In case you ever doubted that quarterbacks were important in fantasy football, 19 of the top 26 scorers in Week 9 came at the quarterback position, per fantasydata.com. Of the top 50, 23 of the 28 quarterbacks that started qualified. That's extremely impressive, especially considering that multiple quarterbacks didn't play full games on Sunday. It also proves that in two-QB and Superflex leagues, it's almost always the right move to play two quarterbacks if you have the opportunity to do so. That's why our Week 10 fantasy superflex rankings contain each of the 28 starting QBs in the top 100.
There are a few cases that would warrant starting a non-QB in a superflex spot. Maybe you were able to land James Robinson and have insane depth at the RB spot. Maybe you picked up Tee Higgins or Chase Claypool and have great receiver depth. Or maybe you have a bye-week QB as one of your starters, such as Matt Ryan, and are without a normal starting QB that you could plug in to replace him. In those cases, feel free to go with a non-QB, but just understand that while those players may have higher ceilings than the QB, they also have much lower floors.
WEEK 10 STANDARD RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
That's why Jake Luton is able to crack the top 100 of these rankings. Despite being a sixth-round rookie making his second start against one of the NFC's best teams, the Packers, Luton still has a high floor and may have to throw quite a bit to get the offense moving for the Jaguars. His floor is higher than the ceilings of Leonard Fournette, Marvin Jones, Jonathan Taylor, and many other players that would draw starter consideration in standard leagues, so Luton simply has to be trusted.
Playing Luton may seem like a risk, as does playing Kirk Cousins (@ Bears) in a bad matchup or the turnover-prone Daniel Jones (vs. Eagles). But at the end of the day, QBs are more likely to produce than RBs and WRs and if you're hunting for a couple of top-50 scorers for your lineup, the best way to find them is to start two quarterbacks.
