Well, we can look back to the chart in the prior section for guidance here. Salaries could be boosted by only 10% or less in most instances, based on the first week of data. Quarterbacks are the most consistent and easiest-to-predict position in fantasy football.Īnd, of course, keep in mind that we've added 20% to the weekly salary for all quarterbacks for this chart. A $5,000 running back needs only 20, by comparison.īut in cash games, you should be opting to roll out a second quarterback in basically every circumstance because of the likelihood that they produce at least 3.0 FanDuel points per $1,000. The gap gets narrower when we look at four-times value (4.0 FanDuel points per $1,000 in salary) because an $8,000 passer would need 32 FanDuel points to hit that mark. Create a league and customize league size, scoring and rules to play in the league you want to play in.

Check out these results over these three seasons in terms of fantasy points per $1,000 when looking at roughly 1,500 total games for each position (sorted by projected FanDuel points to help eradicate outliers and injuries).Įven with that likely over-aggressive multiplier of salary for quarterbacks, they've reached each value threshold better than any other position. That's probably aggressive, but it still doesn't even matter. We'll dig into past results, over three seasons from 2014 through 2016, and give all quarterbacks a 20% boost in salary from what their FanDuel price actually was in a given week. We can probably use that as the baseline: a max of 15% in salary bump. Bryce Petty, who is also taking over as a starter, is up 15% in pricing, and so is Tom Brady, who is just priced up as a result of the new format. The biggest boost is a 20% increase in pricing (for Nick Foles, who is sliding into a starting job). In the grand scheme of pricing, that's a small change. In the first week of the new format, quarterbacks are priced anywhere between $100 to $1,300 more in the superflex contests than in regular contests. But just know that pricing is a bit different when joining superflex contests - but only for quarterbacks. The most obvious way to attack the superflex is to roster a second quarterback, for reasons we'll detail in a second. So, what should you do with that superflex? Filling the Superflex This gives us the chance to roster up to two quarterbacks, three tight ends, or four running backs or wide receivers. In the other, you can go with a running back, wide receiver, or tight end. In one of them, you have the ability to roster a quarterback, running back, wide receiver, or tight end.

The superflex setup eradicates one wide receiver slot, as well as kickers and defenses, from the player pool and gives you two different flex slots. What's that? 'One' of your flex spots? Yup. Superflex, for FanDuel's purposes, means that you can roster a second quarterback at one of your flex spots. What exactly does that mean? I'm glad you asked. (How many of your season-long teams still do snake drafts instead of auctions? How many of your leagues are just head-to-head formats with the same old scoring rules you had 10 years ago?)įanDuel is changing that for us by introducing the superflex to DFS. When it comes to fantasy sports, change doesn't always happen quickly. But hopefully, the combination of Juwan Johnson and Chigoziem Okonkwo could turn into one above average tight end, and then this roster should be solid in this league.You know what they say: variety is the spice of life.

I punted on tight end, but that's OK given the rest of my team. I have a lot of upside if Walker and Hall are healthy and play like they did as rookies, although I'm skeptical, and one of Smith-Njigba, Burks or Toney proves to be a reliable No.

The rest of my roster features Kenneth Walker III, Breece Hall, Antonio Gibson and Ty Chandler at running back, along with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Treylon Burks and Kadarius Toney at receiver. I would have been scrambling for a third quarterback, which was something I wanted to avoid. Stroud getting picked in Round 7 before my next pick. After he came off the board then Derek Carr, Matthew Staffod, Ryan Tannehill and Kyler Murray were all drafted in Round 6, followed by Brock Purdy, Bryce Young and C.J. I wasn't planning to draft Love so soon, but I'm glad that I did. Dobbins, who I drafted in Round 5, and then I selected my third quarterback in Jordan Love. So, on average, be prepared for a 2-to-7 round jump in quarterback ADP when comparing 1-QB to SuperFlex formats.
