Many dynasty football leagues now play in a superflex format. There are stark contrasts in quarterback value versus other skill positions in superflex dynasty football rankings due to positional scarcity, so you’ll notice that I have many quarterbacks ranked higher overall. Beyond that, there are even nuances that change where quarterbacks are ranked within the position.
Quarterback age and starting longevity are far bigger priorities in superflex formats, which changes how I have quarterbacks ranked between the formats. In 1QB leagues, quarterback prospects with upside are coveted over safe starters because backup quarterbacks are rarely needed outside of injuries and bye weeks. However, in superflex leagues, consistent producers at QB2 and QB3 on dynasty rosters are necessary depth since it’s beneficial for the vast majority of teams start two quarterbacks every week.
The influx of a talented 2022 rookie class has shaken up these superflex dynasty rankings a bit, as quite a few quarterbacks gained receiving weapons and upgrades to their surrounding cast during the NFL Draft. Here are my updated top-200 ranked players assuming a superflex format with PPR scoring (you can find my 1QB dynasty rankings here). And be sure to check back for updated superflex dynasty rankings after training camps begin!
Say what?! Your dynasty football league didn’t use Fantrax last year? Unthinkable! Check out all the features Fantrax has to offer, and we think you’ll be singing a different tune for the coming season.
Superflex Dynasty Rankings
Last updated on Wednesday, May 11th.
Rank | Pos Rk | Player | Pos | Team | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | QB1 | Josh Allen | QB | BUF | |
2 | QB2 | Patrick Mahomes | QB | KC | The addition of Skyy Moore reinforces the notion of KC building a strong roster around Mahomes long-term. He remains firmly in the top tier of QBs. |
3 | QB3 | Justin Herbert | QB | LAC | |
4 | QB4 | Lamar Jackson | QB | BAL | |
5 | QB5 | Kyler Murray | QB | ARI | ARI quieted swirling rumors of Murray's discontent by trading for Marquise Brown, which alleviates concerns about his commitment and surrounding cast. |
6 | RB1 | Jonathan Taylor | RB | IND | |
7 | QB6 | Trey Lance | QB | SF | |
8 | QB7 | Deshaun Watson | QB | CLE | Based on Watson's court proceedings, there's a chance that he won't face any suspension in 2022. He's quickly vaulting back into the top-5 QBs. |
9 | QB8 | Joe Burrow | QB | CIN | |
10 | QB9 | Russell Wilson | QB | DEN | |
11 | QB10 | Dak Prescott | QB | DAL | |
12 | WR1 | Ja'Marr Chase | WR | CIN | |
13 | WR2 | Justin Jefferson | WR | MIN | |
14 | TE1 | Kyle Pitts | TE | ATL | |
15 | QB11 | Trevor Lawrence | QB | JAX | |
16 | QB12 | Justin Fields | QB | CHI | Fields has a fairly high fantasy floor due to rushing production, but CHI's bottom-5 OL and barren WR room are glaring concerns for his development. |
17 | RB2 | Najee Harris | RB | PIT | |
18 | RB3 | Christian McCaffrey | RB | CAR | |
19 | RB4 | Saquon Barkley | RB | NYG | |
20 | RB5 | Javonte Williams | RB | DEN | Williams was one of the most efficient RBs in the league as a rookie. Even with Gordon back, he's a dynamic young player with top-10 RB upside. |
21 | RB6 | D'Andre Swift | RB | DET | |
22 | QB13 | Matthew Stafford | QB | LAR | |
23 | QB14 | Jalen Hurts | QB | PHI | Whatever PHI decides on Hurts long-term, he's poised to repeat as a top-5 fantasy QB in 2022 with the addition of AJ Brown via trade. |
24 | QB15 | Tua Tagovailoa | QB | MIA | |
