It’s that time of year again. Our first SuperFlex dynasty rookie mock draft collaboration of the season. I brought together some of our in-house talent at GoingFor2 and a few guys from some other sites and podcasts to make this mock happen. I tagged their Twitter accounts with their picks, so feel free to reach out to them and tell them they’re wrong…
1.01 QB Caleb Williams – USC
Caleb Williams has some analysts poking holes in his game right now, but make no mistake about it, Williams will be the top pick in the NFL Draft and a locked-in high-end Dynasty Asset the moment his name is called by whoever selects him. Williams, the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner, would have been the top QB selected in last year’s draft ahead of Bryce Young, CJ Stroud and Anthony Richardson.
He has the potential to be a consistent QB1, with QB1 Overall upside. Williams is incredibly accurate, has velocity and an impressive deep ball, and the ability to throw on the move. In three seasons at Oklahoma and USC, Williams passed for over 10,000 yards and 93 TD passes.
Athletically, Williams has reported 40 times of 4.6 or lower. He can be an opportunistic scrambler as a Pro elevating his fantasy potential even higher. It is unfair to compare any young QB to Patrick Mahomes, but Williams may be the closest thing we have seen to him yet. – Theo Gremminger @theOGfantasyfootball

1.02 WR Marvin Harrison Jr. – Ohio State
I get the argument that QBs should always take priority in SF leagues, however, there is no chance that you should pass up the next great WR here. MHJ has all the hype, all the skills, and all the tools to be the next big thing. Hopefully, he can avoid a run-first scheme and not land in a crowded situation. Somewhere like KC or Buff would be great, but Carolina or the Pats could be interesting. The player that MHJ reminds me the most of is Ceedee Lamb. – Floyd Goodnight @QuinnFloydG of GoingFor2
1.03 QB Drake Maye – UNC
When it comes to superflex leagues, the cheapest time to get players is going to be in the rookie draft, especially quarterbacks. Drake Maye should have — at the very least — top ten draft capital in the NFL Draft and could be the second quarterback off the board. This means you are going to need to draft him early and the 1.03 or later is a value. Drake Maye has the arm talent and sneaky mobility to be a 10-year NFL starter. EASY. Anywhere I can get Drake Maye I will. – Shane Barrett @ffShaneB of RotoHeat
1.04 QB Jayden Daniels – LSU
With it being a super flex, I can see the top four looking like this — in any order. I am excited to select Daniels here as he’s looking to be no worse than a top-5 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. Coming in at 6’4″, 210 pounds, Daniels finished the season with 3,812 passing yards and an astonishing 40 passing touchdowns. On top of this, he only had four interceptions for the season.
What’s great about his game is his rushing ability where he dominated — running for 1,134 yards and 10 touchdowns. However, at the next level, he is going to have to learn how to slide. He’s a great passer on the run and has pinpoint accuracy. He will more than likely be drafted as a QB2 for us dynasty players but should have a CJ Stroud-like season wherever he ends up. – Ryan Miner @RyanMiner_FFB of Faceoff Sports Network

There is a clear top tier in this wide receiver class. Many believe Marvin Harrison Jr. is in a tier by himself, and maybe he is, but Nabers is as close to that top tier as you can get, and in my opinion, is in that top tier. With Nabers’ college quarterback, Jayden Daniels, going one pick before me, taking Nabers here was a no-brainer.
Nabers is coming off a 1,500-yard season to go along with 14 touchdowns and is largely expected to go in the first half go the first round of the NFL Draft, giving him the all-important draft capital we love so much. Nabers’ talent is “landing spot proof” but a good landing spot certainly couldn’t hurt. – Geoff Lambert @GeoffLambert77 of GoingFor2
1.06 WR Rome Odunze – Washington
Odunze offers the complete physical tools of an outside (X) receiver that can produce at the next level: size, speed, hands, and contested-catch ability. As Odunze continues to sharpen his craft, he will remain at worst a WR-2 with a chance to improve depending on his quarterback and offensive scheme. When I see Odunze’s size and skillset I’m reminded of Alshon Jeffery, who showed promise but had several injuries that interrupted what could have been a stellar career. – Chew Russell @FatherDynasty of Father Dynasty Podcast & Goingfor2
1.07 TE Brock Bowers – Georgia
Bowers has been on the fantasy football radar for a couple of years now. With the lack of running backs in this year’s draft class, it would be very hard to pass him up at this spot in a rookie draft. Yes, it will be interesting to see Bowers landing spot and that could change his draft spot by a pick or two.

