Even if there is, that eligible quarterback may have a horrible matchup, he may be a first-time starter, or he may play for an awful team. You cannot assume, week-to-week, that you can grab a QB off the waiver wire because there may not be a starting QB available on the waiver wire. Given that all 32 QBs will be drafted, you cannot stream the position using the waiver wire.

In a one-QB league, drafting Will Levis would be a fool’s errand in a Superflex league, it’s a solid late-round gamble. That means savvy Superflex drafters will probably take a shot on the young gun. For example, the Titans will probably name Ryan Tannehill the Week 1 starter, but we all know that Will Levis wasn’t drafted to hold a clipboard all season. In fact, many backup quarterbacks will likely be drafted. Instead, you should assume that all 32 starting quarterbacks will be rostered from draft day to the fantasy playoffs. Unlike a single quarterback “standard” league, a replacement-level quarterback will not exist on the waiver wire. Canon 2: Always Strive to Roster Three Starting Quarterbacks Hopefully, you avoid these emergencies by following Canon #2.

You may have multiple injuries, or you might have two QBs on bye week at the same time, so you may need to pivot to a positional player, but these situations should be few and far between. The choice is clear – your Superflex roster spot should be filled by a second quarterback every week. So, you have a better than 50-50 chance of starting a top 50 fantasy point scorer in your Superflex position if you dedicate that spot to a QB. Or, consider it this way, in 2022, 28 of the top 50 players in ppg were QBs. Given these choices, the choice is pretty clear.

Instead, you’d actually be deciding between a QB and someone like A.J. These players would never be in consideration for a flex spot in your lineup. RB1s), the top 13 WRs (WR1s), and Travis Kelce (TE1). That list includes basically the top 13 RBs (i.e. In 2022, there were only 27 positional players who averaged more than 14.8 ppg, and these players are the best at their positions. He averaged 14.8 fantasy points per game (ppg) in a four-points-per-TD league. The logic is pretty simple here, but let me “show my work.” Consider 2022’s QB24 (among “regular starters”), Aaron Rodgers, who represented the “worst” startable QB in a 2-QB league.
