Ranks: Top 200 | QB | RB | WR | TE | DEF | K | Mock Draft | SuperflexSports Illustrated held its annual 12-team, Superflex experts league draft on Aug. 20 live at Circa Resort and Casino in downtown Las Vegas. The league has a full-point PPR, tight end-premium (extra 0.5 points per catch) format that also rewards players for kick and punt return yards (1 point for every 25 yards).The participants of the league, in order of draft position, are Marcus Mosher from Locked on Fantasy Football, Jen Piacenti from Shark Bets, Bob Harris from FootballGuys, Howard Bender from Fantasy Alarm, myself, Craig Ellenport from Athlon Sports, Jamey Eisenberg from CBS Sports, Andy Beherns from The Deep Shot, Bill Enright from Draft Nation, radio personality Richard Christy, Lindsay Rhodes from Sumer Sports and actor James Roday Rodriguez. To break down the draft, here’s every pick and my draft strategies. Where did I get “sniped?” Where did I need to audible? Read on to find out ...Round 1Round/PickTeamPlayer1.1MosherJahmyr Gibbs, RB, Lions1.2PiacentiBijan Robinson, RB, Falcons1.3HarrisJa'Marr Chase, WR, Bengals1.4BenderAshton Jeanty, RB, Raiders1.5FabianoJosh Allen, QB, Bills1.6EllenportJoe Burrow, QB, Bengals1.7EisenbergPuka Nacua, WR, Rams1.8BehrensChristian McCaffrey, RB, 49ers1.9EnrightCeeDee Lamb, WR, Cowboys1.10ChristyDrake Maye, QB, Patriots1.11RhodesLamar Jackson, QB, Ravens1.12RodriguezJaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, SeahawksStrategy: Being a Superflex league, I was looking to draft two quarterbacks in the first three rounds. So when Allen fell to me with the fifth overall pick, I was more than thrilled—and a little shocked, to be honest. This is a trend I’ve seen among the experts this year, as the first round isn’t as heavy on quarterbacks (only four were picked). However, I’m happy to land Allen.Notes: Jeanty going in the top four was a surprise—this draft occurred before his injury—and Burrow going ahead of Jackson and Maye was also notable. Lamb went pretty high as well, as the Cowboys wide receiver went ahead of Smith-Njigba, St. Brown and Jefferson.Round 2Round/PickTeamPlayer2.13RodriguezTrey McBride, TE, Cardinals2.14RhodesAmon-Ra St. Brown, WR, Lions2.15ChristyA.J. Brown, WR, Patriots2.16EnrightBrock Bowers, TE, Raiders2.17BehrensJonathan Taylor, RB, Colts2.18EisenbergJames Cook, RB, Bills2.19EllenportJustin Jefferson, WR, Vikings2.20FabianoJalen Hurts, QB, Eagles2.21BenderChase Brown, RB, Bengals2.22HarrisOmarion Hampton, RB, Chargers2.23PiacentiJustin Herbert, QB, Chargers2.24MosherCaleb Williams, QB, BearsStrategy: I could have gone with Chase Brown or London here, but I couldn’t pass on Hurts. That’s one hell of a quarterback duo along with Allen, who both have double-digit touchdown potential as runners. Truly, I was surprised Hurts lasted this long in a Superflex draft. Notes: Just three quarterbacks were picked in this round, so six teams (half the teams in the league) don’t have a single field general after two rounds. Again, I’m seeing this more often in experts leagues. McBride was the first tight end picked, and Bowers went three spots later. Round 3Round/PickTeamPlayer3.25MosherDrake London, WR, Falcons3.26PiacentiColston Loveland, TE, Bears3.27HarrisOmarion Hampton, RB, Chargers3.28BenderJayden Daniels, QB, Commanders3.29FabianoDe'Von Achance, RB, Dolphins3.30EllenportSaquon Barkley, RB, Eagles3.31EisenbergDak Prescott, QB, Cowboys3.32BehrensNico Collins, WR, Texans3.33EnrightJaxson Dart, QB, Giants3.34ChristyKenneth Walker III, RB, Chiefs3.35RhodesGeorge Pickens, WR, Cowboys3.36RodriguezDerrick Henry, RB, RavensStrategy: With two quarterbacks already on the roster, it’s time for me to start grabbing backs and wide receivers. The best player on the board at these positions was Achane, who I was happy to land in the third round. While many believe he could be a bust playing in what projects to be a bad Dolphins offense, I still have a high grade on him among running backs. I’ll gladly take him where I got him.Notes: Four quarterbacks came off the board in this round, and all four were the first drafted by their respective teams. Among the non-quarterbacks, London might have been the best value. We also saw the third tight end, Loveland, come off the board in this tight end-premium format.

The best wideout on the board was McMillan, who I love as a potential breakout player this year. He finished as the WR16 in his rookie year, so a top-10 performance in his second season isn’t far-fetched.Notes: Four more quarterbacks were picked in this round, led by Nix. He was the first player at the position selected by Rodriguez. Purdy, Murray and Mahomes also came off the board, so there are now three teams that have two quarterbacks, and every team has at least one. Five Wide Receivers I Can’t Stop Drafting In My Fantasy Football Leagues!@SInow pic.twitter.com/GMHl4zkpMM— Michael Fabiano (@Michael_Fabiano) July 30, 2026Round 5Round/PickTeamPlayer5.49MosherJavonte Williams, RB Cowboys5.50PiacentiZay Flowers, WR, Ravens5.51HarrisBreece Hall, RB, Jets5.52BenderCam Ward, QB, Titans5.53FabianoEmeka Egbuka, WR, Buccaneers5.54EllenportJaylen Waddle, WR, Broncos5.55EisenbergJared Goff, QB, Lions5.56BehrensMatthew Stafford, QB, Rams5.57EnrightTravis Etienne Jr., RB, Saints5.58ChristyBucky Irving, RB, Buccaneers5.59RhodesJordan Love, QB, Packers5.60RodriguezMalik Willis, QB, DolphinsStrategy: I’m going with the best-available-player strategy over the next few rounds, and for me, that was Egbuka. I know there are some concerns about his toe injury, but reports suggest it isn’t a major issue. If you listen to the Locked On Fantasy Football podcast or have read my wide receiver breakouts article, then you know I love Egbuka to thrive this season. Notes: This round saw the most quarterbacks (five) come off the board to this point. Going into Round 6, all but four teams have drafted a pair of signal-callers. You can also see that there are still plenty of valuable players available at running back, wide receiver and tight end.

As you can see, I practice what I preach … McMillan, Egbuka and Burden are my three favorite breakout wide receivers, and I drafted all of them. This trio could be dynamite, so I’m a happy camper. Notes: Mayfield was the lone quarterback picked in the round, so three teams still need to take a second field general. Once again, there are plenty of good backs and wideouts on the board. Notably, just four tight ends have been taken despite the addition of half a point per reception.Round 7Round/PickTeamPlayer7.73MosherRome Odzune, WR, Bears7.74PiacentiMike Evans, WR, Buccaneers7.75HarrisDaniel Jones, QB, Colts7.76BenderCarnell Tate, WR, Titans7.77FabianoD'Andre Swift, RB, Bears7.78EllenportHarold Fannin Jr., TE, Browns7.79EisenbergDavid Montgomery, RB, Texans7.80BehrensTyler Shough, QB, Saints7.81EnrightParker Washington, WR, Jaguars7.82ChristySam Darnold, QB, Seahawks7.83RhodesJameson Williams, WR, Lions7.84RodriguezKyle Pitts Sr., TE, FalconsStrategy: I was absolutely taking a running back in this round, as I have a pair of signal-callers and three receivers to go along with Achane. The best back on the board at this point was Swift, so he was the selection. I realize there is a chance he’ll lose some work to Kyle Monangai, but I still think Swift will lead the Bears' backfield in touches. He’s a viable No. 2 runner.Notes: Two of three teams that needed a second quarterback filled that spot, as Jones and Darnold were selected. Beherns took his third quarterback, Shough, one spot before Enright, who might have taken him as his second field general if he were available. Two more tight ends, Fannin and Pitts, were also drafted. However, seven teams still don’t have a tight end yet.Round 8Round/PickTeamPlayer8.85RodriguezBhayshul Tuten, RB, Jaguars8.86RhodesTony Pollard, RB, Titans8.87ChristyJaylen Warren, RB, Steelers8.88EnrightTucker Kraft, TE, Packers8.89BehrensChristian Watson, WR, Packers8.90EisenbergJadarian Price, RB, Seahawks8.91EllenportChris Godwin Jr., WR, Buccaneers8.92FabianoJonathon Brooks, RB, Panthers8.93BenderRhamondre Stevenson, RB, Patriots8.94HarrisBryce Young, QB, Panthers8.95PiacentiBrian Thomas Jr., WR, Jaguars8.96MosherC.J Strousd, QB, TexansStrategy: I felt great about my quarterbacks and wideouts, and the flow of the draft allowed me to wait another round on a tight end. As a result, I went with a third running back in