Fantasy football flex and superflex rankings for Week 5

play
Daniel Dopp: Michael Wilson is a fantasy football must-start in Week 5 (0:45)

Welcome to Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season and our weekly PPR fantasy football superflex rankings. We know many of you compete in superflex formats that invite/covet second quarterbacks in starting lineups, and these rankings account for that. It might look odd to see the lowest-ranked fantasy passers ahead of typical RB2 and WR2 options, but the potential scoring impact demands it.

If your league is a standard flex, note that rankings without QBs appear below the superflex rankings. However you prefer to play, good luck this week!

Week 5 superflex rankings (includes quarterbacks)

1. Jahmyr Gibbs, RB1 @ ARI

Disappointing game against the Panthers, and it was still 17.7 points.


2. Bijan Robinson, RB2 vs BAL

He has 63 fantasy points the past two weeks, and we can make a case for him as No. 1.


3. Puka Nacua, WR1 vs BUF

Just wait until he starts scoring receiving touchdowns. They are coming.


4. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR2 vs SF

Fantasy's No. 1 scorer entering Week 5. Will this pace continue?


5. Ja'Marr Chase, WR3 @ MIA

A concussion might keep him from playing. If he plays, leave him active.


6. Josh Allen, QB1 @ LAR

Tough opponent in the Rams, but with his rushing ability, you never sit him.


7. Joe Burrow, QB2 @ MIA

Some concern about his stats if his top WRs cannot play, but would you really sit him?


8. Jayden Daniels, QB3 vs NYG

Likely to return from his elbow injury, but we will always worry about him finishing games.


9. Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR4 @ ARI


10. CeeDee Lamb, WR5 vs TB


11. Jared Goff, QB4 @ ARI


12. Trevor Lawrence, QB5 vs PHI

A lack of rushing numbers has him outside the top 10 QB scorers. We like the matchup with the Eagles.


13. Jonathan Taylor, RB3 @ PIT

He has multiple touchdowns in three of four games, but are the Colts managing his volume?


14. Derrick Henry, RB4 @ ATL

He has fewer than 100 rushing yards in three straight games, but he keeps converting the touchdowns.


15. Justin Jefferson, WR6 @ NO

Expected to return this week from an ankle injury. The Saints defense has not been great lately.


16. Trey McBride, TE1 vs DET

He should really enjoy facing the Lions defense. Everyone else is.


17. Matthew Stafford, QB6 vs BUF

It took him a while to get the numbers against the Eagles. At some point, this offense will really shine.


18. Brock Purdy, QB7 @ SEA

Don't be scared to trust him versus the Seahawks. He has delivered against Seattle before.


19. Dak Prescott, QB8 vs TB


20. Jacoby Brissett, QB9 vs DET


21. Drake Maye, QB10 vs LV


22. Kyren Williams, RB5 vs BUF


23. Javonte Williams, RB6 vs TB


24. Christian McCaffrey, RB7 @ SEA

The 49ers are managing his volume, as he is 26th in rushing attempts with little sign of change coming.


25. Ashton Jeanty, RB8 @ NE

Averaging only 3.4 yards per rush, but he is getting enough opportunity that we don't really notice.


26. James Cook III, RB9 @ LAR

He is getting ample rushing attempts and yards, but only 24 receiving yards so far is concerning.


27. Chase Brown, RB10 @ MIA

Rough Week 4 game, but this week he faces the Dolphins. Keep him active.


28. Brock Bowers, TE2 @ NE

We always like to see a player flooded with targets. Bowers is dominant.


29. Tyler Shough, QB11 vs MIN

It's fine with us if he throws 40 times each week. With this run game and defense, he must.


30. Bo Nix, QB12 @ LAC

He has only 25 rushing yards so far. Without big passing numbers, we are noticing.


31. Jalen Hurts, QB13 @ JAX

Just because you drafted Hurts early does not mean you must keep him active now. The Eagles are a mess.


32. Chris Olave, WR7 vs MIN


33. Nico Collins, WR8 @ TEN


34. Drake London, WR9 vs BAL


35. Bucky Irving, RB11 @ DAL

Facing the Cowboys should help him, but the rookie QB must throw to him more.


36. Aaron Jones Sr., RB12 @ NO

Worry about his durability in a month. For now, the volume and production are there.


37. Deshaun Watson, QB14 @ NYJ

He is averaging 16.7 fantasy points per game, far more than most expected.


38. Jordan Love, QB15 vs CHI

Watson is outscoring Love, by the way.


39. Aaron Rodgers, QB16 vs IND

He has flirted with 300 passing yards in consecutive weeks. Again, not so bad.


40. Kyler Murray, QB17 @ NO

I have to admit his projections always seem too generous to me. I am not investing.


41. Michael Wilson, WR10 vs DET


42. Davante Adams, WR11 vs BUF


43. Sam Darnold, QB18 vs SF


44. Kirk Cousins, QB19 @ NE

He is providing 20 fantasy points each week. The Patriots are a tough foe, but Cousins looks legit.


45. C.J. Stroud, QB20 @ TEN

He looked great in Week 4, but it was against the Cowboys. He better look great versus the Titans, too.


46. Tyson Bagent, QB21 @ GB

We still haven't seen numbers from him, but perhaps the Packers allow them this week.


47. Tee Higgins, WR12 @ MIA

An adductor injury makes him questionable, but if he plays against the Dolphins, keep him active.


48. Zay Flowers, WR13 @ ATL

The quarterback situation would affect his value, but he's good enough regardless of passer.


49. Jeremiyah Love, RB13 vs DET


50. Quinshon Judkins, RB14 @ NYJ


51. Jaylen Warren, RB15 vs IND


52. Breece Hall, RB16 vs CLE


53. D'Andre Swift, RB17 @ GB

Fumbles and losing goal-line work are not likely to derail a positive season.


54. Garrett Wilson, WR14 vs CLE

Let's assume he sees more than the four targets he did last week.


55. Parker Washington, WR15 vs PHI

Let's assume his quiet Week 4 will not continue in London against the Eagles.


56. Michael Penix Jr., QB22 vs BAL

An efficient start to his season, with bigger numbers still possible. Not a must-start option.


57. Justin Herbert, QB23 vs DEN

What a brutal start to his promising season, with more interceptions than TD passes.


58. Jameis Winston, QB24 @ WSH


59. Geno Smith, QB25 vs CLE


60. Bhayshul Tuten, RB18 vs PHI


61. Emanuel Wilson, RB19 vs SF


62. Malik Nabers, WR16 @ WSH
