Bryce Young vs Ty Simpson
Bryce Young holds a 46.1% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/28/2026
THE CASE FOR YOUNG
Bryce Young has already cleared the biggest dynasty hurdle: being a locked-in NFL starter with real rushing/creation ability that can buoy weekly floors in superflex. Even if Carolina’s situation has been messy, any stretch of competent supporting cast/play-calling can quickly re-anchor him as a mid-QB2 with spike weeks, which is extremely liquid in SF formats. The 30% market premium is largely paying for certainty of role and insulation versus the typical “maybe” outcomes with non-established options.
THE CASE FOR SIMPSON
Ty Simpson is cheaper and younger, and the only path to beating the price gap is if he becomes a multi-year starter—something that can re-rate his value rapidly in superflex. At 1,810, you’re paying for optionality: if he earns/keeps a starting job, the gain can be substantial relative to cost. If you’re deep at QB and can afford risk, he’s the kind of bet that can be flipped on any positive depth-chart/news cycle.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take Bryce Young—starting-QB certainty and startability matter more than squeezing out theoretical upside at QB2/QB3 slots.
Lean Bryce Young unless you’re explicitly embracing variance; Simpson only makes sense if you’re hunting asymmetric upside and can stomach a low floor.
At a 30% gap, Bryce is the better bet in most builds, but Simpson is viable if you’re already strong at QB and want a cheaper lottery-ticket profile.
