Welcome to fantasy football Week 7 and the latest edition of the PPR flex rankings. For those new to the weekly article, we combine the best of the running backs, wide receivers and tight ends into one tidy guide and then advise fantasy managers to do whatever they want! Hey, these are your teams, after all, and not every scoring format is ESPN standard PPR. In addition, news could alter values as the week goes on. Regardless, do your best and good luck!
1. Alvin Kamara, RB, Saints:
2. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys: Fumble! Let us assume Elliott is well aware of his Monday issues and will be extra careful in Washington. Again, he loves running on this team.
3. Derrick Henry, RB, Titans: He loves running on pretty much every team.
4. Aaron Jones, RB, Packers
5. DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Cardinals: Quiet performance versus Dallas, which is odd considering it was Dallas. Still, figure he bounces back with more than two catches.
6. Davante Adams, WR, Packers: The Tampa loss was one of those days, but at least he saw 10 targets. Do not panic here.
7. Julio Jones, WR, Falcons
8. Michael Thomas, WR, Saints: It is Week 7 and he has three receptions for 17 yards this season. Still, we rank him here for good reason.
9. Joe Mixon, RB, Bengals
10. Mike Davis, RB, Panthers: Might be his last hurrah before Christian McCaffrey returns, and then it will be interesting to see if Davis remains relevant.
11. James Conner, RB, Steelers: Bounced back nicely from Week 1, and sees enough volume to pile on the rushing yards each game.
12. Keenan Allen, WR, Chargers
13. Stefon Diggs, WR, Bills: Josh Allen needs to get back on track, but Diggs should get numbers versus a weak opponent.
14. Calvin Ridley, WR, Falcons: Julio is back, but that just means more attention his way. Ridley scored on Sunday as well.
15. Tyreek Hill, WR, Chiefs
16. DK Metcalf, WR, Seahawks
17. Kareem Hunt, RB, Browns: Oddly enough, little has changed for him statistically with Nick Chubb out. Hunt enjoyed the Week 2 game with the Bengals.
18. Josh Jacobs, RB, Raiders
19. Chris Carson, RB, Seahawks
20. A.J. Brown, WR, Titans: Those that moved on when he was hurt obviously chose poorly. He and Ryan Tannehill are unstoppable.
21. Kenny Golladay, WR, Lions: His first game sans a touchdown, but he made up for it with 100 receiving yards. Playing versus Atlanta should not be a problem.
22. Allen Robinson II, WR, Bears
23. Tyler Lockett, WR, Seahawks
24. James Robinson, RB, Jaguars: Not piling on the rushing yards lately, but with the receptions, he could be an RB1 without worry.
25. Ronald Jones II, RB, Buccaneers: More than 100 rushing yards in three consecutive, so if he starts sharing touches, then what are we even doing here?
26. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, Chiefs: He figures to start sharing touches, probably near the goal line at the least.
27. Travis Kelce, TE, Chiefs
28. Todd Gurley II, RB, Falcons
29. Chris Godwin, WR, Buccaneers: You might be concerned, but hey, now he is healthy. The best is yet to come.
30. Robby Anderson, WR, Panthers
31. Will Fuller V, WR, Texans: Has touchdowns in four consecutive weeks. So talented, but we knew all along he could play. Could he play all 16?
32. Amari Cooper, WR, Cowboys: His numbers did not suffer with Andy Dalton slinging the football, at least for one game.
33. Mike Evans, WR, Buccaneers
34. George Kittle, TE, 49ers
35. Terry McLaurin, WR, Washington: Double-digit targets in three of six games. Perhaps they get him a quarterback next season.
36. Robert Woods, WR, Rams
37. Cooper Kupp, WR, Rams
38. David Johnson, RB, Texans: On his way to more than 1,000 rushing yards but only 32 receptions. This one makes little sense.
39. David Montgomery, RB, Bears: Not bad, and he is catching passes with Tarik Cohen out, but we still expected more.
40. Kenyan Drake, RB, Cardinals: Signature statistical performance versus Dallas, but the problem is he doesn't get to play them again. Might be a wise time to seek trade.
41. Tyler Boyd, WR, Bengals
42. Darren Waller, TE, Raiders
43. DJ Chark Jr., WR, Jaguars
44. Jamison Crowder, WR, Jets: The most useful fantasy Jet has been targeted in double digits in all four of his games. That is impressive.
45. D'Andre Swift, RB, Lions: Four weeks of nothing in the running game and then an incredible breakout. Trust him, but the Lions could ruin this, too.
