As we enter Week 15 of the 2024 NFL season, fantasy football players are gearing up for the playoffs, with a particular focus on PPR (points per reception) Superflex formats. These leagues often prioritize second quarterbacks in starting lineups, which significantly influences rankings. While it may seem unusual for quarterbacks to rank higher than typical RB2 or WR2 options, their potential scoring impact in these formats makes this placement reasonable.
At the top of the rankings, Lamar Jackson remains the top fantasy scorer, despite a recent bye week. Josh Allen follows closely behind, bolstered by a massive 51.88 points in Week 14, although his upcoming matchup with Detroit presents a tougher challenge. Joe Burrow has been consistently elite, with five consecutive games of three or more passing touchdowns. Jayden Daniels, a rookie quarterback for the Commanders, comes in at QB4, following a bye week and is ready to face the Saints. Jalen Hurts rounds out the top five, with his rushing touchdowns ensuring his continued high ranking despite modest passing numbers in recent weeks.
For the wide receivers, Ja’Marr Chase leads the pack with a 36.9 PPR average over his last four games. Bijan Robinson remains the top-ranked running back at RB1, despite challenges within his team’s offense, consistently reaching 20 PPR points in seven of eight games. Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, and Joe Mixon round out the top running backs, while Justin Jefferson, who found the end zone twice in his last game, ranks just below Chase in the wide receiver category.
The rankings also feature key names like Justin Herbert and Jared Goff in the mid-tier quarterback spots. Running backs like Josh Jacobs, De’Von Achane, and David Montgomery continue to impress with consistent performances. Players like Tyreek Hill and Amon-Ra St. Brown are still trusted wide receiver options, despite occasional dips in production. For those in need of tight end help, Brock Bowers and Trey McBride have emerged as strong contenders.
In the flex rankings, players like Ja’Marr Chase, Bijan Robinson, and Derrick Henry are top choices for optimal fantasy production, while rookies like Jordan Addison and Malik Nabers also make significant impacts. The article encourages managers to trust established stars and avoid overthinking tough matchups in this crucial fantasy playoff period.
