Superflex Auction Values 2026 — QB Pricing Guide

What is Superflex

Superflex leagues add a flex spot that can be filled with a QB, RB, WR, or TE. Because QBs score the most points of any position, virtually every team starts two QBs in their Superflex slot. That doubles the QB demand without adding any new QBs to the player pool — and auction values explode at the position.

The QB premium, in dollars

In a 12-team 1QB Half PPR league with a $200 budget, the elite QB1s usually go for $14–$22. Drop those same players into a 12-team Superflex Half PPR league with the same budget and you'll see them go for $42–$65. That's roughly a 2.5–3x premium.

The reason is points above replacement. In 1QB the QB12 is "good enough." In Superflex, the QB24 is your second starter — and the gap from the QB12 to the QB24 is enormous, especially without rushing yards.

Superflex QB tiers

QB tiers in Superflex look something like this (subject to change in any given season):

• Tier 1 (Mobile elite) — $48–$65. Allen, Hurts, Jackson, Daniels.
• Tier 2 (High-floor pocket elite) — $36–$48. Mahomes, Burrow, Herbert, Stroud.
• Tier 3 (Stable starters) — $20–$34. Goff, Love, Tagovailoa, Mayfield.
• Tier 4 (Volatile starters) — $10–$18. Most rookies, mid-tier veterans.
• Tier 5 (Backup-tier QB1 hopes) — $1–$6. Stack with a true starter as insurance.

Sample 12-team Superflex prices

Here's a sample budget allocation for a 12-team Superflex Half PPR league with a $200 budget:

• QB1 (Tier 1 mobile elite): $54
• QB2 (Tier 3 stable starter): $24
• RB1 (top-six back): $48
• WR1 (top-eight receiver): $36
• WR2/RB2 ($16–$20 range each): $36
• Mid bench, TE, DST, K, $1 dart throws: $2 remaining for $1 endgame slots

That allocation is heavy on QBs and light on RB depth, which is the whole point of Superflex auction strategy:your QB advantage compounds across two roster slots.

Budget allocation in Superflex

A common mistake is to use 1QB budget allocation in a Superflex room — spending $30 on QBs and trying to outbid for a top RB and top WR. That works exactly twice, after which the room realizes Superflex QBs are expensive and prices reset. Plan for 35–45% of your budget at QB before the draft begins.

Can you punt QB in Superflex?

Almost never. Punting QB in Superflex usually means trying to win with two QB3-level starters, which gives up 80–120 points across the season. You can sometimes "double-punt and pivot" — load up on RB and WR, plan to stream both QB slots — but it requires aggressive in-season waiver activity and a deeper-than-usual bench. Most managers should target one Tier 1 or Tier 2 QB plus one Tier 3.

Superflex dynasty considerations

In Superflex dynasty, QB values get even more aggressive. Quarterbacks have the longest careers of any fantasy-relevant position, so a 25-year-old elite QB is a 7–10 year asset. See the dynasty auction values guide for how to weight QB age curves and contract windows.
