Welcome to Week 4 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): Four touchdown passes on Monday was impressive. Ravens may be tougher, but hey, it is Josh Allen.
2. Lamar Jackson, Ravens (QB2): Expect the Bills to have a tougher time defending Jackson, too. Jackson is on his way to 1,000 rushing yards. Again.
3. Jalen Hurts, Eagles (QB3): For all the talk about the turnovers, he is still averaging better than 17 fantasy points per game.
4. Saquon Barkley, Eagles (RB1): Of course, this is the fellow carrying the Philly offense these days. Barkley looks unstoppable.
5. Breece Hall, Jets (RB2): We are all enjoying his consistent 20 touches per game. Matchups don’t matter here.
6. Bijan Robinson, Falcons (RB3)
7. CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys (WR1)
8. Justin Jefferson, Vikings (WR2)
9. Kyler Murray, Cardinals (QB4)
10. Jayden Daniels, Commanders (QB5): He is second to Josh Allen in QB fantasy points. This sure looks like Lamar Jackson 2.0.
11. Joe Burrow, Bengals (QB6): Strong showing on Monday night gets him back on track, and he faces the Panthers this week.
12. C.J. Stroud, Texans (QB7): It’s early, but this is not the start we expected. Still, look what Josh Allen did to the Jaguars. Perhaps Stroud will, too.
13. Kyren Williams, Rams (RB4): The touchdowns just keep on coming, and there is nobody else in this backfield, at least right now.
14. Alvin Kamara, Saints (RB5): Plenty of volume against the Eagles. Again, he is getting all the touches he can handle. Hope he can handle them.
15. Ja’Marr Chase, Bengals (WR3)
16. Rashee Rice, Chiefs (WR4)
17. Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs (QB8): It may seem strange to see him ranked this low, but look at the numbers. He hasn’t approached 20 fantasy points yet.
18. Brock Purdy, 49ers (QB9): It will be nice when/if he gets all the awesome skill players around him back, but it hasn’t mattered to his stats.
19. Dak Prescott, Cowboys (QB10): Remember, the garbage time touchdowns count in fantasy, too. Perhaps many more are coming for Dallas.
20. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Lions (WR5)
21. Nico Collins, Texans (WR6)
22. Sam Darnold, Vikings (QB11): Dealing with a knee injury, but Vikings need him in big battle with Packers. He will be there.
23. Jordan Love, Packers (QB12): What is less certain is whether Love plays. Packers are winning without him, though. If Love plays, play him.
24. Jonathan Taylor, Colts (RB6): The Colts’ passing game is a mess, but Taylor is getting his numbers. Must it be one or the other?
25. Jordan Mason, 49ers (RB7): It’s starting to look like we will not see Christian McCaffrey anytime soon. Mason keeps rocking.
26. De’Von Achane, Dolphins (RB8): He was quiet in Week 3, because the Dolphins have a quarterback problem. Trading for Achane is a huge risk.
27. Daniel Jones, Giants (QB13): An extreme case of an extremely talented, rookie WR turning a struggling QB around. Hard to believe, isn’t it?
28. Baker Mayfield, Buccaneers (QB14)
29. Geno Smith, Seahawks (QB15)
30. Aaron Jones, Vikings (RB9): I’ve got a feeling he is really, really looking forward to facing his old Packers teammates. Invest.
31. Joe Mixon, Texans (RB10): Ankle injury cost him Week 3, but things look better for this week against the Jaguars.
32. Derrick Henry, Ravens (RB11): Only 32 touches the first two weeks. Probably not enough. Then he got 26 touches against overwhelmed Dallas. That works.
33. James Cook, Bills (RB12)
34. DK Metcalf, Seahawks (WR7)
35. Davante Adams, Raiders (WR8)
36. Marvin Harrison Jr., Cardinals (WR9)
37. Malik Nabers, Giants (WR10): He has single-handedly turned an awful offense into a threatening one. In this case, quite the achievement.
38. DeVonta Smith, Eagles (WR11): Left Week 3 with a concussion that didn’t need to happen. Mind the news to assure he plays Sunday.
39. Justin Fields, Steelers (QB16): Week 3 looks like his breakout, but take the under on another 32 pass attempts.
40. Anthony Richardson, Colts (QB17): This is a major drop in the rankings, so let’s call this week against the Steelers rather important for his sagging value.
41. Aaron Rodgers, Jets (QB18)
42. Justin Herbert, Chargers (QB19)
43. Chris Godwin, Buccaneers (WR12)
44. Mike Evans, Buccaneers (WR13): People are worried after a few quiet weeks. Has Evans ever had a bad season? Nope.
45. Brandon Aiyuk, 49ers (WR14): Caught only half of his 10 targets in Week 3, but nothing to worry about here, either.
46. Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars (QB20): Plenty to worry about here, as Lawrence and the passing offense struggle for efficiency.
47. Kirk Cousins, Falcons (QB21): Just faced the Steelers, Eagles and Chiefs. Give him a break. The best numbers are pending.
