Fantasy football flex and superflex rankings for Week 17 (2024)

Welcome to Week 17 of the 2023 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!

These rankings have been updated to take players out from Thursday's and Saturday's games.

1. Christian McCaffrey, 49ers (RB1): Even in a rough Week 16 loss, he scored 25.1 PPR points. Expect two more big fantasy games!

2. Jalen Hurts, Eagles (QB1): It sure is a good thing he has those 15 rushing touchdowns. He should add to the total against Arizona.

3. Lamar Jackson, Ravens (QB2): The potential league MVP continues to provide good-but-not-great fantasy support.

4. Tyreek Hill, Dolphins (WR1): A tough matchup with the Ravens looms this week, but fantasy managers obviously cannot sit him.

5. Kyren Williams, Rams (RB2): Who knew? He has rushed for 100 yards in six of eight games! Fantasy superstar!

6. Josh Allen, Bills (QB3)

7. Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs (QB4)

8. Brock Purdy, 49ers (QB5): His four-interception performance may scare investors, but he won't struggle versus the Commanders.

9. Justin Jefferson, Vikings (WR2): Acrobatic receiver remains awesome regardless of quarterback.

10. A.J. Brown, Eagles (WR3): Something is wrong with the Eagles' offense, but Brown continues to produce.

11. Alvin Kamara, Saints (RB3)

12. C.J. Stroud, Texans (QB6)

13. Kyler Murray, Cardinals (QB7)

14. Deebo Samuel, 49ers (WR4): It was a quiet performance versus the Ravens, but, again, that should not occur versus the terrible Commanders.

15. Rachaad White, Buccaneers (RB4): The No. 3 RB in season PPR scoring continues to carry fantasy managers.

16. Justin Fields, Bears (QB8)

17. Rashee Rice, Chiefs (WR5): Double-digit PPR points in five consecutive games and a strong matchup moves him up the rankings.

18. Baker Mayfield, Buccaneers (QB9)

19. Jordan Love, Packers (QB10)

20. Davante Adams, Raiders (WR6): One catch for four yards last week, but it's tough to see a repeat versus the Colts.

21. Michael Pittman Jr., Colts (WR7): He is out of concussion protocol, so if he is active versus the Raiders, rely on him.

22. Nico Collins, Texans (WR8)

23. Chris Olave, Saints (WR9)

24. Saquon Barkley, Giants (RB5)

25. James Cook, Bills (RB6): He comes off his best and worst fantasy games of the season the past two weeks, but we should expect strong numbers this week.

26. Isiah Pacheco, Chiefs (RB7): He has four touchdowns, two missed games due to a shoulder injury, and now a concussion in the past five games. Wow.

27. Matthew Stafford, Rams (QB11): So reliable for the past five games, and now he gets the Giants. Plan ahead for the Week 18 game with the 49ers, though.

28. Jake Browning, Bengals (QB12): He should deliver passable numbers at Kansas City, though there is risk.

29. Geno Smith, Seahawks (QB13)

30. Travis Kelce, Chiefs (TE1)

31. Puka Nacua, Rams (WR10)

32. Cooper Kupp, Rams (WR11): He caught only half his 12 targets in Week 16, but things should go better against the Giants.

33. Ja'Marr Chase, Bengals (WR12): He should return from his shoulder injury this week, but this ranking is not typical for him. Be cautious.

34. Stefon Diggs, Bills (WR13): He has single-digit PPR points in five of the past six games. You do not have to play him out of loyalty.

35. Mike Evans, Buccaneers (WR14)

36. Travis Etienne Jr., Jaguars (RB8)

37. Joe Mixon, Bengals (RB9): Underwhelming numbers in Week 16, but enough volume to trust him in any matchup.

38. Tua Tagovailoa, Dolphins (QB14): He probably will not throw four interceptions at Baltimore, but do not expect big fantasy numbers.

39. Easton Stick, Chargers (QB15): He has scored 17 fantasy points in consecutive games, but we understand if you are not confident here.

40. Derek Carr, Saints (QB16): He has six TD passes the past fortnight, but he scored only 3.18 fantasy points in the first Buccaneers meeting.

41. Will Levis, Titans (QB17)

42. DeAndre Hopkins, Titans (WR15): He has done little the past two weeks, so it may not matter who plays quarterback.

43. Brandon Aiyuk, 49ers (WR16)

44. Chris Godwin, Buccaneers (WR17)

45. Jonathan Taylor, Colts (RB10): He saw 18 rushing attempts in his return to the lineup, and fantasy managers love that volume.

46. DJ Moore, Bears (WR18)

47. James Conner, Cardinals (RB11)

48. Raheem Mostert, Dolphins (RB12): He overcomes modest projections every week because of the touchdowns. Will they stop now?

49. DK Metcalf, Seahawks (WR19): His next catch should get him over 1,000 receiving yards for the third time. Not a bad season at all.

50. DeVonta Smith, Eagles (WR20): Inconsistent performer surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in Week 16.

51. Calvin Ridley, Jaguars (WR21)

52. Trey McBride, Cardinals (TE2): Prime matchup with Eagles linebackers could get him back to 20 PPR points.

53. George Kittle, 49ers (TE3)

54. Kenneth Walker III, Seahawks (RB13)

55. Austin Ekeler, Chargers (RB14): He scored 21 PPR points in the earlier matchup with the Broncos, but this could also be another statistical dud.

56. Bijan Robinson, Falcons (RB15): If the Falcons continue to throw him the ball, Robinson would be the top-five RB everyone expected.

57. Aaron Jones, Packers (RB16): He has run well the past two games, but some fantasy managers may not trust him anymore.

58. D'Andre Swift, Eagles (RB17)

59. Derrick Henry, Titans (RB18)

60. Tyrod Taylor, Giants (QB18): Even the lower-tier QBs have value in superflex, and this is not even the lowest tier.

61. Sam Howell, Commanders (QB19)

62. Jaren Hall, Vikings (QB20)

63. Jarrett Stidham, Broncos (QB21):

64. C.J. Beathard, Jaguars (QB22):

65. Mason Rudolph, Steelers (QB23): He figures to start for Kenny Pickett again, and it may be better for the team's receivers.

66. Chuba Hubbard, Panthers (RB19): Five consecutive games with double-digit PPR points definitely earns our attention.

67. Ezekiel Elliott, Patriots (RB20)

68. Zamir White, Raiders (RB21):

69. Gardner Minshew, Colts (QB24): Yes, we should have expected more than 11.6 fantasy points per game. Minshew has mostly disappointed.

70. Aidan O'Connell, Raiders (QB25)

71. Ty Chandler, Vikings (RB22): He appears to be the team's starting RB now, but he did not look good in Week 16.

72. Zay Flowers, Ravens (WR22): He has exceeded 20 PPR points in three of four games, and we certainly appreciate it.

73. Tee Higgins, Bengals (WR23)

74. Jakobi Meyers, Raiders (WR24): This fellow has more touchdowns than Jacobs and Adams.

75. George Pickens, Steelers (WR25)

76. Evan Engram, Jaguars (TE4)

77. Taylor Heinicke, Falcons (QB26)

78. Bailey Zappe, Patriots (QB27)
