Jared Goff vs Justin Herbert
Justin Herbert holds a 35.6% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/17/2026
THE CASE FOR GOFF
Goff is locked into an elite, stable Detroit ecosystem (OL/skill talent/play-caller) that has repeatedly produced high-end passing efficiency and weekly QB1 usability in superflex. His market cost is far cheaper than the tier above, making him a strong points-per-dollar play for contenders who want to allocate assets elsewhere. If you believe Detroit keeps the core intact and he maintains top-10-ish volume/efficiency, he can outproduce his price for the next 1–2 seasons.
THE CASE FOR HERBERT
Herbert is the superior long-term dynasty bet: younger, more insulated by talent, and far more likely to deliver multi-year top-6 QB outcomes in superflex. Even through coaching/scheme swings, his arm talent and rushing floor relative to pure pocket QBs keep his weekly ceiling and season-long range of outcomes higher than Goff’s. The 41% value gap reflects that he’s a franchise cornerstone asset with a longer runway and better liquidity in trades.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
If you can upgrade from Goff to Herbert without crippling your starting lineup depth, pay it; otherwise Goff is a perfectly viable contender anchor at a discount.
Take Herbert—age, insulation, and trade liquidity make him the clear rebuild QB to build around.
Herbert is the better asset, but if the add-on is a premium 1st+ type piece, holding Goff and using the difference elsewhere can be the sharper roster EV move.

Trade?
In superflex, moving Goff plus a meaningful add for Herbert is fine for most builds, but avoid paying a “two-elite-assets” price unless you’re set everywhere else.
Superflex?
Herbert profiles as a long-term QB1 cornerstone, while Goff is a strong QB2 who can play as a QB1 in spikes but has less insulation if situation changes.