25 | QB16 | Zach Wilson | QB | NYJ | The Jets added an impact RB and WR to Wilson's supporting cast during the draft, which should make life easier for Wilson. |
26 | WR3 | CeeDee Lamb | WR | DAL | With Cooper gone and Gallup coming off an ACL, Lamb is poised to break out in a big way in 2022, especially with DAL 2nd in pace of play last year. |
27 | WR4 | Cooper Kupp | WR | LAR | |
28 | RB7 | Joe Mixon | RB | CIN | |
29 | RB8 | Austin Ekeler | RB | LAC | |
30 | RB9 | Dalvin Cook | RB | MIN | |
31 | WR5 | Jaylen Waddle | WR | MIA | |
32 | WR6 | DK Metcalf | WR | SEA | |
33 | WR7 | Deebo Samuel | WR | SF | |
34 | WR8 | Tee Higgins | WR | CIN | |
35 | WR9 | Drake London | WR | ATL | London wins 50/50 catches with great body control, has good route-running and speed considering his size, and steps into an alpha WR1 role in ATL. |
36 | WR10 | Jameson Williams | WR | DET | Williams has impeccable body control and good hands with blazing speed. Don't expect much as a rookie, but he has elite upside long-term. |
37 | TE2 | Mark Andrews | TE | BAL | With Brown now in ARI, Andrews should continue to serve as a top target for Jackson in BAL, though overall passing volume remains an issue. |
38 | WR11 | Stefon Diggs | WR | BUF | |
39 | RB10 | Breece Hall | RB | NYJ | An agile runner with good vision and speed, he's a great fit for the Jets' zone scheme but is likely the 1A in a committee backfield. |
40 | QB17 | Derek Carr | QB | LVR | Carr's future in Vegas past 2022 is up in the air, but with Adams, Waller, and Renfrow, he could have a strong season and prove his long-term worth. |
41 | QB18 | Aaron Rodgers | QB | GB | |
42 | TE3 | Travis Kelce | TE | KC | |
43 | TE4 | George Kittle | TE | SF | |
44 | WR12 | Davante Adams | WR | LVR | |
45 | WR13 | Tyreek Hill | WR | MIA | |
46 | WR14 | Diontae Johnson | WR | PIT | |
47 | RB11 | Antonio Gibson | RB | WAS | |
48 | RB12 | Nick Chubb | RB | CLE | |
49 | RB13 | Cam Akers | RB | LAR | |
50 | RB14 | Elijah Mitchell | RB | SF | |
51 | RB15 | Alvin Kamara | RB | NO | |
52 | RB16 | Ezekiel Elliott | RB | DAL | |
53 | WR15 | Courtland Sutton | WR | DEN | |
54 | WR16 | Jerry Jeudy | WR | DEN | |
55 | WR17 | AJ Brown | WR | PHI | Brown has missed time due to injury, and Hurts has yet to prove he can support multiple top-24 WRs as a passer, making Brown a risky asset. |
56 | WR18 | Michael Pittman | WR | IND | |
57 | WR19 | Marquise Brown | WR | BAL | Going from a run-heavy offense in BAL to potentially the no. 1 in a fast-paced ARI offense with Hopkins suspended bumps Brown up quite a bit. |
58 | WR20 | Garrett Wilson | WR | NYJ | Wilson has good burst and route-running and should be a solid contributor for the Jets if they scheme him open to create yards after the catch. |
59 | RB17 | Leonard Fournette | RB | TB | |
60 | RB18 | Derrick Henry | RB | TEN | |
61 | WR21 | Chris Godwin | WR | TB | |
62 | WR22 | DJ Moore | WR | CAR | |
63 | WR23 | Elijah Moore | WR | NYJ | |
64 | WR24 | Terry McLaurin | WR | WAS | |
65 | RB19 | David Montgomery | RB | CHI | |
66 | RB20 | Aaron Jones | RB | GB | |
67 | RB21 | Josh Jacobs | RB | LVR | With the Raiders having declined his fifth-year option, Jacobs's future looks murky, but he'll be a fine RB2 option for 2022. |
68 | WR25 | Mike Evans | WR | TB | Evans is older, but with Brown gone and Godwin coming off the ACL, he has elite upside in 2022 with Brady back for one more season. |
69 | WR26 | Keenan Allen | WR | LAC | |
70 | WR27 | Allen Robinson | WR | LAR | It wasn't so long ago that Kupp and Woods both finished as top-12 WRs with Goff. With Stafford, Robinson could see a massive bounce-back. |
