Baker Mayfield vs Brock Purdy
Brock Purdy holds a 42.7% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/23/2026
THE CASE FOR MAYFIELD
Mayfield is a proven fantasy QB2/low QB1 when paired with strong weapons, and Tampa’s pass-catcher room plus his aggressiveness keeps weekly spike weeks alive. He’s cheaper than the elite tier in Superflex, so the value is that you can allocate assets elsewhere while still getting usable QB scoring. If you’re contending and just need stable starts, he’s a pragmatic buy who won’t cost Purdy-level capital.
THE CASE FOR PURDY
Purdy is 4.7 years younger and already priced as a longer-term Superflex starter, which matters a ton at quarterback in dynasty. He’s attached to an efficient, QB-friendly ecosystem in SF that supports strong rates and high weekly floors, and his job security is materially better than most non-elite QBs. The 30.5% valuation gap is largely justified by age/insulation plus a clearer multi-year runway as a locked-in starter.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take Purdy if you can pay the gap without gutting depth, but Mayfield is the better points-per-cost play if you’re maximizing lineup value.
Purdy is the clear choice because the age curve and market insulation give you a more durable asset to hold or flip later.
If the difference is within a 2nd-round rookie pick range, lean Purdy; if it’s closer to a 1st, lean Mayfield plus the pick.
