Welcome to Week 5 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 5 and beyond!
These rankings have been updated for news and to remove players from Thursday's Colts-Broncos game. Most recent update: Friday 8:00 p.m. ET.
1. Josh Allen, Bills (QB1): Fantasy points have fallen each week, but they remain elite. Nothing to worry about here.
2. Lamar Jackson, Ravens (QB2): Turnovers lowered his point total versus Bills, but he still threw, still ran. No worries.
3. Jalen Hurts, Eagles (QB3): Eagles are balanced, and only concern with Hurts may be how many hits he's taking.
4. Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs (QB4): Terrific game at Tampa Bay, as Mahomes finds new ways to complete passes.
5. Justin Herbert, Chargers (QB5): We can probably stop worrying about his injured ribs.
6. Cooper Kupp, Rams (WR1): Fantasy's top PPR scorer among flex options so far, and it's not that close.
7. Davante Adams, Raiders (WR2): Unstoppable force should see plenty of targets Monday night in Kansas City.
8. Stefon Diggs, Bills (WR3): Quiet outing at Baltimore, but should bounce back versus Steelers.
9. Justin Jefferson, Vikings (WR4): Looked dominant against New Orleans, in case anyone thought he would struggle.
10. Tom Brady, Buccaneers (QB6): Bucs probably don't want him throwing 52 times each weekend.
11. Joe Burrow, Bengals (QB7)
12. Kyler Murray, Cardinals (QB8)
