2020 Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Superflex brings more balance to the chase for quarterbacks

It was fun to do a Superflex mock draft just a few hours after we held a two-quarterback draft on Tuesday. You got to see the difference in how Fantasy managers -- many of whom did both drafts -- approached the two different formats.

For example, in the two-quarterback league, three quarterbacks were selected in Round 1, seven through Round 2 and 16 through Round 4. In total, 41 quarterbacks were drafted.

Here, in the Superflex league, the start of the draft was similar with three quarterbacks gone through Round 1, six through Round 2 and 15 through Round 4. But only 33 quarterbacks in total were drafted in this format because the need for a third or fourth quarterback isn't the same.

If you're new to Superflex leagues, the concept is you can play a second quarterback in a flex spot. Since we score six points for passing touchdowns, it makes sense to essentially treat this like a two-quarterback format.

We had Adam Rank of the NFL Network join us for this mock draft, which we held on Twitch. And one of our Twitch subscribers, Brent Curtis, was also part of this draft. Let's see how their teams turned out.

Adam had the No. 3 overall pick and drafted Lamar Jackson as the No. 2 quarterback off the board behind Patrick Mahomes. His second quarterback is Ryan Tannehill, who he drafted in Round 9, and he doesn't have a third one.

At running back, Adam has Derrick Henry, Cam Akers, Tevin Coleman and Phillip Lindsay. His wide receivers are Calvin Ridley, Terry McLaurin, Will Fuller, Diontae Johnson, Breshad Perriman, Curtis Samuel, Justin Jefferson and Hunter Renfrow. And he has Travis Kelce at tight end.

The strength of Adam's team is Jackson, Kelce, Henry, Ridley and McLaurin, but Fuller, Johnson and Akers all have the chance to be special, with Tannehill a quality Superflex. I don't like that Adam has only two quarterbacks, but he should get by and be competitive with this roster.

Brent picked after Adam at No. 4 overall, and he loaded up on running backs with Saquon Barkley, Kenyan Drake, Le'Veon Bell and Chris Carson with his first four picks. He also has Chase Edmonds and Benny Snell on his bench.

At receiver, Brent has Keenan Allen, A.J. Green, Marquise Brown, Anthony Miller and Laviska Shenault. Jared Cook is his tight end.

Quarterback is the weak spot for Brent with only two guys in Joe Burrow and Teddy Bridgewater. He got Burrow in Round 8 and Bridgewater in Round 9, and he doesn't have a third quarterback.

Brent has the option of playing his top four running backs and not using a quarterback at Superflex, but that could be a mistake. What I would have done with Brent's team is drafted someone like Jared Goff in Round 4 instead of Carson, and that would have given him a slightly stronger team.

However, if Burrow and Bridgewater are both above average, Brent could have the best team in this league. It will be fun to see how it all turns out.

For my team, I drafted three quarterbacks: Russell Wilson (Round 2), Ben Roethlisberger (Round 5) and Sam Darnold (Round 10). I want to have at least three quarterbacks in this format, and hopefully Darnold only plays as a bye-week replacement.

My running backs are Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Aaron Jones, Devin Singletary, Tarik Cohen, Alexander Mattison and Damien Harris. My receivers are Allen Robinson, D.J. Chark, Tyler Boyd, Deebo Samuel and DeSean Jackson. And Chris Herndon is my tight end.

It's a balanced roster with solid options at quarterback, running back and receiver, and I like my sleepers in Mattison, Harris and Jackson. Samuel could be a steal if he's ready for Week 1 despite a foot injury, and Herndon is also a sleeper. I plan to draft him late in every league, and he has the potential to be a top 10 Fantasy tight end this year.

In this league, all touchdowns are worth six points, and we award one point for every 10 yards rushing and receiving and one point for every 25 yards passing. We also award one point for every reception. We feature a starting lineup of QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE, FLEX (RB/WR/TE), SUPERFLEX (QB/RB/WR/TE), K and DST. There also are six reserve spots for a 17-round draft.