71 | WR28 | Amari Cooper | WR | CLE | |
72 | WR29 | Chris Olave | WR | NO | Olave is an excellent route runner and has speed to create big plays downfield. Volume is a short-term concern, but he has high upside long-term. |
73 | QB19 | Kenny Pickett | QB | PIT | Pickett can go through progressions and avoids turnovers, but he may lack an elite fantasy ceiling. Still, he will be surrounded by weapons in PIT. |
74 | QB20 | Kirk Cousins | QB | MIN | |
75 | QB21 | Mac Jones | QB | NE | |
76 | WR30 | DeAndre Hopkins | WR | ARI | Hopkins is facing a six-game suspension for PEDs and will be 30 years old this season, so he's a rapidly-declining asset for contending teams only. |
77 | RB22 | JK Dobbins | RB | BAL | |
78 | RB23 | Travis Etienne | RB | JAX | |
79 | TE5 | TJ Hockenson | TE | DET | |
80 | TE6 | Darren Waller | TE | LVR | |
81 | WR31 | Rashod Bateman | WR | BAL | Brown traded to ARI expands Bateman's role and target share considerably, but overall target volume in a run-heavy BAL offense remains an issue. |
82 | WR32 | DeVonta Smith | WR | PHI | |
83 | WR33 | Skyy Moore | WR | KC | Given his lack of experience at WR, Moore is a solid route-runner and has decent speed and agility. He has WR2 upside with Mahomes. |
84 | RB24 | Kenneth Walker | RB | SEA | A powerful runner with lateral agility, Walker is a great fit to be SEA's early-down RB, but receiving usage and overall offensive efficiency are concerns. |
85 | RB25 | AJ Dillon | RB | GB | |
86 | RB26 | James Cook | RB | BUF | Cook has good vision as a runner and is an excellent receiver. In BUF's efficient offense, he could be a dynamic weapon with high fantasy upside. |
87 | WR34 | Treylon Burks | WR | TEN | Burks has good hands and can win contested catches, but he profiles as a big slot WR for TEN, so lack of volume and TDs are both worrisome. |
88 | RB27 | James Conner | RB | ARI | |
89 | WR35 | Mike Williams | WR | LAC | |
90 | WR36 | Brandin Cooks | WR | HOU | |
91 | WR37 | Michael Thomas | WR | NO | |
92 | WR38 | Christian Watson | WR | GB | Watson is a size/speed mismatch, but he's a raw route runner with inconsistent hands, so he'll need to develop more to win Rodgers's trust. |
93 | WR39 | Gabriel Davis | WR | BUF | With BUF only having added Crowder and Shakir this offseason, Davis has a chance to secure the no. 2 WR role, giving him a high ceiling. |
94 | WR40 | JuJu Smith-Schuster | WR | KC | |
95 | RB28 | Clyde Edwards-Helaire | RB | KC | |
96 | WR41 | Brandon Aiyuk | WR | SF | |
97 | QB22 | Tom Brady | QB | TB | With a $375M payday waiting for him at Fox Sports, Brady likely only has one final season in him, but he's a solid top-12 QB in fantasy for at least 2022. |
98 | QB23 | Ryan Tannehill | QB | TEN | TEN scooped Willis after he fell in the draft, but Tannehill can still hold onto his job if he plays well, and he has much more help at receiver now. |
99 | QB24 | Malik Willis | QB | TEN | Willis has the raw tools but will need to develop behind Tannehill. If he can improve as a passer, he'll have a high fantasy ceiling due to rushing upside. |
100 | TE7 | Dalton Schultz | TE | DAL | |
101 | TE8 | Dawson Knox | TE | BUF | |
102 | QB25 | Davis Mills | QB | HOU | HOU is building around Mills for the time being. He's a risk/reward QB in dynasty, but he could be a long-term starter if he plays well in 2022. |
103 | WR42 | Amon-Ra St. Brown | WR | DET | It was inevitable DET would add more WR help. St. Brown can be a WR3 with Goff targeting the slot, but don't expect his late 2021 WR1 production. |
