Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Superflex Dynasty Startup (2026)

Who doesn’t love a good dynasty startup? I wanted to partake in one using current market values to give you a sense of what a team drafting right in the middle might look like. Using FantasyPros’ fantasy football mock draft simulator, I took the seventh spot in a 12-team Superflex startup with the following lineup requirements: 1-QB, 2-RB, 3-WR, 1-TE, 2-FLEX and 1-Superflex.

This setup creates plenty of room for different builds, and I decided to live on the wild side by punting quarterback early in favor of elite talent at running back and wide receiver. Let’s see if you like how my team turned out. Check it out below.

Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Superflex Dynasty Startup

1.07: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR – SEA)

I was thrilled to land my dynasty WR1 here. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is only 24 years old and is coming off a season in which he won the Offensive Player of the Year. He reeled in 119 catches for 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns. His 21.2 fantasy points per game average ranked second behind only Puka Nacua.

Smith-Njigba finished in the top three in nearly every major efficiency metric, and he did that on a whopping 163 targets. Last year may be the best we’ll ever see from Smith-Njigba, but he has several elite seasons ahead of him as he enters his prime.

2.06: Ashton Jeanty (RB – LV)

Some may consider Ashton Jeanty’s rookie season a disappointment, but I’m not in that camp. He racked up over 1,200 yards and scored 10 times behind an abysmal offensive line. Those are solid numbers when you consider 26.7% of his carries were stuffed runs.

Now he gets Klint Kubiak as his head coach, bringing over an offensive system that helped Seattle win the Super Bowl. Expect Jeanty’s efficiency to skyrocket if he keeps evading tackles as he did in 2025, when his juke rate (27.7%) ranked fifth among all running backs.

3.07: James Cook (RB – BUF)

I liked the idea of pairing James Cook, the NFL’s rusher leader from a season ago, with Ashton Jeanty, giving me an elite 1-2 punch at running back. Cook is coming off a season where he set career highs in carries (309), rushing yards (1,621), yards per carry (5.3) and fantasy points per game (17.8).

Cook is a little older than most realize as he heads into his age-27 season, but he doesn’t have a lot of mileage on him, and he’s tied to Josh Allen for the next few years in what should continue being an explosive offense. It felt like highway robbery landing Cook here.

4.06: Emeka Egbuka (WR – TB)

Passing on a quarterback through four rounds in Superflex is a dangerous game, but I saw the value in adding Emeka Egbuka to my receiver room.

As a rookie, Egbuka started as hot as a receiver possibly can; he was the WR3 over the first five weeks, averaging 20.5 fantasy points per game. Sadly, he suffered a hamstring injury after that and clearly wasn’t the same. He finished his rookie campaign averaging 11.5 fantasy points per game, good for WR32.

Heading into 2026, Egbuka has the chance to seize the No. 1 WR role in Tampa Bay’s offense now that Mike Evans is no longer around. If he can do that and show us more of the explosive playmaker that we saw pre-injury, he’ll have a very promising future ahead of him.

5.07: Baker Mayfield (QB – TB)

Landed my first quarterback and was ecstatic to stack Baker Mayfield with Emeka Egbuka. Before injuries started to mount last season, Mayfield was on fire and led the Buccaneers to a 5-1 start. From the start of 2024 through Week 6 of the 2025 season, Mayfield led all quarterbacks in passing yards (6,039) and passing touchdowns (53).

Mayfield is going into the final year of his deal with the Buccaneers, but at only 31 years old and with proven production over the past few seasons, he’s going to get a long-term contract at some point. With consecutive QB1 finishes, Mayfield makes for a solid anchor to my quarterback room over the next few years.

6.06: Cam Ward (QB – TEN)

Had to double-tap the position to get my second quarterback. While it wasn’t a great rookie season from Cam Ward — last year’s No. 1 overall pick — he showed massive improvement in the second half of the season. He had the league’s best touchdown-to-interception ratio from Week 11 on.

