Superflex QB tiers and draft tactics for 2025 | Fantasy Football Happy Hour | NFL on NBC

Superflex fantasy football isn’t a straight two-QB grind; it’s a flexible, multi-flex frame that can tilt toward QB-heavy weeks and keep the rest of the roster in play. The episode clarifies how tiers structure value: Tier 1 anchors (Allen, Jackson, Hurts, Burrow) sit at the top, while Tier 2 quarterbacks (Mahomes, Mayfield, Kyler Murray, Fields, Stroud, etc.) offer upside with careful draft cadence. Tier 3 and Tier 4 hitters fill the back end, presenting upside but with more risk. With large lineups and multiple flex spots, managers can chase big weeks while moderating downside with a solid QB2 and waiver options. The discussion also dives into common draft misreads: overpaying early for QBs in slow drafts or under-valuing depth in a league that rewards flexibility and points when you hit.

In practice, the hosts walk through real-world draft dynamics: locking in two premium QBs early often pays off when the byes and injuries hit, while loading up skill players in the early rounds can still leave room to grab a dependable QB2. They highlight the value of understanding how your league values quarterbacks, the impact of a large starting slate, and the strategic sweet spot where Tier 1 and Tier 2 collide with depth pieces. A few anecdotes—like the cost of bumping a top receiver for a backup QB—underscore the delicate balance between elite weekly ceilings and roster balance.

In a Superflex draft, which early-round QB pairings maximize value when Tier 1 QBs disappear before you pick?How should you approach a League with 12+ roster spots and 3-4 flexes when QB value erodes after the top tiers?Which Tier-3 quarterback has the best ceiling for a QB2 role this season and why (examples: Stroud, Lawrence, Purdy)?In Week 1, with two QB slots locked, what’s your plan for QB2 exposure given potential early-season volatility?
