Superflex 2026: The QBs Who Barely Move Are Your Real Edge

Everyone talks about how far quarterbacks climb in superflex. The sharper read is which ones barely move at all. When a passer's superflex ADP sits close to his standard cost, the market is telling you the position around him is thin, and that stability is a signal, not a shrug. This piece leads with the QBs who hold their ground and the pockets they create.

The names that don't move

Josh Allen goes 3.09 in standard PPR and 1.02 in superflex. That's the expected leap. What matters is the cluster right behind him that jumps even harder relative to their standard price. Lamar Jackson is 5.09 in PPR and 1.09 in superflex. Joe Burrow runs 5.08 to 1.10. Those are three-plus-round elevations, and they define the ceiling of the room.

• ▸Josh Allen: 3.09 standard, 1.02 superflex
• ▸Lamar Jackson: 5.09 standard, 1.09 superflex
• ▸Joe Burrow: 5.08 standard, 1.10 superflex
• ▸Drake Maye: 5.04 standard, 1.08 superflex

Maye is the loudest jump on the board, moving from a fifth-round standard price to a first-round superflex tag. That's a rookie-adjacent arm being priced like a proven anchor. The gap tells you the room is scared of ending up QB-light, and that fear inflates the top far more than the middle.

Where the mid-tier bunches up

Round 3 of superflex is a QB traffic jam. Patrick Mahomes (9.08 standard) lands at 3.01, Jared Goff (9.06) at 3.01, and Justin Herbert (9.09) at 3.01. Three passers who fall to Round 9 in standard leagues all cluster inside the first three picks of Round 3 in superflex. That's a full six-round swing driven purely by format.

• ▸Patrick Mahomes: 9.08 standard, 3.01 superflex
• ▸Jared Goff: 9.06 standard, 3.01 superflex
• ▸Justin Herbert: 9.09 standard, 3.01 superflex
• ▸Bo Nix: 10.04 standard, 3.06 superflex

Bo Nix makes the biggest jump of that group, climbing from a tenth-round standard cost to 3.06. If you miss the top tier, this is the shelf where you're still buying a locked-in weekly starter without paying first-round capital. The passers here move the most against their standard price, which is exactly where format-driven value lives.

The Round 4 and 5 stragglers

Baker Mayfield falls to 4.07 in superflex despite an 11.10 standard cost, and Tyler Shough goes 5.02 with no top-140 standard ADP at all. Kyler Murray at 5.04 rounds out a group of starters you can grab after building your skill positions. In a format where 14-plus QBs go early, these are the arms that let you play the room instead of chasing it.

• ▸Baker Mayfield: 11.10 standard, 4.07 superflex
• ▸Tyler Shough: undrafted standard, 5.02 superflex
• ▸Kyler Murray: undrafted top-140 standard, 5.04 superflex
• ▸Jaxson Dart: 10.11 standard, 3.08 superflex

The QBs whose superflex price sits closest to their standard cost are the ones the format hasn't figured out yet, and that lag is your window.

The trap is treating every superflex QB jump as a mandate to reach. It isn't. The board rewards patience at the position because the mid-tier is deep enough that waiting one round rarely costs you a starter. Read the gaps between standard and superflex ADP and target the passers whose leap is smallest relative to their standard price, because that's where the market is slow.

Build your skill spine early, then attack the Round 3 through 5 QB shelf with intent. Mahomes, Goff, Nix and Mayfield all give you starter-grade production at a discount to the panic buys ahead of them. Let the room overpay for the top four arms and cash the value they leave behind.
