Baker Mayfield vs Daniel Jones
Baker Mayfield holds a 24.9% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/23/2026
THE CASE FOR MAYFIELD
Mayfield is the safer weekly QB2 in Superflex thanks to better passing efficiency, a more stable offensive environment, and less reliance on rushing to get there. Tampa’s skill talent and his ability to push volume give him a higher floor and more startable weeks over the next 1–2 seasons than most mid-QBs. With a 21.6% market gap in his favor, you’re paying for bankable points rather than a projection.
THE CASE FOR JONES
Jones’ path to beating his price is rushing: if he starts and runs, he can post spike weeks that swing matchups in Superflex. He’s younger and often cheaper to acquire in trades, making him a reasonable bet if you want volatility and are willing to stomach benching/role risk. If he lands/keeps a starting job with a scheme that leans into designed runs, his value can rebound quickly relative to a depressed SF number.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take Mayfield for the higher probability of usable starts and fewer zero weeks over the next 12–24 months.
Prefer Jones only if you can buy at a discount and are explicitly swinging for a rushing-driven value bounce; otherwise Mayfield still holds better liquidity.
It’s Mayfield unless the cost to pivot to Jones is meaningfully less than the current 21.6% gap or you specifically need upside volatility.
