Week 4 Fantasy Flex Rankings

There's no start 'em, sit 'em decision more difficult for fantasy football owners every week than the flex spot. Each week, owners usually have a few must-starts, whether that's a couple of RBs and a couple of WRs, but filling that flex spot can get tricky. Do you go with the more talented player or the player with the better matchup? A running back who gets consistent touches or a boom-or-bust receiver? That lineup decision could make or break some fantasy lineups, so it's important to know exactly how top RBs, WRs, and even TEs compare.

This week, there are quite a few good matchups for receivers, so wideouts are a bit higher than they might normally be. Players in the Falcons-Packers, Dolphins-Seahawks, and Cowboys-Browns games all will have a chance to rack up some serious yardage, so their high ceilings make them appealing. Of course, if you need a high-floor player, there are plenty of those mixed in. Guaranteed touches is never a bad thing.

WEEK 4 FANTASY: SleepersBusts | Start 'em, sit 'em

Before you get through the rankings, here's a reminder to always make sure you're keeping your late-game/"questionable" players in the flex spot so you have maximum flexibility in case a surprise injury keeps someone out of your lineup. You'll have the option to play someone from any position that way, and that could potentially cause you to avoid having to make a costly roster move.

WEEK 4 PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight End | D/ST | Kicker

Without further ado, here are our Week 4 flex rankings.
