2QB (Superflex) Draft Strategy 2024
2-QB leagues are a great way to spice things up in the fantasy world, but many have not yet tried this type of league. One thing for sure is that the QBs get drafted way higher than in any other league type, so you have to be prepared and ready to grab 2-3 QBs in the first half of the draft.
As you can see from our ADP, quarterbacks are taken immediately, unlike your traditional PPR/Standard leagues. It's worth taking some time to mock draft, especially if 2-QB is new to you.
Here is the completed draft for viewing.
Let's dive into some strategies for drafting in a 2-QB league. I took the 12th spot to change things up a bit.
First Two Rounds - Take at Least One Quarterback
Drafting, in turn, provides a unique opportunity for 2-QB leagues. I can either grab two good Quarterbacks or go for some of the RB/WRs that made it to me. Bijan Robinson, who usually goes top five, fell to me at the turn. I also could have nabbed Justin Jefferson or Jonathan Taylor here.
That said, if I went RB/WR, I would be left with Deshaun Watson or Kirk Cousins as my QB1 (who was left by my third-round pick). That means you probably need to take a quarterback in the first two rounds to ensure you have at least one solid quarterback.
When to Grab the Rest of Your Quarterbacks
Maybe this isn't the strategy you'd use, but I decided to wait to grab my second quarterback once my target, Jayden Daniels, was taken.
Plenty of starters remain until about Round 10, although the options get worse and worse as it goes on. Trevor Lawrence seemed like a decent shot as my QB2, and I figured I'd snag a backup later.
That said, I did not draft a third QB because I ran out of starting options. It's silly to draft a backup QB (NFL backup I mean), so might as well wait until you absolutely need a replacement to grab one off waivers (after injury or being replaced).
Just remember that the NFL has 32 starting quarterbacks, so if you are playing in a 2-QB league with 12 people, you will run out of starters.
Middle Rounds - Best Available WR/RBs
With so many Quarterbacks going in the first four rounds, a plethora of good Wide Receivers and Running Backs remain in rounds four through eight.
Since I had already grabbed two good Running Backs in the first three rounds, I focused on adding Wide Receivers.
Long story short, Use the middle rounds to grab enough RBs and WRs to round out your roster. You don't want to be left starting backups or players on bad teams.
Tight End - Wait till Late
It seems like the TE position gets worse each year for fantasy, making it difficult to spend the draft capital on the top options. Travis Kelce just didn't seem as dominant, George Kittle is often injured and also slowing down, and even Mark Andrews has suffered a lot of injuries recently.
Who does that leave us with? Sam LaPorta I guess, who could regress after a stellar rookie season (which doesn't happen often with rookie TEs).
With quarterbacks prioritized, you can wait a little longer and still draft a startable TE. I like Jake Ferguson for those reasons.
Double Digit Rounds - Round out the Roster with Sleepers
Once again, the 2-QB leagues will leave more options at WR/RB in later rounds, so you probably won't waste draft picks on handcuffs.
Instead, use these rounds to grab rookie Wide Receivers and Running Backs who can see the field. You can also grab guys like Tee Higgins, who slipped to the 11th round in my mock draft. There are also guys like Tyler Allgeier who is rumored to be still splitting the backfield rather evenly and could have some fantasy value.
Filling the roster with sleepers/gems will allow you to supplement your solid Quarterbacks with potential league-winners at low cost.