104 | WR43 | Rondale Moore | WR | ARI | |
105 | RB29 | Damien Harris | RB | NE | |
106 | RB30 | Miles Sanders | RB | PHI | |
107 | RB31 | Ronald Jones | RB | KC | Jones is on a one-year prove-it deal, but he could see plenty of early-down work and GL touches, which gives him RB2 upside in this KC offense. |
108 | RB32 | Isaiah Spiller | RB | LAC | Despite lacking top-end speed, Spiller is an explosive runner and capable receiver. Ekeler will be 27 this year with little dead money in 2023. |
109 | WR44 | Chase Claypool | WR | PIT | QB play and the addition of Pickens are both concerns for Claypool. He'll need accurate downfield throws to produce as more than an iffy flex. |
110 | RB33 | Kareem Hunt | RB | CLE | |
111 | TE9 | Mike Gesicki | TE | MIA | |
112 | TE10 | Dallas Goedert | TE | PHI | |
113 | TE11 | Pat Freiermuth | TE | PIT | |
114 | WR45 | Christian Kirk | WR | JAX | |
115 | QB26 | Desmond Ridder | QB | ATL | An athletic QB who can progress through reads, Ridder doesn't have many highlight-reel plays but is pro-ready and could beat out Mariota as a rookie. |
116 | WR46 | Jahan Dotson | WR | WAS | Dotson is a great route-runner and has speed to make big plays. He'll be a good complement to McLaurin but is unlikely to see high target volume. |
117 | QB27 | Matt Corral | QB | CAR | An accurate QB with fair mobility, Corral offers a high fantasy ceiling but fell in the draft due to alcohol-related concerns. He's a risk/reward prospect. |
118 | QB28 | Jameis Winston | QB | NO | Winston leads this tier of usable QB2s for 2022, but all carry risk of being replaced either in-season or as soon as 2023. |
119 | QB29 | Daniel Jones | QB | NYG | |
120 | QB30 | Mitch Trubisky | QB | PIT | |
121 | QB31 | Matt Ryan | QB | IND | |
122 | TE12 | Zach Ertz | TE | ARI | Ertz averaged 6.1 tgts per gm with Hopkins last year compared to 7.2 tgts per gm when Hopkins was out. He's a TE1 for 2022 with top-5 TE upside. |
123 | TE13 | Albert Okwuebunam | TE | DEN | |
124 | RB34 | Michael Carter | RB | NYJ | The addition of Hall relegates Carter to the 1B role at best in the Jets' backfield, making him just a flex play with RB2 upside if Hall were to miss time. |
125 | TE14 | Noah Fant | TE | SEA | |
126 | WR47 | Kadarius Toney | WR | NYG | Toney's off-field past and rumors that the Giants' new management is already looking to trade Toney don't bode well for his long-term success. |
127 | WR48 | Adam Thielen | WR | MIN | |
128 | WR49 | Tyler Lockett | WR | SEA | |
129 | RB35 | Chase Edmonds | RB | MIA | |
130 | RB36 | Cordarrelle Patterson | RB | ATL | |
131 | RB37 | Rashaad Penny | RB | SEA | |
132 | RB38 | Tony Pollard | RB | DAL | |
133 | RB39 | Alexander Mattison | RB | MIN | |
134 | RB40 | Rhamondre Stevenson | RB | NE | |
135 | RB41 | Khalil Herbert | RB | CHI | |
136 | TE15 | Evan Engram | TE | JAX | |
137 | TE16 | David Njoku | TE | CLE | |
138 | WR50 | Darnell Mooney | WR | CHI | |
139 | WR51 | Michael Gallup | WR | DAL | |
140 | RB42 | Pierre Strong | RB | NE | Strong is an elusive and explosive runner who can also catch the ball. He could quickly move up the depth chart in NE and become a PPR flex option. |
141 | RB43 | Dameon Pierce | RB | HOU | A good runner who powers through contact, Pierce should be HOU's early-down back but offers limited fantasy upside barring major TD production. |
