However, that rule only applies in 1QB leagues. Traditionally, fantasy experts recommend waiting till the later rounds to draft a quarterback or stream the position. The bigger the league, the more emphasis you should put on drafting quarterbacks early. Between injuries and bye weeks, you want to leave your draft with at least three quarterbacks but ideally four.

However, in 12 or more team leagues, some teams will only have two (or one) starting quarterbacks. In a 10-team or smaller league, every team could draft three starting NFL quarterbacks. Your draft strategy should change in a fantasy league with only eight teams compared to one with 14. While starting Mariota last year wasn’t the most appealing option, it was the correct move to make for your fantasy team statistically.

Only six wide receivers and six running backs averaged more fantasy points per game than Mariota in half-point PPR scoring. Last year Marcus Mariota was the QB20, averaging 15.1 fantasy points per game. The QB20 will outscore a typical RB2 or WR2 most weeks. The quarterback position is extremely valuable in superflex leagues. While you do not have to start a quarterback in your Superflex spot, you will want to, even if the quarterback isn’t an elite fantasy player. Unlike regular flex spots, Superflex spots allow you to play a quarterback in that slot. Superflex leagues are like any other fantasy league, except for one exception.
