It's debatable that I could/should have waited on my second QB, and instead taken D'Andre Swift instead, as Chris Harris ( HarrisFootball) did later in the round.Ħ.8 Diontae Johnson - I'm not that concerned about Johnson's drops last season. Getting a second QB there comes at a cost, however, as I pushed back my second RB slot. Nonetheless, I felt lucky to get him there given the run on QBs. In both this league and my Scott Fish Bowl League, it was the wide receivers that gave, as Metcalf and Brown were the fourth and 10th receivers respectively in this draft.ĥ.5 Trevor Lawrence - Lawrence to me was the last of his tier of quarterbacks, though one might argue that Trey Lance now belongs there. ![]() ![]() Of course, something always has to give in Superflex leagues. Brown - Typically I hope to get just one of these two wideouts, to get both sent me over the moon. The Chargers upgraded their offensive line in a big way this offseason, and Herbert is the one that will benefit from that.ģ.5 DK Metcalf, 4.8 A.J. Herbert is firmly in the top tier for me, ahead of Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson, and maybe even ahead of Dak Prescott. It was a gamble to see whether I'd get the QB that I want in the second round.Ģ.8 Justin Herbert - As far as I'm concerned, the gamble was rewarded. I opted for Zeke over Alvin Kamara because it's only a. I've seen other Superflex leagues where three QBs go in the top five picks, so I was hoping that maybe Dalvin Cook would fall to five.

I drafted from the fifth spot in a standard snake draft format. 5 PPR league with a Superflex spot, three receivers, and an additional flex spot. That's why the FLEX (Fantasy League of Experts) Superflex draft was my first choice among the available formats being rolled out by Jake Ciely from The Athletic. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy using the wait-on-the-quarterbacks strategy in most common draft formats, but it's refreshing to play in a Superflex leagues where one can (and usually must) start two QBs. Playing in Superflex leagues addresses that, and the connected draft values for the elite quarterbacks in the league. The Cleveland Browns by most accounts are expected to be a very good team this year - it should follow that their starting quarterback is at least rostered, right? But Baker Mayfield goes undrafted in many if not most 10-team leagues, and even in some 12-team leagues. Doing so naturally devalues the position such that a quarter to a third of the league's starting QBs go undrafted, meanwhile we seek out third-string running backs and fourth/fifth receivers to the deep ends of our rosters. I get that there's only one quarterback on the field at a given time for 99% of the plays in a game, but that doesn't mean that our 10-12 team leagues need only start one quarterback.
