Daniel Jones vs Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough holds a 36.2% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/19/2026
THE CASE FOR JONES
Jones has proven he can deliver usable QB2 weeks in Superflex when starting, with some rushing to buoy his floor. At 29, he’s a known-quantity bet for spot starts and short-window production compared to a rookie/unknown. If he lands even a bridge-starter role in IND, he’s immediately more lineup-relevant than most speculative backups.
THE CASE FOR SHOUGH
Shough is younger and priced with upside baked in, which matters in dynasty if there’s any path to starts in NO. If he gets on the field, even mediocre starting QB volume can spike his trade value quickly in Superflex. The market gap (~29% in his favor) reflects the idea that his range of outcomes includes a value jump, while Jones’ is mostly flat/declining.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Jones if you need playable starts this season; otherwise take the cheaper-to-hold upside bet in Shough only if you can wait.
Shough—age and asymmetric upside are more valuable than Jones’ likely short-term, low-ceiling utility.
Lean Shough at current pricing unless you specifically need early-season QB starts, in which case Jones is the better plug-and-play bet.

Superflex?
In Superflex, prioritize whoever is most likely to start games for you this year (Jones for immediacy), but default to Shough for rebuilds and roster value insulation.
