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!These ranks have been refreshed to take out players from Thursday’s Patriots-Bears game.Teams on bye in Week 7: Bills, Chargers, Commanders, JaguarsWeek 7 superflex rankings (includes quarterbacks) 1. Jahmyr Gibbs, RB1 vs GBHe scored 17.7 fantasy points in his worst game this season. Week 7 will not be his worst game. 2. Puka Nacua, WR1 @ LVOnly seven targets in Week 6, but expect at least double that most weeks now, with Davante Adams out. 3.

Ja’Marr Chase, WR2 @ BAL 4. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR3 vs KC 5. Kenneth Walker III, RB2 @ SEAHe spent four seasons in Seattle. This is a revenge game.

Then again, it has been a revenge season for him. 6. Christian McCaffrey, RB3 @ ATLSeason-high volume after Mike Evans left Monday. Be careful what you wish for, investors. 7. Brock Purdy, QB1 @ ATLNaysayers can point to three consecutive games with fewer than 20 points.

We’re not naysayers here. 8. Jordan Love, QB2 @ DET 9. Drake Maye, QB3 @ CHIHis season trajectory sure changed. So did the ease of schedule, but he should thrive again this week. 10.

Bijan Robinson, RB4 vs SFHow does this fellow get only 11 touches in a football game? The Falcons must do better this week. 11. Derrick Henry, RB5 vs CIN 12. Kyren Williams, RB6 @ LVPerhaps the loss of Davante Adams pushes the Rams to run more.

The current plan is not working. 13. Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR4 vs GBNo trepidation here, but he really has not lit up the Packers in recent seasons. 14. Justin Jefferson, WR5 vs IND 15.

CeeDee Lamb, WR6 @ PHI 16. Brock Bowers, TE1 vs LARHis targets have dropped each of the past three weeks. Expect that streak to end this week. 17. Lamar Jackson, QB4 vs CIN 18.

Joe Burrow, QB5 @ BAL 19. C.J. Stroud, QB6 vs NYGNobody thought he would have the fifth-most points among QBs. It looks legit, though. 20.

Jared Goff, QB7 vs GB 21. Matthew Stafford, QB8 @ LVNobody is throwing more than he is, but losing Adams is a really big deal. 22. Malik Nabers, WR7 @ HOUHe looks awesome lately, but should we forget what J.J. McCarthy (if named the starter) did to Justin Jefferson last season? 23.

Christian Watson, WR8 @ DET 24. Matthew Golden, WR9 @ DET 25. Caleb Williams, QB9 vs NEHe completed 83.3% of passes in Week 6. That’s awesome.

He also ran just four times for 3 yards. Hmmm. 26. Bryce Young, QB10 vs TB 27. Aaron Rodgers, QB11 @ NOLove the matchup at New Orleans, but we must assume the Steelers don’t want him throwing 49 times again. 28.

Kyler Murray, QB12 vs INDHe faces the Colts this week, then the Lions. Murray has little excuse to not produce big numbers. 29. Jaylen Warren, RB7 @ NOVolume was down a bit in Week 6, even though the Steelers said it would not happen. Hmmm. 30.

Javonte Williams, RB8 @ PHIHe has become so touchdown-dependent. Perhaps investors will notice only if he doesn’t score this week. 31. Zay Flowers, WR10 vs CINPlenty of targets lately, but he really needs his starting QB to return. 32. Nico Collins, WR11 vs NYG 33.

Drake London, WR12 vs SF 34. Dak Prescott, QB13 @ PHI 35. Patrick Mahomes, QB14 @ SEA 36. Kirk Cousins, QB15 vs LARDon’t laugh.

Only six QBs boast more fantasy points. He’s producing in tough matchups, too. 37. Jonathan Taylor, RB9 @ MINHe plays the Vikings. It’s hard to make a case to ever sit him, but this would be the case to do so. 38.

Ashton Jeanty, RB10 vs LAROnly the receiving work keeps him from investor panic. It’s not a bad time to trade him. 39. Trey McBride, TE2 vs DEN 40. DeVonta Smith, WR13 vs DALWe sure would like 14 targets every week.

Facing the Cowboys this Monday should work well for him. 41. Tetairoa McMillan, WR14 vs TB 42. Chris Olave, WR15 vs PITThis passing game has not been great the past two games. If it happens this week, then we worry. 43.

Garrett Wilson, WR16 vs MIA 44. A.J. Brown, WR17 @ CHI 45. Tyler Shough, QB16 vs PIT 46.

Bo Nix, QB17 @ ARIYou shouldn’t play him, but you may need to with Josh Allen, Jayden Daniels and Trevor Lawrence on bye. 47. D’Andre Swift, RB11 vs NEThree TDs the past two games masks some recent inefficiency. Don’t worry yet. 48. Breece Hall, RB12 vs MIAA quad injury has cost him three games already, and his backup is playing well.

It’s time to return. 49. Saquon Barkley, RB13 vs DALWhen he returns, he will find a backup QB and a sputtering offensive line. He needs a real-life trade. 50. Chase Brown, RB14 @ BAL 51.

Chuba Hubbard, RB15 vs TB 52. Geno Smith, QB18 vs MIA 53. Tanner McKee, QB19 vs DALThe matchup with Dallas keeps him potentially relevant this week, but perhaps not beyond that. 54. J.J.

McCarthy, QB20 @ HOUHe delivered an awesome fourth quarter in relief, but it is still tough to trust him in fantasy. 55. George Kittle, TE3 @ ATL 56. Isaiah Likely, TE4 @ HOU 57. Baker Mayfield, QB21 @ CAR 58.
