Fantasy Football FLEX Rankings: Top 150

Fantasy Football FLEX Rankings: Top 150 image

One of the most difficult parts of formulating a draft strategy is knowing exactly when to take players at certain positions. While we have given you positional rankings and a top 200 this offseason, it can be difficult to figure navigate a top 200 once quarterbacks start coming off the board. Some prefer just to look at cheat sheets that contain FLEX players, and they supplement that with QB rankings and take a passer when they feel it necessary.

With that said, FLEX rankings can be critical. It’s important to know what tiers players are in relating to their position, but seeing how they group with other skill position fantasy options is also nice. And if you’re torn between taking a receiver or a running back, you can take a look at how they stack up against one another in these rankings and how the board is shaping out below them. That can do a lot to help a decision get made, as it takes the pesky QBs (and D/STs and kickers) out of the equation and clarifies things just a bit more.
