2020 Fantasy Football Draft Prep: Superflex mock draft highlights question of when to get your quarterbacks

In our newest 12-team, Superflex mock draft, it was fascinating to see which Fantasy managers went after quarterbacks early, in addition to those who waited on the place. It’s the most important resolution you may have to make on this format since you can begin two quarterbacks.

Ben Gretch had the No. 2 general choice, and he was the primary particular person to draft two quarterbacks with Patrick Mahomes in Round 1 and Kyler Murray in Round 3. He drafted George Kittle within the second spherical, and he did not get his first working again till Round 4 with Jonathan Taylor. His first receiver was Stefon Diggs in Round 5.

Ben sacrificed some top-end working again and huge receiver expertise to get stars at quarterback and tight finish. And I just like the method he took in chasing working backs and huge receivers with high-upside guys. At working again, he has Taylor, Matt Breida, Zack Moss, Chase Edmonds, Boston Scott and LeSean McCoy. And his receivers may very well be nice with Diggs, Will Fuller, Marquise Brown, Christian Kirk, Diontae Johnson and Laviska Shenault.

It’s possible not the best roster in the event you like pre-draft standouts at working again and huge receiver in PPR, however this crew may very well be superior if just a few of these guys hit. It additionally helps having Mahomes, Murray and Kittle in the event that they keep wholesome all season.

Meron Berkson, alternatively, was the final Fantasy supervisor to draft a quarterback on this league. He went back-to-back with Matthew Stafford in Round 5 and Daniel Jones in Round 6, and he paired them with superb expertise chosen within the first 4 rounds.

From the No. 12 spot, Meron began his crew with Julio Jones, Austin Ekeler, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Calvin Ridley. By the time he drafted Stafford and Jones, there have been 11 quarterbacks off the board, together with 5 of them (Josh Allen, Matt Ryan, Carson Wentz, Drew Brees and Tom Brady) going simply earlier than Stafford within the fifth spherical.

I like what Meron did to get one standout working again and three high quality receivers earlier than specializing in quarterbacks. He crammed out his working again corps with David Montgomery, Derrius Guice, J.Ok. Dobbins and A.J. Dillon, and he added CeeDee Lamb, John Brown and Emmanuel Sanders to his receivers. Darren Waller and Mike Gesicki are his tight ends, and it is a high quality roster.

I drafted an identical crew to Meron, and he sniped me twice on Dobbins in Round 10 and Gesicki in Round 15. Brady was the primary quarterback I drafted in Round 5, and I took two different quarterbacks with Gardner Minshew in Round 7 and Drew Lock in Round 9.

I considered drafting Ben Roethlisberger, Jared Goff or Cam Newton in Round 6, however I opted for D.J. Chark as an alternative as a second receiver. How Minshew does will possible decide if I made the correct alternative, and it is ironic that I’ll be relying on Chark to make that occur as properly. Go, Jaguars.

My first 4 picks from the No. 11 spot had been Miles Sanders, Kenyan Drake, James Conner and Allen Robinson. I like the posh of having three nice working backs, and Robinson is a top-10 PPR receiver coming into the 12 months.

If Minshew or Lock are serviceable at Superflex then this crew must be aggressive. I’ve Raheem Mostert and Damien Harris as backup working backs, and my different receivers behind Robinson and Chark are Sterling Shepard, Mecole Hardman, Preston Williams and Brandon Aiyuk. And when I missed on Gesicki, I went with Noah Fant at tight finish. 

While I just like the method Ben took in constructing his roster, I choose the development of my crew and Meron’s by ready on a quarterback, even on this Superflex league. But take a look at all of these groups within the outcomes under, and possibly there is a completely different method that works higher for you.

In this league, all touchdowns are value six factors, and we award one level for each 10 yards speeding and receiving and one level for each 25 yards passing. We additionally award one level for each reception. We characteristic a beginning lineup of QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE, FLEX (RB/WR/TE), SUPERFLEX (QB/RB/WR/TE), Ok and DST.
