SuperFlex leagues are all the rage in dynasty now. Even Best Ball leagues are now mostly SuperFlex. As someone who has played fantasy football since 1998, I was against SuperFlex or Two-QB leagues for a long time. It just didn’t feel right. Having played in many industry leagues over the last few years, including three years in the Scott Fish Bowl, the SuperFlex format has quickly become one of my favorite formats.
The quarterbacks are valued in the highest priority, much in the same way they are valued in the NFL. Rarely will you see the 1.01 in a SuperFlex league not be Patrick Mahomes, and let’s face it, if the NFL redrafted the entire league, Mahomes is probably the 1.01 there as well.
If you caught my One-QB PPR mock a few weeks ago, I went with an early wide receiver approach, opting for their long-term value. I took a slightly different approach in this draft; enjoy.

1.03 Kyler Murray (QB – ARI)
At the 1.03, it was a guarantee I was going to go quarterback. It was just a question of which one. After Mahomes went 1.01 (surprise!) and Christian McCaffery went 1.02, I had my pick of Josh Allen, Kyler Murray, and Lamar Jackson. I settled on Murray in what really amounted to a coin flip. Any of those three would have been a good pick.
2.10 D’Andre Swift (RB – DET)
I mentioned in the open that I went early on wide receivers in my last mock, so I decided to go running back early in this SuperFlex mock. I was trying to decide between him and Cam Akers at this pick and ended up using the Draft Wizards’ suggestion of Swift over Akers.
3.03 Cam Akers (RB – LAR)
The Draft Wizard’s suggestion was spot on at 2.10, as Akers was still there for the taking at 3.03. Now, with a young backfield and a ton of potential, I can start looking at some other positions. If Justin Herbert had fallen here, I would have drafted him over Akers, but he went at 3.01.
4.10 Baker Mayfield (QB – CLE)
After my Akers pick, there was a run on quarterbacks with Trevor Lawrence, Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Tannehill, and Jalen Hurts all coming off the board. I wanted to make sure I shored up my QB2 before I missed out, so Mayfield was the best of my options which were; Carson Wentz, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Fields, and Kirk Cousins. Mayfield showed signs in the second half last season that he might be one of the league’s top quarterbacks before long.
5.03 Keenan Allen (WR – LAC)
After taking Mayfield, I knew I was going to get my WR1 in the next round. I was hoping either Allen Robinson or Tee Higgins would fall to me, but both came off the board. I had to settle for Keenan Allen. I know everyone wants youth in a dynasty startup, and Allen is considered old by dynasty standards, but at 28, he still has at least three years of top-level production. He has been solid-to-elite year-in and year-out, and that will allow me to take some chances later in the draft.
6.10 Travis Etienne (RB)
After I took Allen, nine of the next 18 picks were all wide receivers, leaving the position pretty thin. However, I felt like I could still take Etienne here and grab a wide receiver I liked in the next round. I knew if I didn’t take Etienne here, he wasn’t going to make it back to me.
7.03 Chase Claypool (WR – PIT)
My gamble paid off as Claypool was sitting there at 7.03. He would have likely been my choice at 6.10 had I went wide receiver, so getting Etienne and Claypool played out perfectly.
8.10 Michael Pittman Jr. (WR – IND)
Rounding out my wide receivers is another young second-year receiver that has tremendous upside. Having Keenan Allen as my WR1 afforded me the luxury to take two young guys in Claypool and Pittman Jr.
9.03 A.J. Dillon (RB – GB)
Hindsight is 20/20. I did this mock pre-free agency, and Aaron Jones had not signed his deal yet. I do think Dillon still has value, but not ninth-round value. If I were to draft this pick again, I would have gone with another young wide receiver — either Jalen Reagor, Michael Gallup, or Jaylen Waddle.
10.10 Denzel Mims (WR – NYJ)
Continuing to stack young wide receivers, Mims was an easy choice at 10.10. Whether he has Justin Feilds, Zack Wilson, or Sam Darnold throwing him the ball, I expect a huge second-year leap from the talented receiver. Adam Gase is gone, and that alone makes me like Mims as a breakout candidate.
