Week 1 Fantasy Superflex rankings
by Billy HeyenSuperflex leagues create all types of fantasy football lineup decisions that never existed before you had the choice of putting a second QB in your starting lineup. It's likely many superflexowners are new to the format heading into Week 1 of 2020, so we have rankingsdesigned to make that final start-sit decision a winning one.
The trickiest part of making the superflex decision is wrapping your brain around how fantasy scoring really works (and of course, your league could be different than the non-PPR, four-point passing TD leagues that we ranked for here). A very bad QB day in the 2020 NFL is 150 yards and a touchdown. That's 10 fantasy points. In non-ppr scoring, that's either 100 yards or 40 and a score for a skill-position player.
WEEK 1 STANDARD RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
So, yes, you'll find all 32 starting NFL quarterbacks in our superflex rankings. If a bad day is 10 fantasy points for Sam Darnold, that means a good one is 20. And 20 fantasy points is that much harder to come by for some of the tight ends, wide receivers, and running backs near the bottom of our rankings. If you're in any doubt at all for what to do with your superflex spot, the answer is probably to play a quarterback.
WEEK 1 PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
These rankings can also serve as a one-stop shop for two-QB leagues to set their lineups. While you don't have an option whether or not to play a second quarterback, you still have that decision and likely a regular flex decision to make, all of which comes together in one giant rankings list right here.
