterm upside is the key. With the second pick in the third round I went against my previous thought process and grabbed a Ravens wide receiver. Pat Freiermuth is going to be a solid tight end for the Steelers and if I wasn’t packed with okay tight ends on my team, I probably would have grabbed him over Mitchell. Mitchell has similar upside to Trey Sermon at a cheaper price in a strong 49ers rushing scheme. And I also like Mitchell, as I grabbed him with the 3.05 slot I picked up in my first round trade. Round three is a good time to get Stevenson, who could replace Sony Michel as early as this season. In round 3 the player pool starts to thin out and in single quarterback leagues it will be even thinner, but there are still strong picks available. Even if Aaron Rodgers doesn’t return to Green Bay, wide receiver Rodgers has an easy path to playing time. I like the value with Amari Rodgers at 2.11. In the end, I just don’t trust the Ravens passing game whereas I at least see Moore getting more targets on average in New York. But that’s also why he fell and getting him at 2.09 is decent value. Kadarius Toney has the most draft capital of this group, but the consensus on his ability isn’t as strong as some of the other receivers taken in the second round. The running backs at this point are just too risky, while Moore has strong draft capital and should see playing time as soon as possible. With the second pick I went with the receiver I felt most comfortable with in Elijah Moore. I think he can be more than that, so he would be my first running back off the board here, as he was, but the upside isn’t the same as the top three. I like Michael Carter, but many are projecting him as strictly a third-down back. The running backs fall off while wide receiver projections are all over the board. The second round is pretty tough compared to the first. I had a fleeting hope that he would fall to me at 2.02. Javonte Williams was good value at pick 11, as I see him neck and neck with Etienne, while Waddle was nice to grab with the twelfth pick. But, Lawrence will also add some fantasy upside with his legs and will get multiple chances to prove himself due to his high draft capital. There is an argument to be made for Lance over Lawrence due to his ability as a rusher and I wouldn’t condemn anyone for reaching for that upside in a Kyle Shanahan run offense. If I was thinking longer term, going with Chase probably would have had better value. I ended up going with Harris, as my team is weakest at the running back position and I’d like to win a few games for once. So I ended up trading back to the fifth overall pick, as I knew quarterbacks would go early and that I would have a good shot at Harris, Pitts or Chase. Personally I have Patrick Mahomes and Russell Wilson and still had an early draft pick at No. Injuries and bye weeks can kill you in two quarterback leagues. Much depends on how strong your quarterbacks already are, but getting third quarterbacks with the future upside of Lawrence, Lance, and Fields is still worth an early pick. Since this is a superflex league, three of the Top 4 and five of the Top 10 picks were quarterbacks. For reference, this league is also full PPR scoring.īelow, I will review the first three rounds, giving you some insight into an “industry draft” as we like to call them to make ourselves sound more important than we are. It isn’t strictly a 2QB league, as you can substitute any offensive skill position for the superflex spot, but that would be suboptimal for your team and is only an emergency measure. Superflex refers to the ability to start two quarterbacks each week. The fine folks over at FantasyPros invited me and 11 other fantasy writers to join a superflex dynasty league a few years back.
