Welcome to Week 18 of the 2023 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, so 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 of the standard flex variety, just ignore the presence of quarterbacks. Regardless, good luck this week!
1. CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys (WR1): He needs 23.7 PPR points to pass the idle Christian McCaffrey for highest fantasy scorer this season!
2. Tyreek Hill, Dolphins (WR2): He hasn't scored a TD since Week 13, but the Dolphins need this win against Buffalo.
3. Dak Prescott, Cowboys (QB1): His expected strong finish versus the Commanders should mean a career high in season fantasy points.
4. Jalen Hurts, Eagles (QB2): It's hard to believe how Philadelphia's season turned, but Hurts still piles on fantasy points.
5. Josh Allen, Bills (QB3): Fantasy's top QB skewered the Dolphins for 36.5 points in their Week 4 meeting.
6. Justin Jefferson, Vikings (WR3): He scored 26.1 PPR points in Week 16 game against the Lions, and he can do it again.
7. Justin Fields, Bears (QB4): He has reached 24 points in three of four games, and he knows his final season impression matters.
8. Kyler Murray, Cardinals (QB5): The Seahawks should present a tougher defense than the Eagles, but Murray is a QB1 regardless.
9. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Lions (WR4)
10. Mike Evans, Buccaneers (WR5)
11. Saquon Barkley, Giants (RB1)
12. A.J. Brown, Eagles (WR6): He is not happy, and when wide receivers are not happy, QBs tend to over-target them.
13. Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars (QB6): A shoulder injury caused him to miss his first NFL start last week, but a repeat absence seems unlikely.
14. Jordan Love, Packers (QB7)
15. Baker Mayfield, Buccaneers (QB8)
16. Geno Smith, Seahawks (QB9)
17. Tua Tagovailoa, Dolphins (QB10): He has one top-10 QB finish in the past two-plus months, and why should we expect a big game versus the Bills?
18. Jared Goff, Lions (QB11): The Lions have little to play for, so Goff may not be the safest QB to rely on this week.
19. Davante Adams, Raiders (WR7)
20. James Conner, Cardinals (RB2): He has reached 22 PPR points in three of four games, and he needs 110 rushing yards for his first 1,000-yard season.
21. Breece Hall, Jets (RB3): Only three RBs have more PPR points this season, so he seems like an obvious play, regardless of opponent.
22. De'Von Achane, Dolphins (RB4): With Raheem Mostert not expected to play, he should see a boost in volume. And we've seen what he's capable of.
23. Joe Mixon, Bengals (RB5): His fourth season with 1,000 rushing yards is in play, so expect Mixon to go for it.
24. Rachaad White, Buccaneers (RB6): The Bucs have to win, and they should, but White has to know he needs only 85 rushing yards for 1,000, too.
25. DJ Moore, Bears (WR8)
26. DK Metcalf, Seahawks (WR9)
27. Cooper Kupp, Rams (WR10): What an odd, inconsistent season, and now we will always worry about durability with him.
28. Stefon Diggs, Bills (WR11): He has scored single-digit PPR points in six of seven games, but we have to assume better for this one.
29. Jake Browning, Bengals (QB12): Mostly competent performance this season, and the Browns can sit their key defensive stalwarts.
30. Tyrod Taylor, Giants (QB13): The way the Eagles have defended, Taylor has definite fantasy upside.
31. Easton Stick, Chargers (QB14): As with the Browns, the Chiefs are likely to rest many key players in a meaningless game.
32. Nick Mullens, Vikings (QB15)
33. Chris Olave, Saints (WR12)
34. Kenneth Walker III, Seahawks (RB7): His trouble staying on the field reminds fantasy managers he may not be a safe play.
35. James Cook, Bills (RB8): Fantasy managers would prefer more statistical consistency, as the past month has been quite all-or-next-to-nothing.
36. Bijan Robinson, Falcons (RB9): It's been a modestly disappointing season, but he can still surpass 1,000 rushing yards, and next season should be better.
37. Jahmyr Gibbs, Lions (RB10): No indication how many snaps he will get, so be cautious here.
38. Travis Etienne Jr., Jaguars (RB11): Every indication he gets every snap as Jaguars look to avoid a collapse.
39. Tony Pollard, Cowboys (RB12)
40. Zamir White, Raiders (RB13)
41. Aaron Jones, Packers (RB14): He has 247 rushing yards the past two games, reminding fantasy managers of his RB1 talent.
42. Derek Carr, Saints (QB16): Expectations were not great for him in fantasy, and he was still underwhelming.
43. Sam Howell, Commanders (QB17):
44. Garrett Wilson, Jets (WR13): He needs seven receptions to get to 100, but the Patriots likely know this as well.
45. Jeff Driskel, Browns (QB18):
46. Calvin Ridley, Jaguars (WR14): Proof that players switching organizations don't always live up to statistical expectations.
47. DeAndre Hopkins, Titans (WR15): More proof, but at least Hopkins made it to 1,000 receiving yards.
48. Ja'Marr Chase, Bengals (WR16):
49. Chuba Hubbard, Panthers (RB15)
50. Aidan O'Connell, Raiders (QB19)
51. Ryan Tannehill, Titans (QB20):
52. Jarrett Stidham, Broncos (QB21): This potential starter in 2024 finishes with an appealing matchup with the Raiders.
53. Evan Engram, Jaguars (TE1): He leads all tight ends in targets and receptions, and should finish well.
54. Trey McBride, Cardinals (TE2): He will finish as a top-10 TE, with nearly all the production in the second half of the season.
55. Sam LaPorta, Lions (TE3)
56. Chris Godwin, Buccaneers (WR17)
57. Tyler Lockett, Seahawks (WR18)
58. Terry McLaurin, Commanders (WR19): He has two touchdowns in the past three games, bringing his season total to four.
59. Ezekiel Elliott, Patriots (RB16): He has been a useful flex option for a month, so it all depends on his volume this week.
60. David Montgomery, Lions (RB17): This touchdown maker reaches double-digit PPR points every week.
61. Austin Ekeler, Chargers (RB18): This former touchdown maker scored six times this season, and not so much lately.
62. Kenneth Gainwell, Eagles (RB19)
63. Derrick Henry, Titans (RB20)
64. Jamaal Williams, Saints (RB21):
65. Desmond Ridder, Falcons (QB22)
66. Blaine Gabbert, Chiefs (QB23)
67. Khalil Herbert, Bears (RB22): He has run for 236 yards and two TDs the past fortnight, and he may be underrated in fantasy.
68. Brian Robinson Jr., Commanders (RB23)
69. Sam Darnold, 49ers (QB24)
70. Ty Chandler, Vikings (RB24)
71. Bryce Young, Panthers (QB25): It's been a rough rookie season and he's not recommended for Week 18, but do not give up on the future.
72. Carson Wentz, Rams (QB26)
73. Adam Thielen, Panthers (WR20): His season was a story of two halves, and hopefully you have others to rely on this week.
74. Trevor Siemian, Jets (QB27):
75. Jordan Addison, Vikings (WR21)
76. Jake Ferguson, Cowboys (TE4)
77. Bailey Zappe, Patriots (QB28)
