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 1, Pick 2 – Josh Allen (QB – BUF)
Many will move Allen down in their dynasty rankings after the Bills passed on several first-round wide receivers during the NFL Draft. The superstar has been the top-scoring fantasy quarterback in three of the past four years, including last season. More importantly, Allen was the QB1 on a fantasy points-per-game basis from Week 10 through Week 18 last season despite Stefon Diggs being the WR47 during that span. Allen doesn’t need a top-tier receiver to be a fantasy superstar.
Round 4, Pick 9 – Drake London (WR – ATL)
London has been a fantasy disappointment his first two years in the NFL despite being one of the more talented younger wide receivers in the league. Thankfully, he will no longer get held back by awful quarterback play. Despite catching passes from Marcus Mariota, Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke, the former USC star managed to average at least 10.5 fantasy points per game in both career seasons. Meanwhile, Kirk Cousins has produced multiple WR1s in the past, including two in the same year twice.
Round 7, Pick 2 – Nico Collins (WR – HOU)
No one expected Collins to be the WR9 last season, averaging 14.7 points per game. He was a go-to target for C.J. Stroud. Collins led the team in target share (21.1%), target per route run rate (28%), receiving yards market share (32.5%), yards per route run (3.37), end zone targets (10) and first-read target share (27%), per Fantasy Points Data. The one-year rental of an aging Stefon Diggs shouldn’t matter to fantasy players. Collins is the team’s No. 1 receiver.
