What Could Have Been?Įverything is easier with the gift of hindsight, and this seems to always be the case looking back at fantasy drafts. He's 26, but with Taylor and Cook as my top running backs, I have a legitimate shot at two top-five players at the position and feel good through four rounds.
So, as a result, I went back to running back, selecting Dalvin Cook. I didn't love the wide receivers that were available at the top of the board with my pick in Round 4. Had I not taken Watson in Round 2, I would've gone in another direction here.
Justin Fields and Tua Tagovailoa were options, but I felt like there was just way too much uncertainty with both of them. Rodgers will turn 39 in-season, and as much as I don't like taking an older QB this early, he did just sign an extension with the Packers, and he is under contract until 2026, so I feel a little better knowing that. With the uncertainty surrounding Watson and his availability in 2022, I needed to ensure I had a top-tier starting quarterback at the beginning of the season. This pick was my first reaction to selecting Watson in Round 2. In Round 3, I double-dipped at quarterback, selecting Aaron Rodgers.
I think Stafford might have been a better pick as things played out in the later rounds. Other options I had considered here: Trevor Lawrence, Matthew Stafford, and Jalen Hurts. As you'll see later, I ended up regretting this decision, and it impacted multiple selections I made as we got deeper into the draft. I rolled the dice on the Browns' Deshaun Watson. In the second round, with eight quarterbacks gone, I figured I should get my hands on someone with high-end QB1 upside. I briefly thought of taking Ja'Marr Chase, but due to positional scarcity at running back, Taylor was screaming out to me here in the first. With the seven picks ahead of me and seven quarterbacks taken, I stuck to my strategy coming in, and I avoided quarterback, selecting Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. I find that there are always values to be found later in drafts, so I will typically zig while everyone else zags. With those parameters in place, let the drafting begin! Rounds 1-4Īs you'll often find in superflex drafts, the quarterbacks started flying off the board early and often. Regarding the setup this time, I went with what I think to be the most common league settings a 12-team league, a 20-round draft, with superflex rosters with point-per-reception (PPR) and tight end premium (TEP) scoring. Then, I'll give you a breakdown of each of my picks and walk you through my thought process on each selection. In this second installment of this series, I will run a start-up mock draft. Recently, as an introduction for fantasy owners who haven't dipped their toes in dynasty leagues before, I completed a rookie mock draft for using DLF's new Mock Draft Simulator.

Because quarterbacks have big upside every week to score fantasy points, usually more than skill position players, quarterbacks become incredibly valuable in superflex drafts and are ranked much higher / targeting much earlier than other more traditional fantasy football drafts. For those who are not familiar with fantasy football superflex rankings, this increasingly popular format is essentially a 2QB league where fantasy managers can start a 2nd quarterback in their flex spot. Welcome back RotoBallers! Below you will find our staff's updated 2021 fantasy football superflex rankings (top 330) for two-QB formats.
