Flex and superflex rankings for Week 3

Welcome to Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season and our weekly PPR fantasy football superflex rankings. We know many of you compete in superflex formats that invite/covet second quarterbacks in starting lineups, so these rankings account for that. It might look odd to see the lowest-ranked fantasy passers ahead of typical RB2 and WR2 options, but the potential scoring impact demands it. If your league is of the standard flex variety, just ignore the presence of quarterbacks. Regardless, good luck this week!

1. Josh Allen, Bills (QB1): One great fantasy game, one underwhelming one. Nothing to worry about as he faces Jaguars.

2. Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs (QB2): Three TDs, three interceptions so far. If he can’t throw on the Falcons this week, perhaps we worry.

3. Lamar Jackson, Ravens (QB3): He is 10th in the league in rushing yards and fifth in passing yards. Nobody can really stop him.

4. Jalen Hurts, Eagles (QB4): The turnovers are costly. After somehow losing on Monday, this week versus the Saints is a big game.

5. CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys (WR1): He takes over the traditional “flex” top spot with Christian McCaffrey out awhile.

6. Alvin Kamara, Saints (RB1): The Eagles have been the worst team against the run so far. Kamara should thrive again.

7. Breece Hall, Jets (RB2): He has 42 touches through two weeks, so clearly there are no volume concerns.

8. Bijan Robinson, Falcons (RB3)

9. Joe Burrow, Bengals (QB5)

10. Brock Purdy, 49ers (QB6)

11. Kyler Murray, Cardinals (QB7): Last season was rough, but he was recovering from injury. Now he looks like prime Murray again.

12. Ja’Marr Chase, Bengals (WR2): Getting plenty of defensive attention so far, but the Commanders won’t be stopping him.

13. Justin Jefferson, Vikings (WR3): Quad injury has us mildly concerned, but as he showed on the 97-yard TD catch/run, he is unstoppable.

14. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Lions (WR4): Ankle injury is also a mild concern. What is it with top receivers and injuries so far?

15. Rashee Rice, Chiefs (WR5): He has 178 receiving yards already. The team’s top tight end has 39 yards. Ouch.

16. C.J. Stroud, Texans (QB8)

17. Jayden Daniels, Commanders (QB9)

18. Jonathan Taylor, Colts (RB4)

19. Jordan Mason, 49ers (RB5): A must-play, of course, and nobody should assume the starting ride ends soon, either.

20. Anthony Richardson, Colts (QB10): Capable of anything, at this point, but completing less than half your passes is a bad sign.

21. Baker Mayfield, Buccaneers (QB11): If we say he is underrated in this space every week, will managers start to believe it?

22. Dak Prescott, Cowboys (QB12): Don’t read into the blowout home loss to the Saints. Prescott’s interceptions were unlucky. He’s fine.

23. Tyreek Hill, Dolphins (WR6): Concerns about Tua Tagovailoa have to affect how we evaluate the team’s top wide receiver.

24. Davante Adams, Raiders (WR7)

25. Nico Collins, Texans (WR8)

26. Brandon Aiyuk, 49ers (WR9): The Deebo Samuel injury should provide Aiyuk with more targets, and he has shined against the Rams before.

27. Saquon Barkley, Eagles (RB6): Off to a great start, but all Eagles fans are talking about is the dropped pass Monday. Just. Stay. Healthy.

28. De’Von Achane, Dolphins (RB7): We have to wonder if Achane can handle this level of volume for much longer. The Dolphins have options.

29. Derek Carr, Saints (QB13): He has thrown 39 passes in two games. His fantasy value can’t be sustained if he doesn’t throw more.

30. Jared Goff, Lions (QB14): He threw 55 passes just in Week 2! But Carr gets to throw on a shaky Eagles defense this week.

31. Geno Smith, Seahawks (QB15): It sure looks like 2022 for him, again. Don’t be afraid to invest, just in case.

32. Kirk Cousins, Falcons (QB16): Still not moving well, and faces a huge test against a more active Chiefs pass rush this week.

33. Jahmyr Gibbs, Lions (RB8)

34. James Cook, Bills (RB9)

35. Josh Jacobs, Packers (RB10)

36. Chris Olave, Saints (WR10): Will not remain an WR2 option for long with four targets per week. The Saints are running the ball.

37. Mike Evans, Buccaneers (WR11): No reason to believe his relatively slow start for catches and yards will become a problem.

38. Garrett Wilson, Jets (WR12): A bit more reason for concern here, but big numbers should be pending, even against strong defenses.

39. Marvin Harrison Jr., Cardinals (WR13): And you were worried after Week 1. Shame on you.

40. DeVonta Smith, Eagles (WR14): Not that targets and volume were a problem with A.J. Brown active, but bump him up the next fortnight.

41. Sam Darnold, Vikings (QB17): He is finally living the dream, though there are many skeptics out there. Big game this week. They all are, really.

