It can be a weird adaptation to change your thinking about quarterback position, but it’s just something you need to prepare for.
Patrick Mahomes is universally recognized as the 1.1 in all superflex and two QB formats. High-rise backups, such as Teddy Bridgewater, Mac Jones, and Trey Lance will also be drafted, so you can imagine how that increases the value of bona fide studs. In leagues of 12 or more, not all teams will have even a spare quarterback behind their two starters, which is why our 2021 Top 200 rankings are so heavy for QB at the top. In all likelihood, those two QBs will also be placed on the roster. Suppose all members of your league start with two quarterbacks and design a reserve, which in 10-person leagues leaves only a total of two Week 1 holders not chosen. Superflex leagues allow you to use a quarterback in your flexible seat, so just like in the real NFL, QBs are much more important and the good ones seem even harder to find. The Superflex and Two-QB Championships are gaining popularity every year, and for good reason.
