Fantasy football flex and superflex rankings for Week 9

Welcome to Week 9 of the NFL season and our weekly PPR fantasy football superflex rankings for 2022. We know many of you now compete in superflex formats that invite/covet second quarterbacks in starting lineups, so these rankings account for that. It might look odd to see the lowest-ranked fantasy passers ranked ahead of typical RB2 and WR2 options, but the potential scoring impact demands it. If your league is of the standard flex variety, just ignore the presence of quarterbacks. Regardless, good luck in Week 9 and beyond!

Week 9 byes: Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers

These rankings have been updated for news and to remove players from Thursday's Eagles-Texans game.


1. Josh Allen, Bills (QB1): Fantasy's top scorer comes off his worst game, and it was still 17.6 points!

2. Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs (QB2): Welcome back from the bye. As with Allen, his worst game is still 17 points.

3. Lamar Jackson, Ravens (QB3)

4. Justin Herbert, Chargers (QB4): Not that the rib injury seemed to hurt his stats, but coming off the bye week should help. He gets the Falcons this week.

5. Tyreek Hill, Dolphins (WR1): Remember the amazing Cooper Kupp numbers from last season? Hill may get there.

6. Cooper Kupp, Rams (WR2): Ankle injury has him questionable, but difficult matchup at Tampa Bay may be just as important.

7. Austin Ekeler, Chargers (RB1)

8. Alvin Kamara, Saints (RB2): Nary a touchdown in first five games. Now he has three. All is well again.

9. Stefon Diggs, Bills (WR3)

10. Derrick Henry, Titans (RB3): Can he just play against the Texans every week? That would be nice! Still, he's worth it versus every team.

11. Joe Burrow, Bengals (QB5): Perhaps the loss of WR Ja'Marr Chase is a bigger deal than expected. Rough Monday in Cleveland.

12. Kyler Murray, Cardinals (QB6)