This year, Ward’s setup has improved significantly on paper. He has a new play-caller in Brian Daboll, a new slot maven in Wan’Dale Robinson and a new downfield threat in rookie Carnell Tate. If everything clicks, Ward should have a big Year 2 leap.

7.07: Kyle Pitts (TE – ATL)

No draft is complete until I land Kyle Pitts. He’s my target every time in this range if I don’t grab Brock Bowers or Trey McBride earlier. Pitts is coming off his best fantasy season yet, finishing as the TE2 in total fantasy points scored. On a per-game basis, he averaged 12.4 fantasy points (TE4).

With a brand new three-year, $54 million contract, Pitts is now one of the highest-paid tight ends in the league. That makes him a lock to be the No. 2 target-earner behind Drake London, even with a new coaching staff in town. If he continues to be as explosive and efficient as he was last year, Pitts is in store for another big season.

8.06: Sam Darnold (QB – SEA)

As you can see, I like my stacks. I grabbed another one here by pairing Sam Darnold with Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He’s my third quarterback by draft order, but there will be plenty of weeks where I slide him into my starting lineup — particularly early on while I see how Ward looks in his new offense.

It’s wild to see Darnold so low in average draft position (ADP) after winning the Super Bowl last year. He’s coming off back-to-back 4,000-yard campaigns, and he finished as the QB13 in 2025 in total fantasy points scored. Darnold is not flashy, but he gets the job done and is throwing to one of the best wideouts in football. Sometimes boring is all you need.

9.07: Michael Wilson (WR – ARI)

I’m not the biggest Michael Wilson fan, but it’s hard to argue with what he did last season. He took full advantage of the quarterback change to Jacoby Brissett and benefited from Marvin Harrison Jr. missing several games.

Wilson had the kind of third-year leap we used to expect from receivers, finishing with 78 receptions for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns, good for a WR10 overall finish. However, I’m not expecting WR1 output again in 2026.

Harrison should be healthy, and he’ll operate as Arizona’s No. 1 wideout. And both will be behind Trey McBride, who set the NFL record for most catches by a tight end last season. But as my WR3, I think Wilson is a good value here.

10.06: Kyle Monangai (RB – CHI)

The bruiser in Ben Johnson‘s offense, Kyle Monangai, was a winner after Chicago didn’t address the running back position in free agency or the draft.

Look for Monangai to pick up where he left off as a rookie, when he totaled 947 yards and five scores. Monangai should continue to be the thunder to D’Andre Swift‘s lightning.

11.07: Quentin Johnston (WR – LAC)

Now in his fourth season, Quentin Johnston continues to be slept on. He has now produced consecutive seasons with over 700 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.

Johnston now gets to play in a Mike McDaniel offense, making him an exciting high-upside WR4 or FLEX option in this range.

12.06: Jalen Coker (WR – CAR)

Congrats to Jalen Coker on his recent three-year contract extension. Formerly undrafted out of Holy Cross, he balled out down the stretch last year.

Coker ended the season with a bang in the Wild Card round, catching nine passes for 134 yards and a score. He’ll be Carolina’s No. 2 WR moving forward.

13.07: Chig Okonkwo (TE – WSH)

Chig Okonkwo signed with Washington this offseason and has a chance to be Jayden Daniels‘ No. 2 target behind Terry McLaurin.

Okonkwo has never missed a game in his career and could finally realize his full potential if he gets the same looks that Zach Ertz saw over the past two seasons.

14.06: Nicholas Singleton (RB – TEN)

Penn State’s all-time leader in touchdowns and scrimmage yards, Nicholas Singleton fell to the fifth round after breaking his foot at the Senior Bowl.

Singleton is a big-bodied, downhill runner who could earn significant playing time as early as 2027, when both Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are set to become free agents.

15.07: De’Zhaun Stribling (WR – SF)

San Francisco shocked everyone when it took De’Zhaun Stribling at No. 33 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. He seems like a solid scheme fit in Kyle Shanahan’s offense as a physical wideout who isn’t afraid to block.

Stribling is an intriguing stash after recording back-to-back seasons with over 800 receiving yards and six scores to end his collegiate career.
