​Fantasy football often diverges from real-life football, and that gap has helped spur a surge in Superflex leagues. Not only does this format tend to deliver more points, but it also elevates the value of the most important position in the game. Over the past few years, many leagues have shifted in that direction. Don’t be intimidated. Superflex is a fun format, but it does come with rankings that differ significantly from what you’re used to and from the default rankings you’ll see on most sites. If you’re looking for position-specific fantasy rankings, you can jump to PFN’s updated PPR | QB | RB | WR | TE rankings here. And if you want to practice, our FREE Fantasy Football Mock Draft Simulator lets you go through an entire draft in any format, so you can sharpen your skills for draft day.
1) Josh Allen, QB | BUF 2) Drake Maye, QB | NE 3) Ja’Marr Chase, WR | CIN 4) Joe Burrow, QB | CIN. We’re looking at the exception, not the rule here. The top of the QB board is loaded with athletes who can break down a defense with their legs, a skill that then opens passing lanes for them to exploit. Burrow isn’t that type of dual-threat, but his arm talent and supporting cast give him the ability to carry your fantasy team even without that rushing upside. Across his career, Burrow averages 21.4 fantasy points per game when he has 35+ opportunities (pass attempts plus rush attempts) in a contest, clearing 15 points in 82.1% of those games. The elevated floor that usually comes with mobile quarterbacks is very much part of Burrow’s profile—assuming he’s on the field.
I also find the end-of-season schedule more appealing than most. In each of the final four weeks of the fantasy season, Burrow faces either an elite quarterback (Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson) or a defensively weaker opponent in favorable weather spots (at Carolina and at Indianapolis). 5) Bijan Robinson, RB | ATL 6) Lamar Jackson, QB | BAL 7) Jahmyr Gibbs, RB | DET 8) Jayden Daniels, QB | WAS 9) Puka Nacua, WR | LAR 10) James Cook III, RB | BUF 11) Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR | SEA 12) Jalen Hurts, QB | PHI 13) Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR | DET 14) Ashton Jeanty, RB | LV 15) Jaxson Dart, QB | NYG 16) Justin Herbert, QB | LAC 17) Christian McCaffrey, RB | SF 18) CeeDee Lamb, WR | DAL 19) Nico Collins, WR | HOU 20) De’Von Achane, RB | MIA 21) Drake London, WR | ATL 22) Caleb Williams, QB | CHI. We know that Williams can be sporadic and that could cost the Bears a game or two this season. Williams is the most mispriced QB on the board in 2026. Both things can be true, and to me they are: Williams’ willingness to push the envelope makes him a headache for NFL fans and, at the same time, a golden opportunity for fantasy managers who capitalize on his current ADP.