46. Antonio Gibson, RB, Washington: Nine rushing attempts are simply not enough. Not sure what the offensive decision-makers are doing here.
47. DJ Moore, WR, Panthers
48. Travis Fulgham, WR, Eagles: When Carson Wentz throws, it tends to go to him now. Who else is left?
49. Odell Beckham Jr., WR, Browns
50. Jerick McKinnon, RB, 49ers: No Raheem Mostert for a while, so McKinnon, who did next to nothing the past two games, gets another shot to shine.
51. Justin Jackson, RB, Chargers: The Chargers running back to trust now, until Austin Ekeler returns.
52. James White, RB, Patriots
53. Boston Scott, RB, Eagles: No Miles Sanders for at least a week, so Scott should at least factor in the passing game. In theory, at least.
54. Melvin Gordon III, RB, Broncos: Missed Week 6 and now there might be a time-share. Or there might not be a time-share. Denver is not saying. Risky.
55. Chase Claypool, WR, Steelers
56. JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, Steelers: The rookie is Pittsburgh's top wide receiver now? Well, prove this narrative wrong, JuJu!
57. Devin Singletary, RB, Bills: Huge disappointment this season, and it's not the fault of the rookie in the backfield, or the quarterback. Singletary just looks ordinary.
58. Le'Veon Bell, RB, Chiefs: Will he be ordinary? Time for him to resurrect his career, but look for limited volume initially.
59. J.D. McKissic, RB, Washington: Steady diet of receptions could make him the team's top PPR running back very soon.
60. Mike Williams, WR, Chargers
61. Tee Higgins, WR, Bengals: Clemson product improving each week and could become the top Joe Burrow target soon.
62. Deebo Samuel, WR, 49ers
63. Darius Slayton, WR, Giants
64. Devonta Freeman, RB, Giants: Slayton and Freeman should have their way with an ordinary Philly defense that offers little pass rush.
65. Joshua Kelley, RB, Chargers
66. Darrell Henderson Jr., RB, Rams: So much for that Cam Akers breakout. Nothing wrong with Henderson, but still, he's not safe, either.
67. Brandin Cooks, WR, Texans: Not the most consistent receiver, but is coming off two excellent outings.
68. Hunter Henry, TE, Chargers
69. Jonnu Smith, TE, Titans
70. Diontae Johnson, WR, Steelers
71. Julian Edelman, WR, Patriots: Clearly not at 100% health, and this offense is struggling.
72. Latavius Murray, RB, Saints
73. Chase Edmonds, RB, Cardinals
74. Zack Moss, RB, Bills: Averaging a paltry 2.6 yards per rush, but have to assume he gets chances against the paltry Jets.
75. CeeDee Lamb, WR, Cowboys
76. Christian Kirk, WR, Cardinals: Quiet season until Monday night, so let us see if the Cards start giving him more chances.
77. Keelan Cole Sr., WR, Jaguars
78. Austin Hooper, TE, Browns
79. T.J. Hockenson, TE, Lions: Moves into the top 10 at his position despite catching a mere four passes for 26 yards the past two games. The position is not strong.
80. Adrian Peterson, RB, Lions: Touchdown runs in consecutive games, but the future is staring the Lions in the face, and it's not this Hall of Famer.
81. Frank Gore, RB, Jets
82. Damien Harris, RB, Patriots: From 100 rushing yards to 19, and pretty likely he ends up somewhere in the middle a few times coming up.
83. Rex Burkhead, RB, Patriots
84. Leonard Fournette, RB, Buccaneers: There should come a time soon when we just stop ranking him at all. Let Ke'Shawn Vaughn keep playing.
85. Phillip Lindsay, RB, Broncos: How many snaps and touches he gets will be of great interest with Gordon back.
86. Evan Engram, TE, Giants: The Eagles struggle to defend tight ends, so a decent case can be made for Engram this week.
87. John Brown, WR, Bills
88. Brandon Aiyuk, WR, 49ers
89. Michael Gallup, WR, Cowboys
90. Tim Patrick, WR, Broncos
91. Emmanuel Sanders, WR, Saints
92. Corey Clement, RB, Eagles
93. Jamaal Williams, RB, Packers
94. Brian Hill, RB, Falcons
95. Duke Johnson, RB, Texans
96. A.J. Green, WR, Bengals
97. Hayden Hurst, TE, Falcons
98. Laviska Shenault Jr., WR, Jaguars
99. Marvin Jones Jr., WR, Lions
100. Jerry Jeudy, WR, Broncos
