Fantasy football superflex rankings 2022: QBs, RBs, WRs, TEs

Welcome to Week 1 of the NFL season and the first edition of our weekly PPR fantasy football superflex rankings for 2022. We know many of you now compete in superflex formats that invite/covet second quarterbacks in starting lineups, so these rankings account for that. It may look odd to see the lowest-ranked fantasy passers ranked 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 in Week 1 and beyond!

1. Josh Allen, Buf (QB1): Tough matchup with Super Bowl champs, but Allen's the best fantasy option for the throwing and running ability.

2. Patrick Mahomes, KC (QB2): Will be interesting to see which receivers he targets with Tyreek Hill gone. This ranking shows no worry.

3. Lamar Jackson, Bal (QB3): Let's assume he will be plenty motivated this season, regardless of opponent.

4. Justin Herbert, LAC (QB4)

5. Jalen Hurts, Phi (QB5): They gave him a No. 1 wide receiver, so he must improve as a passer. He should.

6. Jonathan Taylor, Ind (RB1): He's my No. 1 pick in standard PPR and non-PPR drafts, as quarterbacks slide. Another big season is coming.

7. Christian McCaffrey, Car (RB2): Well, he's healthy today. Hey, if we knew he'd play 'em all, he'd be the No. 1 pick. Ten games out of 33 the past two years! Ten!

8. Kyler Murray, Ari (QB6)

9. Russell Wilson, Den (QB7): Underrated this season, and of course he starts his new era by facing his former franchise. Of course.

10. Tom Brady, TB (QB8): Age is but a number. And lots of numbers are coming this season.

11. Aaron Rodgers, GB (QB9): As with Mahomes, there's someone missing. Unlike Mahomes, there's no dominant tight end to throw to
