Fantasy Football 2024: Week 7 Superflex Rankings

Week 7 of the 2024 fantasy football season is upon us, and for superflex league managers, quarterback rankings are more critical than ever. With marquee QBs like Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and Lamar Jackson leading the pack, there’s no shortage of firepower at the position. But who else is rising up the rankings? And which under-the-radar RBs, WRs, and TEs could provide a pivotal edge? Here’s our full superflex rankings for Week 7, followed by in-depth analysis of the key players and matchups to watch.

Week 7 Superflex Rankings: The Top 10

1. Jayden Daniels, Commanders (QB1) – The rookie sensation keeps producing monster numbers, even in losses. A matchup with the Panthers defense puts him in the top spot.
2. Lamar Jackson, Ravens (QB2) – Never bet against Lamar’s dual-threat wizardry. He’s a set-it-and-forget-it QB1.
3. Jalen Hurts, Eagles (QB3) – Getting his receivers back elevates Hurts, though the Eagles offense has room for improvement.
4. Kyren Williams, Rams (RB1) – The second-year back is thriving as the Rams’ new bell cow. Smash start versus the Raiders.
5. Saquon Barkley, Eagles (RB2) – Revenge game alert! The ex-Giant will be chomping at the bit to run wild on his former team.

“You always start your studs, but superflex scoring means elite QBs like Daniels, Jackson, and Hurts deserve top-5 billing most weeks. Don’t overthink it.” – Adam Caplan, NFL Insider

6. Bijan Robinson, Falcons (RB3) – Heating up at the right time. More goal line work puts his upside through the roof.
7. Baker Mayfield, Buccaneers (QB4) – Believe the breakout. Mayfield is on pace for an astonishing 42 TDs in this offense.
8. Josh Allen, Bills (QB5) – Still an elite option, especially after the Bills bolstered their receiving corps.
9. Joe Burrow, Bengals (QB6) – Burrow’s rapport with Chase and Higgins keeps him in the top 10 regardless of matchup.
10. Jordan Love, Packers (QB7) – Earning every penny of his new deal. The Pack are letting Love cook.

QB Risers and Fallers

After a much-needed bye week, Sam Darnold (QB13) gets a chance to right the ship against a suspect Lions defense. He’s an intriguing QB2. On the flip side, Justin Herbert (QB18) still isn’t producing like we expect from an elite passer. Until we see signs of life from the Chargers offense, Herbert is shaky even in superflex.

Shifting to Superflex sleepers, Patriots rookie Drake Maye (QB16) impressed with 3 TDs and 38 rushing yards in his debut. There will be growing pains, but his dual-threat skill set gives him top-12 upside rest of season. If you need a spot start, roll the dice on Maye.

Injury Impacts and Backfield Breakdowns

With Ravens RB JK Dobbins (RB8) coming off a massive 27-touch outing, his stock is soaring. There’s some risk of Baltimore dialing back his workload, but Dobbins has earned every-down duties and looks fully recovered from past injuries. Start with confidence.

Although Cooper Kupp (WR14) could return from an ankle issue this week, the Rams may take a cautious approach. Have a backup plan ready in case Kupp is limited or out. Teammate Kyren Williams (RB1) remains an RB1 play regardless.

“Dobbins was one of my favorite ‘buy low’ targets after the injury. Now he’s reminding everyone he’s a top-10 RB when healthy.” – Liz Loza, Fantasy Analyst

Potential League-Winners Emerging

It’s not too late to swing a season-altering trade or snag a waiver wire gem. Bengals rookie RB Chase Brown (RB22) is still widely available and has earned a bigger workload with his explosive play. He’s the ultimate stash for the second half.

At tight end, