The No. 1 reason not to start two QBs in superflex leagues is if you have a passer off because of a bye or out because of an injury. Josh Allen (Bills), Nick Mullens (49ers), Nick Foles (Bears), and Daniel Jones (Giants) represent this week’s bye week QBs while Matthew Stafford (thumb), Drew Brees (ribs), Drew Lock (ribs), and Teddy Bridgewater (knee) have injury issues that are deeming them questionable or, in Brees’ case, out.

That said, there are few other reasons to opt for a non-quarterback in the superflex spot. Unless your RB or WR depth is elite, starting a QB is always safer.
For that reason, we are once again ranking all 28 quarterbacks starting this week in our top-100 rankings. This includes the likes of Lock against the Dolphins and rookie Jake Luton in a brutal matchup against the Steelers. Is it fun to play Luton against one of the NFL’s best defenses? No, but the fact remains that he is a quarterback and has a high floor. Even if the Steelers defense contains him for most of the day, he could rack up some garbage-time yardage and outperform some of the RBs and WRs that are ranked below him (J.D. McKissic, Nyheim Hines, Marquise Brown, Tee Higgins).
At the end of the day, quarterbacks are more likely to produce than RBs and WRs. The best way to find a top-50 scorer for a superflex spot is to plug in a QB there. No matter how bad the matchup may look, they always have a chance to produce just as Garrett Gilbert showed us against the Steelers in Week 9 (14.52 fantasy points, 42nd in the league that week).
