Jackson had a high floor last season thanks to his rushing ability, but he only finished as a top-five quarterback twice. He is the stand-alone WR1 at this point and an extremely safe selection if you don’t want to risk drafting Lamar Jackson instead. Last season, no quarterback had more top-12 weeks than Murray, who finished with 11 in 16 games.įrom there, the remaining top running back options will fill the middle of the first round until someone rolls the dice on Dak Prescott, who led the NFL with 27.7 fantasy points per game and had three top-five weeks before ultimately getting injured in Week 5.ĭak will be back ? /lgkyOmdRRiĭavante Adams has regained ground in terms of average draft position (ADP) after the Aaron Rodgers saga came to a conclusion a few weeks ago.

However, superflex vastly changes this due to the scarcity induced by upping the number of starters in a league from 12 to roughly 24 quarterbacks.
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. There is growing interest in the fantasy community for superflex leagues.
