Updated 2019 Fantasy Football Rankings: FLEX image

When it comes to fantasy football’s FLEX position, it often seems as if there isn’t any draft strategy at all. Whichever of your RB/WR/TE backups falls into the FLEX spot naturally is who you go with. But if you're just looking at positional rankings, it can be tough to compare players. That’s where this cheat sheet comes in handy. Instead of having to weave through a top 200 crowded with QBs, D/STs, and even kickers, you can just use this list.

FLEX rankings don’t just matter for one spot on your roster. After your starting lineup is full, they basically matter for every selection you make thereafter (save for a backup quarterback...unless you're in a SuperFLEX league). Sure, you’ll want a good roster balance between running backs, wide receivers and tight ends, but you also don’t want to get forced into picking one or the other just because it’s time to pick a particular spot.

2019 STANDARD RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back Wide Receiver | Tight End | D/ST | Kicker | Top 200

On draft day, come right here when you need to decide between two second-year players like Calvin Ridley and Phillip Lindsay, or between two Patriots like Julian Edelman and James White.

DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Ultimate 2019 Fantasy Cheat Sheet

Things will change across positions as your draft day approaches, so we’ll be sure to keep this updated all preseason. 

2019 PPR RANKINGS:
Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | Top 200