142 | RB44 | Melvin Gordon | RB | DEN | Gordon is likely to cede more work to Williams than he did last year, but he still has some usability as a flex play with upside if Williams were to miss time. |
143 | WR52 | Kenny Golladay | WR | NYG | |
144 | WR53 | Robert Woods | WR | TEN | |
145 | TE17 | Irv Smith Jr | TE | MIN | |
146 | TE18 | Cole Kmet | TE | CHI | Lack of receiving talent in CHI could make Kmet the no. 2 target behind Mooney, so he has back-end TE1 upside due to potential target volume. |
147 | TE19 | Logan Thomas | TE | WAS | With Wentz in town, a healthy Logan Thomas could see fair target volume, making him a solid TE2 with upside despite a down year in 2021. |
148 | TE20 | Robert Tonyan | TE | GB | |
149 | WR54 | Russell Gage | WR | TB | Gage is vastly underrated as the potential no. 2 WR with Brady if Godwin isn't ready by Week 1 or isn't 100% early on coming back from the ACL. |
150 | WR55 | Hunter Renfrow | WR | LVR | The arrival of Adams and presence of Waller caps Renfrow's target volume and fantasy ceiling, so don't expect him to repeat his 2021 production. |
151 | QB32 | Sam Howell | QB | WAS | Howell needs to work on accuracy and pocket presence, but he could have a chance to start as a rookie if Wentz has a slew of poor games. |
152 | QB33 | Jared Goff | QB | DET | All three QBs in this tier are usable depth QB2s for 2022, but none are expected to be long-term solutions for their respective teams or in dynasty. |
153 | QB34 | Carson Wentz | QB | WAS | |
154 | QB35 | Marcus Mariota | QB | ATL | |
155 | RB45 | Zamir White | RB | LVR | White has good vision and burst and projects to play on early downs in 2023 with the Raiders having declined Jacobs's fifth-year option. |
156 | WR56 | George Pickens | WR | PIT | Pickens is a decent route-runner who can make big plays downfield, but he enters a talented receiving room and has injury concerns. |
157 | WR57 | John Metchie | WR | HOU | While unlikely to contribute much as a rookie, Metchie can be a good complement to Cooks and provides YAC ability as a receiver. |
158 | WR58 | Alec Pierce | WR | IND | Pierce can be a deep threat for IND and win contested catches but has some work to do as a route-runner and profiles as a no. 2 receiver. |
159 | WR59 | Wan'Dale Robinson | WR | NYG | Robinson is a YAC playmaker who can be used in a variety of ways and could start for the Giants in the slot as a rookie. |
160 | TE21 | Rob Gronkowski | TE | FA | Gronk has yet to officially return, but the odds are good that he'll return for a final season and shot at another ring with Brady back from retirement. |
161 | TE22 | Austin Hooper | TE | TEN | |
162 | TE23 | Tyler Higbee | TE | LAR | |
163 | TE24 | Hunter Henry | TE | NE | |
164 | WR60 | Jarvis Landry | WR | FA | Landry has yet to sign, but he's a strong slot option for whatever team ultimately gets him and can be a fantasy WR3 in the right offense. |
165 | RB46 | Gus Edwards | RB | BAL | Both Dobbins and Edwards are coming off major injuries, so there's a non-zero chance that Edwards could carve out a significant role in BAL. |
166 | RB47 | JD McKissic | RB | WAS | |
167 | RB48 | Tyrion Davis-Price | RB | SF | Davis-Price has experience in zone schemes and is a powerful runner. As a potential goal-line option for SF, he could be a TD-dependent flex. |
168 | RB49 | Isaih Pacheco | RB | KC | Any RB tied to Mahomes piques interest. Pacheco is a tough runner and good pass protector with long-term upside with Jones on a one-year deal. |
169 | WR61 | Khalil Shakir | WR | BUF | Shakir is a versatile player who is great at creating YAC. He could quickly become a reliable outlet option for Allen and a solid PPR flex play. |
