Karabell's flex and superflex rankings for Week 3

Welcome to Week 3 of the 2026 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, 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! Week 3 superflex rankings (includes quarterbacks) 1. Josh Allen, QB1 vs LAC He probably cannot average 38.2 fantasy points per game for long, but he belongs in his own tier. 2. Jahmyr Gibbs, RB1 vs NYJ As long as each Lions game is a shootout, there is nothing to worry about here. 3. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR1 @ WSH Perhaps last season wasn't a fluke. He is doing it again, regardless of quarterback. 4. Kenneth Walker III, RB2 @ MIA We have never seen him play like this before, with this much volume. Just. Stay. Healthy. 5. Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR2 vs NYJ Nobody has more targets than this fellow. We expected more of a split with Jameson Williams. 6. Christian McCaffrey, RB3 vs ARI Low volume is not a concern yet, but it will be if he doesn't score touchdowns. 7. Jonathan Taylor, RB4 vs HOU It sure looks like last season was not a fluke for him. The touchdowns keep on coming. 8. Lamar Jackson, QB2 @ DAL He wasn't awesome in Week 2, but this week, it is the Cowboys. He should be awesome. 9. Brock Purdy, QB3 vs ARI Enjoy this week versus Arizona. Then he faces the Broncos and Seahawks. 10. Jalen Hurts, QB4 @ CHI The Eagles offense remains in flux, but Hurts is not a problem. 11. Patrick Mahomes, QB5 @ MIA 12. Tyler Shough, QB6 vs LV 13. Puka Nacua, WR3 @ DEN A hip injury cost him Week 2. At least the Rams don't play on Monday this week. 14. Ja'Marr Chase, WR4 @ PIT Magnificent player who needs to produce those Week 2 numbers more often. He needs more volume. 15. Justin Jefferson, WR5 @ TB 16. Chris Olave, WR6 vs LV 17. CeeDee Lamb, WR7 vs BAL 18. Derrick Henry, RB5 @ DAL The Ravens underutilized him in second half last week, which makes no sense. 19. Bijan Robinson, RB6 @ GB Thursday is a big game for his fantasy value, but can we really doubt this guy? 20. Dak Prescott, QB7 vs BAL 21. Joe Burrow, QB8 @ PIT 22. Jordan Love, QB9 vs ATL We didn't expect to rank him so well, but quite a few backup QBs are starting this week. 23. Trevor Lawrence, QB10 vs NE Underwhelming Week 2 versus a tough opponent, so he gets a pass. But he needs to run more. 24. De'Von Achane, RB7 vs KC He did have 23 touches in Week 2. We cannot expect his 2025 numbers, but don't give up on him. 25. James Cook III, RB8 vs LAC 26. Ashton Jeanty, RB9 @ NO 27. Zay Flowers, WR8 @ DAL A hamstring injury cost him Week 2. If he plays, let's assume he is healthy enough to do so. 28. Nico Collins, WR9 @ IND As with Flowers, if the team deems Collins healthy enough to suit up, trust him in fantasy. 29. DeVonta Smith, WR10 @ CHI Fantastic outing versus the Titans. We would love that kind of volume each week. 30. Trey McBride, TE1 @ SF 31. Jared Goff, QB11 vs NYJ 32. Bryce Young, QB12 @ CLE Perhaps we should believe the breakout is here. The Browns defense is a step up, though. 33. Drake Maye, QB13 @ JAX Perhaps we should be more concerned that he is not a QB1 option. One more week? 34. Bo Nix, QB14 vs LAR 35. Justin Herbert, QB15 @ BUF 36. Saquon Barkley, RB10 @ CHI Shoulder injury ruined his Week 2, but the Eagles must block better for him. This is concerning. 