48. James Conner, Cardinals (RB13): Terrible output versus the Lions, but don’t worry until he loses touches to Trey Benson.
49. Jahmyr Gibbs, Lions (RB14)
50. Brian Robinson Jr., Commanders (RB15)
51. Devin Singletary, Giants (RB16): The Cowboys’ run defense must improve at some point, but for now, invest in anyone facing it.
52. Andy Dalton, Panthers (QB22): Naturally, the first 300-yard, 3-TD game of the season is this fellow. He still shouldn’t be started in standard leagues.
53. Caleb Williams, Bears (QB23): Lack of a rushing attack may keep forcing this rookie to throw more. OK, we can deal with that.
54. Derek Carr, Saints (QB24): We said it before Week 3: It’s tough for Carr to help fantasy managers throwing 20 times per game.
55. Matthew Stafford, Rams (QB25)
56. Josh Jacobs, Packers (RB17): The Titans bottled him up, but the bigger concern is three catches, four targets in three games. Not cool.
57. J.K. Dobbins, Chargers (RB18): The Steelers shut him down, but it is the Steelers. Dobbins still had the workload. That says a lot.
58. DJ Moore, Bears (WR15): He has 28 targets after three games. As his rookie QB develops, Moore will sail past 1,000 yards.
59. Zay Flowers, Ravens (WR16)
60. Diontae Johnson, Panthers (WR17)
61. Tyreek Hill, Dolphins (WR18): I never thought we would see him ranked this poorly, but the lack of competent QB play is a problem.
62. Chris Olave, Saints (WR19): Still not getting the targets he needs/deserves, but he should be fine this week. Long term, who knows?
63. Drake London, Falcons (WR20): Facing the Saints may be a challenge, but London is trending ahead of Olave for sure.
64. Bo Nix, Broncos (QB26): Hard to believe Broncos want him throwing 35 times every week, but he will find the end zone throwing, eventually.
65. Gardner Minshew, Raiders (QB27)
66. Deshaun Watson, Browns (QB28)
67. Jared Goff, Lions (QB29)
68. Will Levis, Titans (QB30): The team claims it is committing to him, despite the turnovers, but what do you expect the team to say? Be worried.
69. Garrett Wilson, Jets (WR21): A lot of short passes for him so far, but the production will be there. He found the end zone in Week 3.
70. Stefon Diggs, Texans (WR22): Targets and receiving yards were there for him in a revenge game with Vikings. It may be wise time to trade him.
71. Tony Pollard, Titans (RB19): Scant volume in Week 3 reminds us that the Titans offense is a bit of a mess right now.
72. David Montgomery, Lions (RB20)
73. Rhamondre Stevenson, Patriots (RB21)
74. Travis Etienne Jr., Jaguars (RB22)
75. Brock Bowers, Raiders (TE1): Why is he ranked first at his position? Consistency, at least. No other TE has 40 receiving yards each week.
76. Trey McBride, Cardinals (TE2): He may have ranked first at tight end if not for concerns about a concussion. The matchup is certainly strong.
77. Jacoby Brissett, Patriots (QB31): Drake Maye investors really shouldn’t want him playing behind this offensive line, not yet.
78. Kenneth Walker III, Seahawks (RB23): Looked great in Week 1. Looked inactive the past two weeks. Time to worry a bit.
79. Chuba Hubbard, Panthers (RB24): The quarterback change sure got him going. Enjoy it, but assume nothing in October when rookie Jonathon Brooks debuts.
80. Bucky Irving, Buccaneers (RB25): How can he still be the backup here? Add Irving and assume the depth chart changes soon. Like this week.
81. Carson Steele, Chiefs (RB26): First indication is he is the Chiefs RB to get, though he wasn’t involved in the passing game.
82. Zack Moss, Bengals (RB27)
83. Tee Higgins, Bengals (WR23)
84. Jauan Jennings, 49ers (WR24): Monster performance in Week 3. Would the 49ers really ignore him when others return to health?
85. Terry McLaurin, Commanders (WR25): Those that dumped him after Week 2 regretted it on Monday. He should continue at a WR3 level.
86. George Kittle, 49ers (TE3): Hamstring injury cost him Week 3. The team is confident he plays this week, but make sure first.
87. Travis Kelce, Chiefs (TE4): Still a top-10 tight end, so don’t bench him yet. Defenses are simply paying him extra attention.
88. D’Andre Swift, Bears (RB28): When the Eagles allow a running back to walk, perhaps they know what they are doing.
89. Rachaad White, Buccaneers (RB29): Keep him rostered for now, but he may be running out of time to get big volume.
90. Braelon Allen, Jets (RB30): He’s forcing the Jets to give him touches and forcing fantasy managers to pay attention.
91. Najee Harris, Steelers (RB31)
92. Amari Cooper, Browns (WR26)
93. George Pickens, Steelers (WR27)
94. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seahawks (WR28)
95. Calvin Ridley, Titans (WR29)
96. Jameson Williams, Lions (WR30)
97. Courtland Sutton, Broncos (WR31)
98. Jerome Ford, Browns (RB32)
