Brock Purdy vs Lamar Jackson
Lamar Jackson holds a 41.3% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/18/2026
THE CASE FOR PURDY
Purdy is 3 years younger and tied to an elite, stable supporting cast in a QB-friendly system that sustains high efficiency and TD chances. His profile is built on weekly floor through accuracy/decision-making, which tends to age well and avoid the volatility of rushing-dependent scoring. At a 38% discount, he can be the better roster-construction play if you can redirect the value gap into another starter or premium pick.
THE CASE FOR JACKSON
Lamar is a true difference-maker in superflex because his rushing creates top-tier weekly ceilings and insulation when passing volume/efficiency dips. He’s a perennial top-3 overall QB outcome when healthy, and that kind of spike-week leverage wins playoff matchups. Paying up is justified when you want the most bankable elite QB1 production rather than a high-end QB1/2 archetype.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Lamar if you’re pushing chips in for weekly advantage; Purdy if you can turn the gap into a strong RB/WR2 or another starting QB and still contend.
Purdy because he’s younger and cheaper, letting you add picks/young starters alongside a long-term QB1/2 anchor.
It’s closer than market implies—Lamar is the higher scorer, but Purdy plus the 38% value delta often builds the stronger overall lineup.
