QB or not QB, part 3: After all the talk about fading superflex QBs it is time to walk the walk

In the summer I set up two FFPC Rotoviz Triflex Startup teams with partners, with the intention of fading QB and then writing about the results here -a continuation of how some of my established teams have successfully done this, as well as how I have implemented the same strategy in Superflex Rookie concepts.

So of course it is completely logical that the teams, respectively, pulled the 1.01 and 1.02 picks without the effort to trade in, with which we guarantee that we were locked up in the preparation of one of the two most valuable players in Dynasty Superflex Fantasy Football – which are, coincidentally Quarterbacks.

With the start of the regular season just a few hours away, the starting season of the dynasty is over, so this will be an overview of important points, instead of a pick-by-pick analysis (which is frankly probably boring).

The setup

The starting point of this series is that the QB position in SuperFlex is overvalued. The starting line -ups from Triflex require one QB, two running backs, three receivers and a tight end, with three flex spots, including one that makes a second starting QB possible. The vast majority of teams start a QB in the SuperFlex, so during startup it is often a race to fill those two QB spots with solid, long-term starters.

In Startup concepts from 2025 and the previous three years, around 20 QBs were selected in the first 60 picks, which easily surpassed RBs in the same wingspan and, apart from 2024, generally the same amount of WRs taken in the first five rounds. Here is the ADP Conceppet Train for the first five rounds of 2025 Triflex startups:

Yes, QBS scores more points, which often makes them more desirable in the SuperFlex. That of course means that they cost more. Moreover, QB’s are already scarce, and that is too old, too long, who have too heavy an attitude on their runway or who are too inexperienced to land the QB1 title of their team.

For more than a decade, Rotoviz has urged Fantasy participants to ‘win the Flex’, which Shawn Siegele first wrote about in 2013:

In fact, the Flex position is perhaps the most important position in fantasy because it is one of the easiest positions to generate more value about average than your opponents. Whichever strategy fits your specific competition format, which strategy must be based on placing an elite player in the flex position.

In 2019, Blair Andrews designed an app for that goal. Admittedly, in trying to illustrate my point, this is not a comparison with apples-to-apples. Firstly, the app from Best Ball Redraft ADP, not from the dynasty. So, so, Justin Fields is much more desirable in Redraft than Dynasty, while, the other way around, Cam -district Rather goes in Dynasty concepts than revoke. Secondly, when a flex position is only limited to RBS, WRS and TES, it is quite clear that recipients are the best option, but when it is expanded with QBs, it is more difficult.
