Fantasy football league formats has evolved since the days of the Greater Oakland Professional Pigskin Prognosticators League (GOPPL), which was crated over 60 years ago and is considered the first-ever fantasy league. These days, managers can choose from a number of different league formats, including using a flex position. That requires a manager to start an extra player that can be a choice between a running back, wide receiver or tight end. However, a format that has become more popular in recent years is what is called a “superflex” league.
Simply put, superflex leagues allow fantasy managers to start a second quarterback in a flex position. So, instead of being limited to flexing a back, wideout or tight end, you can choose to go with a second field general. That’s a very smart move, too, as quarterbacks score the most points among the offensive skill spots because of the nature of their position. This also increases the value of the position, which has long been one managers could wait on and still get great value late in drafts.
