Superflex Dynasty Startup Mock Draft
You can find the full results of my latest superflex dynasty startup mock draft here. Below we dive into a few of the notable picks and the reasoning behind the selection.
Round 3, Pick 2 – Christian McCaffrey (RB – SF)
There isn’t a better running back in the NFL than McCaffrey. The only reason why the superstar slipped into the third round of this mock draft is because of his age. He turns 28 in June but has been the clear-cut top running back since joining the 49ers, averaging 22.3 fantasy points per game in 26 career contests with the team. Since my goal is to win right away, McCaffrey is a value at the top of the third round.
Round 6, Pick 9 – Tee Higgins (WR – CIN)
It seems unlikely Higgins will get moved this offseason despite asking the Bengals for a trade. Yet, the veteran is still a fantasy star despite playing alongside Ja’Marr Chase. Last year, Higgins and Joe Burrow struggled to stay healthy, limiting the star receiver’s fantasy production. However, he had three consecutive seasons averaging at least 10.1 fantasy points per game before 2023. Buy the dip and expect Higgins to rebuild next year, especially if Tyler Boyd (still a free agent as of this writing) doesn’t return.
Round 9, Pick 2 – Dalton Kincaid (TE – BUF)
Everyone had high hopes for Kincaid as a rookie. Unfortunately, he was inconsistent for fantasy players, as the tight end struggled to see consistent targets. However, Kincaid was outstanding when Dawson Knox or Gabe Davis missed time, averaging 12.8 fantasy points per game from Week 7 through Week 10 with Knox out of the lineup. With Stefon Diggs in Houston and Davis in Jacksonville, Kincaid could have a Trey McBride sophomore-year breakout despite the drafting of Keon Coleman.