Brooks. I was really hoping Price would fall to me, but he went two picks before me (sniped!). Brooks’ stock has soared this summer, but I know there’s a great likelihood he shares the workload with Chuba Hubbard in the Panthers' backfield. Still, I’ll take him as my first reserve fantasy runner.Notes: Price and Brooks were two of six running backs off the board in the eighth round. Kraft was the seventh tight end picked and the second by Enright, who might use him as a flex due to the tight end-premium scoring system (though he still doesn’t have a second quarterback). Two other teams, Harris and Mosher, selected their third quarterbacks in Young and Stroud, respectively.Round 9Round/PickTeamPlayer9.97MosherMarvin Harrison Jr., WR, Cardinals9.98PiacentiRico Dowdle, RB, Steelers9.99HarrisAlec Pierce, WR, Colts9.100BenderIsaiah Likely, TE, Giants9.101FabianoSam LaPorta, TE, Lions9.102EllenportGeorge Kittle, TE, 49ers9.103EisenbergTravis Kelce, TE, Chiefs9.104BehrensJordan Mason, RB, Vikings9.105EnrightJacoby Brissett, QB, Cardinals9.106ChristyDalton Kincaid, TE, Bills9.107RhodesJake Ferguson, TE, Cowboys9.108RodriguezCourtland Sutton, WR, BroncosStrategy: It’s time to take a tight end, and I rolled the dice with LaPorta. I do have concerns about the veteran, as he suffered a hip injury that could keep him out of Week 1. He did look good before suffering the injury, however, as he was returning from November back surgery. Clearly I’ll need to get some tight end insurance in a future round. Notes: There was a huge tight end run in this round, as Likely, LaPorta, Kittle, Kelce, Kincaid and Ferguson were all selected. Now all but two teams have their starting tight end, and three teams have two tight ends (which might be why those last two teams still lack at the position). This is the round where all teams now have at least two quarterbacks, as Enright took Brissett.Round 10Round/PickTeamPlayer10.109RodriguezGeno Smith, QB, Jets10.110RhodesMichael Wilson, WR, Cardinals10.111ChristyFernando Mendoza, QB, Raiders10.112EnrightBlake Corum, RB, Rams10.113BehrensJosh Downs, WR, Colts10.114EisenbergDallas Goedert, TE, Eagles10.115EllenportDK Metcalf, WR, Steelers10.116FabianoMark Andrews, TE, Ravens10.117BenderChuba Hubbard, RB, Panthers10.118HarrisKenneth Gainwell, RB, Buccaneers10.119PiacentiWan'Dale Robinson, WR, Titans10.120MosherDe'Zhaun Stribling, WR, 49ersStrategy: I was either going with a fourth running back or a second tight end in this round. Based on the draft flow, I ended up going with Andrews. He’ll be my LaPorta insurance, and I could also use him as a flex when needed. With Likely now in New York and the Ravens lacking experienced pass catchers, I think Andrews is a decent draft bargain at this point.Notes: This round saw two more quarterbacks, Geno Smith and Fernando Mendoza, come off the board. They’re both the third options for Rodriguez and Christy, respectively. It was also notable that Mosher took De'Zhaun Stribling as his fourth wide receiver. The Niners rookie has been generating a ton of buzz, and going this high in a Superflex league is certainly proof of that.Five Tight Ends I Can’t Stop Drafting In My Fantasy Football Leagues!@sinow pic.twitter.com/qfZb25grdU— Michael Fabiano (@Michael_Fabiano) July 31, 2026Round 11Round/PickTeamPlayer11.121MosherKC Concepcion, WR, Browns11.122PiacentiTyler Allgeier, RB, Cardinals11.123HarrisJuwan Johnson, TE, Saints11.124BenderDeshaun Watson, QB, Browns11.125FabianoAaron Rodgers, QB, Steelers11.126EllenportAaron Jones Sr., RB, Vikings11.127EisenbergStefon Diggs, WR, Commanders11.128BehrensChig Okonkwo, TE, Commanders11.129EnrightRJ Harvey, RB, Broncos11.130ChristyMakai Lemon, WR, Eagles11.131RhodesJ.K. Dobbins, RB, Broncos11.132RodriguezJordan Addison, WR, VikingsStrategy: I have ignored my No. 3 quarterback spot long enough, so I went with Rodgers to fill that role. The old man was a top-20 fantasy signal-caller last season, and now he’ll be back in the offense of coach Mike McCarthy. Rodgers also has far better weapons than he did a year ago, as the Steelers added Michael Pittman Jr. and rookie Germie Bernard.

