Who wins your superflex trade?

Why quarterbacks change everything in superflex

In a one-quarterback league, 12 quarterbacks start each week. There are 32 NFL starters, so the 15th-best passer is still a fine option, and you can often find a decent one on waivers. That keeps quarterback values low.

Superflex adds one lineup spot that can hold a quarterback, running back, receiver or tight end. Quarterbacks score the most, so nearly every team starts two. Now 24 quarterbacks start each week out of 32, and the drop from a starter to the best available backup is huge. Value follows that drop.

The calculator handles this directly. For redraft values we fill every lineup in a 12-team league, superflex spot included, with the highest projected scorers, and measure each player against a replacement level: one bench player for every three starters at his position. In superflex that puts the quarterback baseline at the 32nd quarterback, the last of the weekly starters. For dynasty values we use Sleeper's superflex dynasty drafts, where managers already pay a premium for passers.

One quarterback vs superflex values

Here is what the switch does to this week's values. The table compares the same quarterbacks in redraft PPR leagues, updated October 13, 2026.

Two things stand out. Every starting quarterback gains, and the ones further down the list gain the most relative to where they started. In one-quarterback leagues those players are close to replaceable. In superflex they are the difference between starting a passer and starting a third receiver.

How to trade in superflex

• Never start a non-quarterback in the superflex spot if you can help it. A backup-level quarterback usually outscores a flex-level receiver. If you have only one quarterback, fixing that is your first trade.
• Buy quarterbacks before the injuries come. Prices rise every time a starter goes down, and they go down every season.
• Pay attention to bye weeks. Two quarterbacks on the same bye can cost you a week. A third quarterback is worth more in superflex than a third tight end ever is.
• Do not overpay for elite running backs. In superflex, the best running backs are still very valuable, but their value relative to quarterbacks is lower than in one-quarterback leagues.

2QB leagues

In a 2QB league the second spot must be a quarterback. That makes passers slightly more valuable again, since a team cannot fall back on a receiver. The values here are a close fit, just treat quarterbacks as a little more valuable than shown.
