The Superflex format continues to rise in popularity, and with it goes the demand for quarterbacks on each fantasy manager’s roster.
There are various ways to address the position, but often the easiest way is through the startup draft and rookie drafts. Quality options at the quarterback position are rarely, if ever, available on the trade market for less than what it will cost to acquire them during a startup draft.
While you should expect the top options to fly off the draft board at a breakneck pace, that doesn’t mean solid options won’t be available to you later in the draft if you opt to address other positions earlier. Today we’ll be diving into some of those later-round options you should be looking to target in your Superflex drafts to shore up the quarterback position on your roster.

Later-Round QBs to Target in Superflex Leagues (2023 Fantasy Football)

Sam Howell (QB – WAS) and Jacoby Brissett (QB – WAS)
The Washington Commanders quarterback room is one of the more interesting ones for fantasy purposes. Both Sam Howell and Jacoby Brissett are coming off the board fairly close to one another, with Howell being selected as the QB32 (108.50 overall) and Brissett as the QB36 (194.24 overall).
The long-term upside lies with Howell. The team figures to give him ample opportunity to stake his claim to the starting quarterback job. He only started one game in 2022 but flashed some of the upside we saw on his college tape at North Carolina. He threw for one touchdown but also chipped in a rushing score. He has underrated dual-threat ability, and if he can put it all together could be a steal at his current ADP.
Brissett will be lurking in the background, and if Howell falters, we know Brissett can return some decent fantasy value. He won’t ever be the most exciting option, but he filled in admirably for the Browns while Deshaun Watson was suspended. Both players are worth the risk at their current price tag, but I lean towards selecting Howell and hoping he pans out long-term.