He was the sixth back off the board in the first eight picks of this round, including Jonah Coleman (who was the player I wanted the most in the round).Five Running Backs I Can’t Stop Drafting In My Fantasy Football Leagues!@SInow pic.twitter.com/wWam0l4Jgi— Michael Fabiano (@Michael_Fabiano) July 29, 2026Round 13Round/PickTeamPlayer13.145MosherJordyn Tyson, WR, Saints13.146PiacentiDalton Schultz, TE, Texans13.147HarrisJayden Reed, WR, Packers13.148BenderJa'Kobi Lane, WR, Ravens13.149FabianoMatthew Golden, WR, Packers13.150EllenportTexans defense13.151EisenbergJalen Coker, WR, Panthers13.152BehrensRams defense13.153EnrightJakobi Meyers, WR, Jaguars13.154ChristyXavier Worthy, WR, Chiefs13.155RhodesHunter Henry, TE, Patriots13.156RodriguezCaleb Douglas, WR, DolphinsStrategy: At this point, I’m looking at the best player available in each of the final six rounds. Golden was that player for me in this stanza. A popular sleeper, he’ll serve as my No. 4 fantasy receiver behind McMillian, Egbuka and Burden. He’s also the first wideout I’ve picked since Round 6, as I needed to fill other positions. Overall, I’m pretty satisfied with this wideout room.Round 14Round/PickTeamPlayer14.157RodriguezBraelon Allen, RB, Jets14.158RhodesDenzel Boston, WR, Browns14.159ChristyTyrone Tracy Jr., RB, Giants14.160EnrightDeebo Samuel Sr., WR, 49ers14.161BehrensGreg Dulcich, TE, Dolphins14.162EisenbergMarShawn Lloyd, RB, Packers14.163EllenportOronde Gadsden, TE, Chargers14.164FabianoBrandon Aubrey, K, Cowboys14.165BenderMike Washington Jr., RB, Raiders14.166HarrisTerrance Ferguson, TE, Rams14.167PiacentiWoody Marks, RB, Texans14.168MosherPat Freiermuth, TE, SteelersStrategy: Again, I practice what I preach … thus, the selection of Aubrey.

While durability has been an issue in his short NFL career, anyone who knows anything about the smallish runner knows just how dynamic he can be on the field. Also, playing in the offense of new coordinator Mike McDaniel could lead to good statistical numbers in 2026.Round 16Round/PickTeamPlayer16.181RodriguezCameron Dicker, K, Chargers16.182RhodesOmar Cooper Jr., WR, Jets16.183ChristyCyrus Allen, WR, Chiefs16.184EnrightKa'imi Fairbairn, K, Texans16.185BehrensKaelon Black, RB, 49ers16.186EisenbergRay Davis, RB, Bills16.187EllenportCam Little, K, Jaguars16.188FabianoKenyon Sadiq, TE, Jets16.189BenderRavens defense16.190HarrisJason Myers, K, Seahawks16.191PiacentiJalen McMillan, WR, Buccaneers16.192MosherChris Boswell, K, SteelersStrategy: I almost went with a defense here, but I decided to grab a third tight end instead. That tight end is Sadiq, who was the top player picked at his position in the 2026 NFL draft. He has been dealing with a setback in his return from hernia surgery, so I’m not expecting much early on in his rookie campaign. However, I’m fine with rostering Sadiq to see if he brings any value down the road.

I don’t know that this unit will be a week-in-and-week-out starter, but I do know they have one of the best Week 1 matchups, with a home game against the Cardinals. Arizona will be starting Brissett, a journeyman quarterback, and there’s a chance Jeremiyah Love could miss the game with a bum ankle.Round 18Round/PickTeamPlayer18.205RodriguezNicholas Singleton, RB, Titans18.206RhodesMalik Washington, WR, Dolphins18.207ChristyLions defense18.208EnrightKaytron Allen, RB, Commanders18.209BehrensBarion Brown, WR, Saints18.210EisenbergEddy Piniero, K, 49ers18.211EllenportJauan Jennings, WR, Vikings18.212FabianoRashid Shaheed, WR, Seahawks18.213BenderJerry Jeudy, WR, Browns18.214HarrisAdonai Mitchell, WR, Colts18.215PiacentiJake Bates, K, Lions18.216MosherT.J.
