Brock Purdy vs Drake Maye
Drake Maye holds a 35.5% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/18/2026
THE CASE FOR PURDY
Purdy is a proven NFL starter with high-efficiency production in an elite Shanahan ecosystem, giving him a strong weekly floor for contenders. His supporting cast and scheme keep his touchdown and yardage upside intact when the offense is healthy. At ~4,550 SF value, he’s a cheaper way to lock in stable QB points without paying for theoretical ceiling.
THE CASE FOR MAYE
Maye is the archetypal dynasty QB bet: younger, higher draft-capital profile, and a realistic path to becoming a long-term top-10 fantasy QB if he hits. The market already prices in that ceiling (~8,913 SF), which can hold or rise sharply with just “competent starter” signals. In Superflex, 23.9 and potential multi-contract job security are exactly what rebuilds want to anchor around.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Lean Purdy: cheaper points now with less uncertainty, and the Maye premium is hard to justify for a title push.
Lean Maye: you’re buying age, ceiling, and multi-year insulation, even at a steep market premium.
Not close at current values—Maye’s ~49% premium is a ceiling bet, while Purdy is the better points-per-cost play.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
Maye is worth more by market, but Purdy is more cost-efficient for actual production right now.
Trade?
If you have Maye, I’d only move him for Purdy plus a meaningful add (e.g., a 1st or equivalent); if you have Purdy, I’d only tier up if you’re rebuilding and can absorb variance.
Superflex?
In Superflex, prioritize Maye for rebuilds/elite ceiling builds, but prioritize Purdy for contenders trying to maximize roster value per point.
