Adam Rank provides a detailed ranking of the top 150 fantasy football flex options for the 2024 season, focusing on running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends. The rankings are based on a 0.5 PPR scoring format, with an update on player injury designations (questionable, doubtful, or out) added as teams release official reports. This information is crucial for fantasy managers in setting their lineups.
Saquon Barkley leads the rankings, followed closely by Derrick Henry, who is returning after the Ravens’ bye. Henry is poised for a strong performance against the Giants, who are allowing a substantial 141.7 rushing yards per game. Alvin Kamara is also highlighted, facing the Washington Commanders, with a strong chance of continuing his excellent season. Chase Brown and Ja’Marr Chase round out the top five, with Chase a key player for the Cincinnati Bengals in a tough matchup against the Tennessee Titans.
Amon-Ra St. Brown, with nine receiving touchdowns on the season, is another standout. He faces the Buffalo Bills, who have struggled against the passing game, allowing multiple touchdowns in four of their last five contests. Similarly, Jahmyr Gibbs has been performing exceptionally well, with a notable average of nearly six yards per rush in his recent games. De’Von Achane has also been a consistent fantasy producer, contributing significantly to fantasy rosters since Week 8.
The rankings also include insightful analysis of matchups, such as the favorable conditions for Falcons WR Drake London, who’s averaging 11.5 targets per game since Week 10. Meanwhile, Rams WR Cooper Kupp has historically thrived against the 49ers, making him a strong option despite the tough matchup. Joe Mixon, returning after the Texans’ bye, faces a challenging task against the Miami Dolphins, who have kept running backs in check for much of the season.
As the season progresses, players like Sincere McCormick and Ladd McConkey are gaining attention due to their rising roles and favorable matchups. Fantasy managers are advised to consider these players, especially for teams needing depth in their lineups as the playoffs approach.