37. Breece Hall, RB11 @ DET Don't worry about how he gets his scrimmage yards, just as long as he gets them. 38. Chase Brown, RB12 @ PIT 39. Bucky Irving, RB13 vs MIN 40. Parker Washington, WR11 vs NE He is dominating the targets. Is any other Jaguars WR even worth rostering anymore? 41. Malik Nabers, WR12 vs TEN We question his durability, and he will not have his starting QB for a while. Panic time? 42. Drake London, WR13 @ GB We already panicked here. Is he this season's Justin Jefferson? At this point, we may take that. 43. C.J. Stroud, QB16 @ IND 44. Matthew Stafford, QB17 @ DEN 45. Kyler Murray, QB18 @ TB A promising projection for him, but fantasy managers should be cautious with their trust. 46. Omarion Hampton, RB14 @ BUF He looked better in Week 2, but these fumbles will become a problem if they continue. 47. Javonte Williams, RB15 vs BAL He hasn't reached 50 rushing yards in a game yet. Last season, he fell short only three times. 48. Cam Skattebo, RB16 vs TEN It feels like time for the Giants to give him really big volume and see what happens. 49. Brock Bowers, TE2 @ NO This ranking shows that if he suits up, we play him, too. Hope for the best. 50. George Kittle, TE3 vs ARI His Week 2 performance was quite promising. This looks like a top-five TE again. 51. Travis Kelce, TE4 @ MIA He has looked fantastic so far. Again, this looks like a top-five TE. Awesome to see. 52. Tetairoa McMillan, WR14 @ CLE 53. Garrett Wilson, WR15 @ DET 54. Christian Watson, WR16 vs ATL 55. Jalen Coker, WR17 @ CLE 56. Davante Adams, WR18 @ DEN 57. George Pickens, WR19 vs BAL 58. Ladd McConkey, WR20 @ BUF 59. Sam Darnold, QB19 @ WSH 60. Baker Mayfield, QB20 vs MIN 61. Malik Willis, QB21 vs KC 62. Marcus Mariota, QB22 vs SEA 63. Geno Smith, QB23 @ DET 64. Aaron Jones Sr., RB17 @ TB 65. Quinshon Judkins, RB18 vs CAR 66. Chuba Hubbard, RB19 @ CLE 67. Kyren Williams, RB20 @ DEN 68. Mike Evans, WR21 vs ARI 69. Jaylen Waddle, WR22 vs LAR 70. Deebo Samuel Sr., WR23 vs ARI 71. Emeka Egbuka, WR24 vs MIN 72. Deshaun Watson, QB24 vs CAR 73. Daniel Jones, QB25 vs HOU 74. Tyler Warren, TE5 vs HOU 75. Dalton Kincaid, TE6 vs LAC 76. Sam LaPorta, TE7 vs NYJ 77. Case Keenum, QB26 vs PHI 78. Jameis Winston, QB27 vs TEN 79. Aaron Rodgers, QB28 vs CIN 80. Jacoby Brissett, QB29 @ SF 81. DJ Moore, WR25 vs LAC 82. Rashee Rice, WR26 @ MIA 83. Tee Higgins, WR27 @ PIT 84. Jaylen Warren, RB21 vs CIN 85. Jeremiyah Love, RB22 @ SF 86. Michael Penix Jr., QB30 @ GB 87. Cam Ward, QB31 @ NYG 88. Kirk Cousins, QB32 @ NO 89. Denzel Boston, WR28 vs CAR 90. Xavier Worthy, WR29 @ MIA 91. Jadarian Price, RB23 @ WSH 92. D'Andre Swift, RB24 vs PHI 93. David Montgomery, RB25 @ IND 94. Travis Etienne Jr., RB26 vs LV 95.

Isaiah Likely, TE8 vs TEN 102. Hunter Henry, TE9 @ JAX 103. Mark Andrews, TE10 @ DAL 104. J.K. Dobbins, RB30 vs LAR 105. Rico Dowdle, RB31 vs CIN 106. Tony Pollard, RB32 @ NYG 107. Alvin Kamara, RB33 vs LV 108. Tucker Kraft, TE11 vs ATL 109. Dalton Schultz, TE12 @ IND 110. Colston Loveland, TE13 vs PHI 111. Rashid Shaheed, WR33 @ WSH 112. Matthew Golden, WR34 vs ATL 113.