His elite football IQ and great athleticism make him the best prospect that he is. he is a good route runner, but doesn’t quite just have a full route tree in his arsenal. But that is something that will come with time. At this point in the draft process he is a no-brainer to me I. this draft spot. And in TE premium leagues he could easily go a couple of spots higher. – Mike Hicks @dropthemikeFF of GoingFor2 & RumBoyz
1.08 WR Brian Thomas Jr. – LSU
Thomas is a guy I absolutely love in the 2024 rookie class. His combination of size (6-4, 205 lbs) and breakaway speed supported 17 touchdown receptions at LSU this past season, the most in all of college football. Thomas is likely a back-half-of-the-first-round NFL draft pick given the depth at the receiver position this year, but that potentially lands him in a good offense like Kansas City, Buffalo, or Jacksonville. I view him as an immediate field stretcher and red-zone target as a rookie, with tools to blossom into a legitimate WR1. – Jason Willan @ConsultFantasy of Gridiron Experts

Coleman reminds me a lot of Christian Watson. Big, athletic, and with not necessarily the strongest
production profile. Ironically I also selected Watson at the 1.09 my main dynasty league when he
came out. I guess I like this type of player! Coleman has some things to work on, but he can
make spectacular plays, has shown great hands, and fits a prototypical outside wide receiver.
He may not morph into a WR1 but a legitimate NFL WR2 role is in the cards. – Garrett Ball @GarrettBFF of Ballfield Banter
1.10 WR Troy Franklin – Oregon
Troy Franklin embodies the qualities that NFL teams seek in a rookie wide receiver. Standing at an impressive 6’3 and boasting a remarkable speed of 4.3, he possesses a unique combination of height and agility. What sets Franklin apart from other receivers with similar attributes is his exceptional skill in running precise routes across the entire field.
He demonstrates versatility by efficiently running routes both from the slot and the outside positions. Despite his weight of 187 pounds, Franklin excels against man coverage, often compelling opposing defenses to employ two-high coverage to contain him. While he may be on the lighter side, Franklin possesses all the necessary tools to thrive at the professional level, making an immediate impact in his rookie season. – Josh Walker @Rotonaut of GoingFor2
1.11 WR Xavier Worthy – Texas
My mantra this offseason is that situation (and, for rookies, that means landing spot) matters more than it used to in today’s NFL and, by extension, for dynasty fantasy football. We don’t have that info in January, so we are left looking at talent, archetypes, upside, etc. Xavier Worthy seems as good a bet as any at this point in the first round.
At the moment, there seems to be a big tier break after 1.07, and there are a lot of ways we can go. With JJ McCarthy yet to declare, and with Treyveon Henderson going back to school at Ohio State, they were not in this conversation at 1.11 but might be otherwise. Worthy is an explosive player with good body control and YAC ability.
A hand injury may have affected some 2022 performance, but either way, he needs to work on focus drops. I’m not as concerned with size as I might have been a few years ago; the NFL has changed. If Worthy lands with a good offensive mind, he can be very productive in the NFL, and probably a solid WR2 on a dynasty team, with spike week upside for more. – Brian Ford @ffjunkie_ of GoingFor2
1.12 QB Michael Penix Jr. – Washington
Now, I get it. We saw Penix put up a performance that could prove extremely damaging to his draft capital on the biggest stage of them all. That’s without bringing in the age and injury concerns. All that being said, in a superflex draft, with the state of the QB position in the NFL, I’m willing to take a shot on the Huskies QB here.
Penix has impressive accuracy and the ability to sling it. He could very easily be a value if he landed with the right team. I prefer to take that chance here over the next tier or WRs or an RB. – Rahul Natarajan @nrahul11 of GoingFor2