11.03 Sam Darnold (QB – NYJ)
I still believe Darnold is a starter in this league. He was never given a fair shot. Between Adam Gase, Mono, and a terrible supporting cast, he hasn’t been given a chance to really show what he is capable of. As My QB3 in a SuperFlex league in the 11th round, this is a tremendous value.
12.10 Irv Smith Jr. (TE – MIN)
I’ve largely ignored the tight end position so far in this draft, so getting my 10th ranked dynasty tight end in the 12th was a steal. Since his college days, I’ve been high on ISJ, and I think 2021 will be his breakout season.

13.03 Terrace Marshall Jr. (WR)
In the 13th round, it’s time to start taking some flyers on the young guys, rookies, and second-year players. Terrace Marshall played second and sometimes third fiddle to Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson at LSU, which limited his college production. However, he showed tons of upside and big-play ability and should have much better production in the Pros than he did in college.
14.10 Marvin Jones Jr. (WR – JAX)
Normally I’d be targeting the young players this late, but Jones was too good a value to pass up in the 14th round. Now with Jacksonville, he will be the elder statesmen in an offense that includes DJ Chark, Laviska Shenault, James Robinson, and presumably Trevor Lawrence. Jones won’t be an every-week starter, but if I need to start him, he is a solid as they come and a steal in the 14th round.
15.03 Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR)
Amon-Ra St. Brown has leaped frogged Terrace Marshall in rookie ADP on most sites I frequent, so getting him two rounds later than Marshall was an easy choice to make. He is another high-upside wide receiver that could be a solid WR2 in the NFL.
16.10 Cole Kmet (TE – CHI)
With Iv Smith Jr. as my TE1, I needed a backup, and Kmet was the best available. He has some decent upside for a young tight end. As long as Irv Smith Jr. works out, I can stash Kmet and wait for him to breakout.
17.03 Elijah Moore (WR)
Moore is another receiver that has been getting a ton of buzz of late and has been slowly climbing up draft boards. A smallish receiver that in the “old NFL” wouldn’t be a guy that most people would view as a good NFL prospect. However, with guys like Tyreek Hill, Antonio Brown, and to a lesser extent Hollywood Brown, guys like Moore have a place in the NFL.
18.10 Taylor Heinicke (QB – WAS)
I did this draft before the Football Team signed Ryan Fitzpatrick in free agency, but we all know that Fitzpatrick will go through some rough patches in the season and could be pulled at any moment. Heinicke played well in the playoffs last season against the eventual Super Bowl champions, and if he gets a shot this season, he could pay off nicely for an 18th round pick.
19.03 Tre’Quan Smith (WR – NO)
Assuming Jameis Winston wins the starting job, Smith could be the “Mike Evans” of this team — a deep threat that Winston will just chuck it too as only Winston can do. Sure, some of the throws may get picked off… but some of them won’t.
20.10 Collin Johnson (WR – JAX)
Hedging my bets here after taking Marvin Jones earlier in the draft, if anything were to happen to Jones, or if he hits the age cliff sooner than we expect, the 6-foot-6 Johnson is the next man up. It goes without saying that at his height, he is at minimum a red zone threat.
21.03 Jerick McKinnon (RB – FA)
McKinnon doesn’t even have a real-life team yet, but his skill-set could land him somewhere as a PPR third-down back. He showed some flashes last season with the 49ers that showed he still has some juice, so in the 21st round, why not?
22.10 Dyami Brown (WR)
Yet another rookie wide receiver for me in the 22nd. This is what I call the “Spray and Pray” draft strategy. If even one of these young wide receivers pans out into a usable starter, I’ll be happy.
23.03 Khalil Herbert (RB)
Truthfully, I don’t know much about Herbert as a prospect as I have yet to get to him in my film review, but I’ve seen some people on Twitter whose opinions I trust say he has a chance to be a solid player in this league. In the 23rd round, I’m throwing darts anyway. It might as be a dart with some “smarter-people-than-me” logic behind it.
24.10 Nico Collins (WR)
I’ve been grabbing Collins late in all of my mock and real drafts. I comp’ed him to the late Vincent Jackson, and while he’d be lucky to have a career as good as Jackson’s, in the 24th round, he is worth the shot.
