Fantasy Football Mock Draft: 2QB/Superflex Picks (2024)

It has been a long offseason, but to fill the time, we as a community get to explore multiple fantasy football mock drafts to see the construction of our future teams. Today, we will walk the mock draft road and explore a 2QB/Superflex build within a standard league. We decided to pick sixth in this league out of 12 teams. This league will start two quarterbacks, two running backs, three wide receivers, one Flex and one tight end.

In standard leagues, my approach always centers around targets. Even though you do not earn any fantasy points per catch, the more chances a player receives to produce for his real team- the higher the chance he produces for your fantasy team. Let’s break down this fantasy football mock draft and start with our first pick, who is one of the most electrifying players in the NFL today.

2024 2QB/Superflex Mock Draft

1.06 – Anthony Richardson (QB – IND)

Anthony Richardson is the perfect Konami Code quarterback. His ability to gain yards in the air and on the ground can help any team in any fantasy football format. In standard, those rushing yards elevate your team to a new level. It’s like drafting another running back in your starting lineup. The Colts offense loves to move fast, utilize the run-pass option (RPO) and cause nightmares for the defensive coordinator across the field. Anthony Richardson is a lock for a first pick within this setup.

2.07 – Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR – DET)

We spoke earlier about hyper-focusing on hyper-targeted wide receivers. No one is loved more by their quarterback than the Sun God Amon-Ra St. Brown. He was just paid like a WR1 and will continue to perform like one. Last year, he recorded 112 receptions; we can expect more of the same this year from the Sun God as he tries to mimic his 30% target share from 2023.

3.06 – Tua Tagovailoa (QB – MIA)

Tua Tagovailoa is always a bit risky. However, in the Dolphins’ fast-paced offense, with those weapons, we take the risk in 2QB/Superflex. He can struggle and go cold, but we also know Tagovailoa can throw four or five touchdowns in a game as long as Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill are running past their defenders.

4.07 – Marvin Harrison (WR – ARI)

I rarely like to lean on rookies so early in the draft. However, when your dad was a Hall of Famer and you are a stud wide receiver, you must be on my fantasy team. Marvin Harrison walks into the perfect situation where the Arizona Cardinals are dying for an outside receiver to take over and lead their team. We could see a target share along the line of Amon-Ra St. Brown in Arizona. You can’t pass that up.

5.06 – DK Metcalf (WR – SEA)

I always keep my eye on DK Metcalf, who is in a standard league for my team. He can score touchdowns and use his massive frame to his advantage. Last year, Metcalf averaged close to 17 yards per reception and had 37 receptions of over 20+ yards. In this league format, big plays will be the difference between a win or a loss. Take Metcalf and his fifth-most end-zone targets and go win a title.

6.07 – Joe Mixon (RB – HOU)

Regarding a standard league format, running backs are significant to your fantasy football team’s construction. You want a bell-cow back. You also want running backs in good offenses. This combination is the definition of the situation. We see this in Joe Mixon with his new team, the Houston Texans.

His counterpart Dameon Pierce was outplayed by Devin Singletary last season. Joe Mixon is a much more talented running back than Singletary ever was. Therefore, Pierce is no threat to Mixon being a three-down running back. The only thing that could slow Mixon down is an injury, which can happen to any player. If Mixon falls to you in a standard league, put him on your fantasy team.

7.06 – James Conner (RB – ARI)

Like Joe Mixon, I’m riding the situation in Arizona for James Conner. The next running back is Michael Carter, who was beat out by a slew of men in New York. Let’s be honest and realize James Conner has RB2 and workhorse written all over his 2024 production, regardless of age.

8.07 – George Pickens (WR – PIT)

Without Diontae Johnson in the picture, the Steelers must lean on George Pickens. Pickens can make impressive contested catches and Pittsburgh may need every ounce of that ability with Russell Wilson/Justin Fields under center.

9.06 – George Kittle (TE – SF)

George Kittle always has boom/bust potential. With rumors swirling around the departure of Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, Kittle will be necessary for the success of the San Francisco 49ers.

10.07 – Diontae Johnson (WR – CAR)

We return to the well with a hyper-targeted option on his respective team. Although the Carolina Panthers moved up in the draft to bring Xavier Legette to Carolina, Diontae Johnson will be the lead wide receiver for Bryce Young and see 130+ targets.

Rest of the Draft (Rounds 11-15)

11.06 – Antonio Gibson (RB – NE)
12.07 – Miles Sanders (RB – CAR)
13.06 – Derek Carr (QB – NO)
14.07 – Curtis Samuel (WR – BUF)
15.06 – Audric Estime (RB – Notre Dame)

These players are grouped for one reason. They are bench depth. The running backs either have a chance to be the lead back or could land in a solid situation to handle at least 40% of the carries. My bench in a standard league will always be full of running backs because the position and carries are significant in this format. As for Derek Carr and Curtis Samuel, we are looking for upside and hoping Carr can do enough to be an excellent third quarterback in a 2QB/Superflex league. Remember to draft a third quarterback in this format, or you will be left out in the cold watching the playoffs.
