Fantasy football flex and superflex rankings for Week 8

play
Is Courtland Sutton back on the flex radar? (0:44)

Welcome to Week 8 of the 2026 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, and 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 a standard flex, note that rankings without QBs appear below the superflex rankings. However you prefer to play, good luck this week!

These ranks have been refreshed to take out players from Thursday's Panthers-Packers game.

Teams on bye in Week 8: 49ers, Giants, Saints, Texans

Week 8 superflex rankings (includes quarterbacks)

1. Jahmyr Gibbs, RB1 vs MIN

The Vikings are the best defensive team, but Gibbs is the best player in fantasy. Try not to think about it.


2. Josh Allen, QB1 vs BAL

Again, matchups may not matter to him, but he should be able to shred the Ravens defense.


3. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR1 vs CHI

The schedule isn't an issue here. He plays Monday against the Bears.


4. Drake Maye, QB2 @ MIA

Worry about his schedule in a month. For this week, enjoy the numbers against the Dolphins.


5. Joe Burrow, QB3 vs TEN

He has increased his fantasy point total in each game this season. Can the Titans end the streak?


6. Lamar Jackson, QB4 @ BUF

Expect he (finally) returns from a sprained ankle, but do not presume he runs.


7. Jayden Daniels, QB5 vs PHI


8. Puka Nacua, WR2 vs LAC


9. Ja'Marr Chase, WR3 vs TEN


10. Trevor Lawrence, QB6 vs IND


11. Dak Prescott, QB7 vs ARI

He looked great against the Eagles, and he should look great against the Cardinals this week.


12. Kenneth Walker III, RB2 @ DEN

The Seahawks stymied him, now come the Broncos. Walker ran for 173 yards against Denver in Week 1.


13. Bijan Robinson, RB3 @ TB

The Buccaneers are stout versus the run, but this isn't a typical running back. Don't worry.


14. Javonte Williams, RB4 vs ARI

The Cowboys showed Monday that they can run the football. They just have to stick with this plan.


15. James Cook III, RB5 vs BAL


16. CeeDee Lamb, WR4 vs ARI


17. Zay Flowers, WR5 @ BUF


18. Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR6 vs MIN


19. Drake London, WR7 @ TB

He has double-digit targets in four of five games. Let's assume the Falcons keep that going.


20. Justin Jefferson, WR8 @ DET

Two good games, three bad ones this season. One would think facing the Lions will be a good game.


21. Trey McBride, TE1 @ DAL

Only two wide receivers have more fantasy points this season. This is an historic player.


22. Matthew Stafford, QB8 vs LAC

He faces the Chargers. They're bad, but they do play decent defense. Don't assume Stafford has a monster game.


23. Derrick Henry, RB6 @ BUF

The Bills permit ample fantasy points to running backs. If Henry struggles, it is time for concern.


24. Jared Goff, QB9 vs MIN


25. Kyren Williams, RB7 vs LAC


26. Bucky Irving, RB8 vs ATL


27. Brock Bowers, TE2 @ NYJ


28. Geno Smith, QB10 vs LV


29. Kyler Murray, QB11 @ DET

There is little sign of a QB1 lurking. Perhaps facing the Lions will alter that.


30. Kirk Cousins, QB12 @ NYJ

Losing the starting role to Fernando Mendoza is imminent, but not this week.


31. Parker Washington, WR9 vs IND


32. Tee Higgins, WR10 vs TEN


33. Ashton Jeanty, RB9 @ NYJ

Terribly inefficient on rushing attempts, but the receiving work keeps him productive.


34. Jonathan Taylor, RB10 @ JAX

This offense is sputtering, but Taylor has reached 90 rushing yards in five of seven games.


35. Chase Brown, RB11 vs TEN

We can make a case to bench this underachiever, but not really against the Titans.


36. Jaylen Warren, RB12 vs CLE

The volume was fine in Week 7. He rushed for 93 yards in the first Browns matchup.


37. Caleb Williams, QB13 @ SEA


38. Malik Willis, QB14 vs NE

He has 111 rushing yards the past two games, with TD runs in each. That's why he ranks well.


39. Breece Hall, RB13 vs LV

A quad injury has already cost him four games. Let's assume nothing here.


40. Jacoby Brissett, QB15 @ DAL


41. Baker Mayfield, QB16 vs ATL


42. Michael Penix Jr., QB17 @ TB

Can he make it three consecutive games with three TD passes? It seems unlikely.


43. Aaron Rodgers, QB18 vs CLE

He scored 21.96 points in the first Browns meeting. You might want to play him.


44. Patrick Mahomes, QB19 @ DEN

He scored 21.66 points in the first Broncos meeting, but that included a rushing TD. You don't have to play him.


45. Bhayshul Tuten, RB14 vs IND

His best game of the season came right before the bye week. Tuten is an ascending option.


46. Ollie Gordon II, RB15 vs NE

He has touchdowns in four consecutive games and is proof a Miami RB could succeed this season.


47. Garrett Wilson, WR11 vs LV

When WRs complain about targets, they get more targets the following week. Or so it seems.


48. George Pickens, WR12 vs ARI


49. Sam Darnold, QB20 vs CHI


50. Bo Nix, QB21 vs KC


51. Tony Pollard, RB16 @ CIN


52. D'Andre Swift, RB17 @ SEA
