Gratefulegg1973 261 Posted September 2, 2023 Was asked to be in a super flex draft tomorrow. Can anyone with experience in these give a quick rundown? I'm assuming QBs will fly off the board in the first few rounds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 3,157 Posted September 2, 2023 Love superflex leagues. It’s a whole new strategy, yes qbs early and often, and you need do get three of them, first two early. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 740 Posted September 2, 2023 21 minutes ago, jrokh said: good thread to reference. bottom line is this: even the lowest rated fantasy QB's who hold a starting job should out produce your top WR and RB. so in a superflex format, it makes sense to flex start as many QB's as the rules allow. (and you likely want a solid backup too) so if you start 1 QB but have 2 flex positions where you can start anyone. you want to max that out with QB. to show my point, go check the top projections on QB and compare to RB even on the fftoday board. your elite QB get over 400 fantasy points per year. any QB in the top 20 is likely getting over 300 fantasy points your top RB are projected to get close to 250 fantasy points and your top WR less than that. so there is a 100 point fantasy point advantage if you can start a QB in each flex spot over any other position. This is why it plays out this way. thing is... you cant get to the flex without filling out your starter first. so a lot of teams will go QB-QB or at worst will grab 2 QB in the first 3 rounds. so if you start 1 QB 2 RB 2 WR 1 TE and 2 super flex spots you want at least 3 QB on your roster (4 is better) if you have only 1 superflex spot, you want at least 2 QB on your roster (but 3 is better) good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chickie 74 Posted September 2, 2023 I play in a Superflex auction. You need one of the top 9 as your #1 after that. If you’re picking late round one, they very well could all be gone. Then you’ll have to pivot to the Cousins’, Dark’s and G3no’s of the world as your #1. Third QB is usually a handcuff at that point. As a Tua owner, I made sure to grab Mike White as my #3 QB.

DrG 102 Posted September 3, 2023 Get as much arm talent as you can. You will find replacement wr 2s and rb 2s and 3s as the season goes on but you cannot replace a qb as easily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JagFan 149 Posted September 4, 2023 League size is a big deal as well. 12 teamer, plus bye weeks….do the math. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrG 102 Posted September 4, 2023 Uh in a super flex you do need do decent qbs along with an alternate as earlier posters noted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 740 Posted September 4, 2023 34 minutes ago, DrG said: Uh in a super flex you do need do decent qbs along with an alternate as earlier posters noted honestly its a know your league thing to some extent but the rules give a substantial benefit to those taking QB early and often. without knowing more about the specifics of your league its hard to be more specific. as mentioned: the QB demand in a 12 team league will by far be greater than it is for a 10 team league. this is because there is enough starting QB's for each team to roster 2 and a handful of teams to roster 3 (assuming the QB are equally distributed) but the bottom 3 or 4 starting QB may not finish the season as starters on their team. so in reality if equally distributed there are likely enough QB for everyone to have two reliable QB's and maybe one or two others will get a third QB. some of those bottom of the barrel 3rd QBs wont be projected to score more than your top RB and WR on the board, so you have to watch to see if there is still an advantage to you to pick one. after that there are only backups. so if you only superflex out 1 QB in a 10 team league there is wiggle room in terms of taking the early QBs. but not likely in a 12 team league unless you draft early and its a serpentine draft. in that scenario, you could probably get away with drafting a QB first round and then you can get the top RB or WR late in round 2 and then take another QB early in round 3. in a 12 team league I dont think you can get away with that.

Ray_T 740 Posted September 5, 2023 2 hours ago, gcmmidwest said: I listed them ??? sorry missed that. Rodgers/Wilson. might be ok. certainly not regarded as top Tier QB's this year, but they have said that about Rodgers before. I do think he comes back(he was on my all underrated list) . not so worried about this selection at all. (Nice pick) Wilson I'm a little less certain on. I do think there is a better than 50% chance he bounces back to have a good year. I bought in on Sutton in my auction draft 2 days ago with the thought that the coaching change would be good for that offense. but there is less certainty with that one than there is for Rodgers. Whether hes good enough to justify the strategy of waiting on a QB in a superflex league I cannot say. in your case I'd probably want a backup in case one of these guys didn't pan out. but at this point in the draft I dont know that there were many solid backup QB's available and I don't know that you would place a backup QB higher in priority compared to filling out other roster spots of starting players. I'd be interested in seeing what the rest of your roster looks like. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray_T 740 Posted September 5, 2023 not bad. pretty solid overall. in this format Tanehill as your third QB is a very good move. I did the same in my 2 QB keeper league. I got Tanehill as my third QB as well. its not a name that thrills people but hes solid and reasonably consistent and if either of your QB get hurt or are ineffective you have an option. and he has a nice upgrade in Hopkins at WR. should have a better season than he had last year. Well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
