ADVICE

Turn Strategy: Build Offense Then Add QBs

When drafting at the turn in superflex, target position players to gain leverage over early-QB teams.
Then circle back to QB later because QB6–QB20 is largely flat and you can find value after building WR/RB strength.

That flattish middle makes calculated QB risks and late QB strategies more viable this year.
