The Ultimate 2026 Superflex PPR Mock Draft: QB Runs, Zero RB & Best Values (Ep. 2108)

AI Summary

5 min read

In a 12-team superflex PPR mock draft, eight quarterbacks went in the first round. That pushed elite skill players like Jahmyr Gibbs (10th overall), Christian McCaffrey (2.04), and Amon-Ra St. Brown (2.02) into value territory. The four analysts drafting—Ryan Wormley, Scott Bogman, Pat Fitzmaurice, and Andrew Erickson—tested different strategies from the middle and ends of the draft, and the post-draft analysis revealed a clear lesson: if you feel like you are reaching for a quarterback in superflex, you probably are.

The Quarterback Run and Its Consequences

The draft opened with a predictable run: Josh Allen (1.01), Drake Maye (1.02), Lamar Jackson (1.03), Jalen Hurts (1.04), Justin Herbert (1.05), C.J. Stroud (1.06), Kyler Murray (1.07), and Jayden Daniels (1.09). By the end of the first round, eight of the first nine picks were quarterbacks. This compressed the board for every other position. Fitz, picking at the 1.06 turn, was the only drafter in the top half to pass on quarterback, taking Bijan Robinson at 1.06 and Justin Jefferson at 2.07. He then grabbed Jackson Dart and Kyler Murray in rounds three and four, securing a dual-running quarterback stack with Jefferson. This approach let him load up on elite non-QB talent while still landing two top-12 quarterbacks later.

Show Notes

How should you approach a 2026 fantasy football Superflex league? The Fantasy Pros crew puts that question to the test with a full redraft Superflex PPR mock draft featuring Ryan Wormeli, Scott Bogman, Pat Fitzmaurice, and Andrew Erickson.

The mock features three starting wide receivers, seven bench spots, no kickers or defenses, and a Superflex lineup, creating a fascinating battle between early quarterback strategy, zero RB builds, elite tight ends, and waiting on positional value.

One of the biggest storylines is the quarterback rush: eight QBs go in the first round, forcing the analysts to adapt on the fly and raising a major 2026 fantasy football question: should you aggressively draft quarterbacks in Superflex, or let your league mates chase the position while you scoop up elite skill-position talent?
