Fernando Mendoza vs Ty Simpson
Fernando Mendoza holds a 31.9% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/4/2026
THE CASE FOR MENDOZA
Mendoza’s SF 4,037 vs Simpson’s 1,810 (a 55.2% gap) reflects meaningfully higher market value, which is usually the most reliable tiebreaker in dynasty. He’s also nearly a year younger (22.8) and attached to a situation where a clearer path to starts would immediately reprice him upward. In superflex, a higher-valued QB asset gives you more flexibility: start him, flip him, or package him without taking a haircut.
THE CASE FOR SIMPSON
Simpson’s appeal is cost: at SF 1,810 you’re paying for contingency value rather than an assumed starter, which can be ideal if you’re stockpiling cheap QB darts. The LAR affiliation can create spike-value windows if injuries or depth chart volatility open even a short runway to starts. If he gets even a brief starting opportunity, the percentage gain from 1,810 can be substantial relative to acquisition cost.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Mendoza—he’s the better liquidity/hold value play and gives you a more usable superflex chip right now.
Mendoza—he’s younger and already priced as the superior asset, so he’s easier to convert into future picks or a different QB profile.
Only lean Simpson if the price is meaningfully cheaper (e.g., you’re adding an extra pick/asset back) because the current gap says Mendoza is the stronger straight-up bet.

Superflex?
In superflex you prioritize the higher-valued QB asset, so Mendoza is the preferred roster piece unless Simpson’s discount is steep.
