Picking a player to start at the FLEX position is never easy. With so many injuries across the league knocking out notable players -- or at least rendering some to be limited or the dreaded "game-time decision" -- fantasy football owners are stressing more now than ever as they look to make the right start 'em, sit 'em decisions in the second week of the fantasy playoffs. And that's what our Week 15 fantasy FLEX rankings are here to help you with.
With no byes plaguing fantasy owners anymore, the FLEX rankings are more balanced than usual, seeing about an equal split of RBs and WRs. Of course, key injuries are also weighing heavy on the rankings, as Melvin Gordon, Mett Breida, James Conner, LeSean McCoy, Kerryon Johnson, Tyreek Hill, Odell Beckham Jr., and more are all questionable. That will open up some opportunities for other lesser-known players, and that makes critical lineup decisions even more difficult.
Week 15 Rankings:
Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End | D/ST | Kicker
Some of these players that may see their stock rise in the coming days include Damien Williams, who may be one of the few backs left standing in Kansas City, Jeff Wilson Jr., who may or may not have to share a workload with the aforementioned Breida, and Sterling Shepard, who would be the No. 1 receiver in a good matchup against the Titans if Odell Beckham Jr. is out. These rankings will be updated throughout the week to help you figure out who to start and sit in Week 15 of the fantasy football season.
Reminder: For more analysis for individual players, check out our standard running back, wide receiver, and tight end rankings.