170 | RB50 | Devin Singletary | RB | BUF | BUF drafting Cook in Rd 2 doesn't bode well for Singletary's workload, but he's still a decent PPR flex with upside for this season. |
171 | RB51 | D'Onta Foreman | RB | CAR | |
172 | RB52 | Darrell Henderson | RB | LAR | |
173 | WR62 | Calvin Ridley | WR | ATL | |
174 | WR63 | Allen Lazard | WR | GB | Watson could take some targets, but Lazard likely has the most chemistry with Rodgers heading into training camp, so he has fair upside in fantasy. |
175 | TE25 | Jelani Woods | TE | IND | With his athleticism and catch radius, Woods could become a red-zone threat for IND but figures to share snaps with Alie-Cox and Granson. |
176 | TE26 | Trey McBride | TE | ARI | McBride is a good all-around TE and can make some big plays as a receiver, but he's a long-term hold given Ertz's presence in ARI. |
177 | WR64 | Jalen Tolbert | WR | DAL | Tolbert has decent speed and hands to be a deep threat but has a ways to go in developing his route-running ability. |
178 | RB53 | Tyler Allgeier | RB | ATL | Allgeier is a physical runner with good vision but lacks any elite traits. He can be an immediate contributor but probably won't see a ton of touches. |
179 | RB54 | Rachaad White | RB | TB | White has good vision and agility as a receiver with a high weekly ceiling in PPR if he becomes the complement to Fournette on third-downs. |
180 | RB55 | Hassan Haskins | RB | TEN | A big, bruising back, Haskins is a high-upside fantasy handcuff in TEN who could see a lot of snaps if Henry were to miss time in 2022. |
181 | QB36 | Baker Mayfield | QB | CLE | |
182 | QB37 | Jimmy Garoppolo | QB | SF | |
183 | WR65 | Justyn Ross | WR | KC | Ross's neck condition and surgery caused him to go undrafted, but if healthy, he can be a dominant WR prospect and is paired up with Mahomes. |
184 | WR66 | Tyler Boyd | WR | CIN | |
185 | WR67 | DeVante Parker | WR | NE | |
186 | WR68 | Jakobi Meyers | WR | NE | |
187 | RB56 | Trey Sermon | RB | SF | |
188 | RB57 | Chuba Hubbard | RB | CAR | |
189 | RB58 | James Robinson | RB | JAX | |
190 | WR69 | Will Fuller | WR | FA | |
191 | WR70 | Odell Beckham | WR | FA | |
192 | RB59 | Kenneth Gainwell | RB | PHI | |
193 | RB60 | Jamaal Williams | RB | DET | |
194 | QB38 | Carson Strong | QB | PHI | Questions about his knee make him a risky prospect, but he can make reads and has the arm strength to become a quality starting QB if healthy. |
195 | WR71 | Zay Jones | WR | JAX | |
196 | WR72 | Tyquan Thornton | WR | NE | Thornton's speed gives NE's offense a deep threat, but at best he'll be a boom or bust WR3 option in fantasy with NE favoring a run-heavy offense. |
197 | RB61 | Nyheim Hines | RB | IND | |
198 | RB62 | Samaje Perine | RB | CIN | |
199 | RB63 | Chris Evans | RB | CIN | |
200 | RB64 | Kene Nwangwu | RB | MIN |

Where do you think guys like Lawrence, Harris, Etienne and Fields will rank in dynasty superflex?
I currently have Lawrence at QB5 just ahead of Jackson. A bit lower on Fields, so just ahead of Mayfield and Rodgers.
I’m still looking at RB film, but as of now I’d say Harris and Etienne are similar in value to the tier of 2020 rookie RBs like Dobbins and Gibson, though obviously landing spot will play a factor.
These rankings will be updated to account for free agency movements and again after the NFL Draft to include the rookies.
great work thank you
Thanks! Stay tuned for the post-free agency update in a couple of months!