42. Aaron Rodgers, Jets (QB18)

43. Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars (QB19)

44. Caleb Williams, Bears (QB20)

45. Derrick Henry, Ravens (RB11): Ravens really need to establish him more, and facing the Cowboys this week seems like a great opportunity.

46. Joe Mixon, Texans (RB12): Ankle injury may compromise him — or keep him out — this week, so pay attention. Cam Akers is next in line.

47. Kyren Williams, Rams (RB13): He has a few touchdowns, but without the top WRs, this offense may be in a big trouble, especially versus the 49ers.

48. Drake London, Falcons (WR15): Scored the winning touchdown on Monday, and better, more consistent times are ahead.

49. Chris Godwin, Buccaneers (WR16): Two touchdowns all last season, two already this season. Career year coming!

50. DJ Moore, Bears (WR17): OK, so his rookie QB may not be a QB1 anytime soon, but he is better than this. Stick with Moore.

51. Zay Flowers, Ravens (WR18)

52. DK Metcalf, Seahawks (WR19)

53. Justin Fields, Steelers (QB21): An elite runner for sure, but scoring 11 fantasy points per week isn’t getting it done in fantasy.

54. Deshaun Watson, Browns (QB22): Remove the rushing touchdown and he has offered next to nothing in two games.

55. Matthew Stafford, Rams (QB23): Where is Henry Ellard when you need him? Stafford lacks top options to throw to, so be careful.

56. Kenneth Walker III, Seahawks (RB14): Oblique injury cost him Week 2, and he may be compromised this week, if he suits up.

57. James Conner, Cardinals (RB15)

58. Rhamondre Stevenson, Patriots (RB16)

59. Travis Etienne Jr., Jaguars (RB17): A touchdown in each game may be masking concerns about volume, efficiency and future value.

60. Aaron Jones, Vikings (RB18): Nine rushing attempts in Week 2. Something to watch this week, because a timeshare would be a surprise.

61. Jameson Williams, Lions (WR20): His great start looks legit, especially with the attention Goff gives him in the red zone.

62. Stefon Diggs, Texans (WR21): Don’t overrate the pair of touchdowns in Week 1. He has 12 targets in two games. It’s a problem.

63. Malik Nabers, Giants (WR22): Looked great in Week 2, but it was expected versus a bad defense. Can his QB find him versus good defenses?

64. Gardner Minshew, Raiders (QB24)

65. Justin Herbert, Chargers (QB25)

66. Brock Bowers, Raiders (TE1)

67. Travis Kelce, Chiefs (TE2)

68. George Kittle, 49ers (TE3)

69. Trey McBride, Cardinals (TE4): Things are wide open atop the tight end rankings, and McBride may force his way to the top soon.

70. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seahawks (WR23): Quiet in Week 1, then he got 16 targets last week. Yes, more of that, please. A lot more of that!

71. Calvin Ridley, Titans (WR24): His QB is a turnover machine, but if Ridley gets his 1,000 yards and eight TDs, few will care.

72. Jaylen Waddle, Dolphins (WR25): His QB situation is cloudy, and Waddle would be in more danger of underwhelming numbers than Hill would.

73. Brian Robinson Jr., Commanders (RB19): Not a factor in the passing game, but he is averaging 6 yards per rush. This is a legit 1,000-yard rusher now.

74. Tony Pollard, Titans (RB20): Hard to believe the Titans want him seeing this much volume, but fantasy managers love it.

75. J.K. Dobbins, Chargers (RB21): Running wild on the Raiders and Panthers is fine, but now he gets the Steelers. We will learn something.

76. Rachaad White, Buccaneers (RB22): Certainly not running wild, and in danger of a greatly reduced workload. Monitor this.

77. D’Andre Swift, Bears (RB23)

78. Daniel Jones, Giants (QB26): He did fine against the Commanders, but now he has to face a good Browns defense.

79. Will Levis, Titans (QB27): Not a good matchup against the Packers, but you’re not relying on him in standard leagues.

80. Bo Nix, Broncos (QB28): It is tough to put up numbers averaging 5 yards per pass attempt.

81. Jacoby Brissett, Patriots (QB29)

82. Zack Moss, Bengals (RB24)

83. David Montgomery, Lions (RB25)

84. Zamir White, Raiders (RB26): Perhaps the Raiders try something else. He is averaging 3.1 yards per rush.

85. Jerome Ford, Browns (RB27): Perhaps this week tells us if he will get enough volume to matter.

86. Rashid Shaheed, Saints (WR26): Perhaps he can continue averaging 24 yards per reception, but don’t bet on it.

87. Keenan Allen, Bears (WR27): Many are giving up on him, as he missed Week 2 with a heel ailment. Don’t give up on him.

88. Michael Pittman Jr., Colts (WR28): Nothing but short, inaccurate passes headed his way. He may not be helping fantasy managers much.

89. Tank Dell, Texans (WR29)

90. George Pickens, Steelers (WR30)

91. Najee Harris, Steelers (RB28)

92. Javonte Williams, Broncos (RB29)

93. Chuba Hubbard, Panthers (RB30)
