Week 1 Fantasy FLEX rankings

Week 1 Fantasy FLEX rankings image

Sometimes the player that wins or loses a fantasy football matchup is the guy in your FLEX spot. In Week 1, you may think you have that all figured out. Whichever RB/WR/TE you drafted after those starting spots was automatically placed into that spot, but you might want to think a bit more about it when making your final start 'em, sit 'em call.

It could come down to choosing between Sony Michel and Dede Westbrook, or maybe even a second tight end if you drafted weird. Whatever the case, you'll want to put your best lineup out there, and sometimes it can be tough to compare across positions. 

Week 1 Non-PPR Rankings:

Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST  | Kicker

That's why we put these FLEX rankings together, to help you make those tough, last-minute lineup choices. Good luck!

Reminder: Check back for rankings updates throughout the week.
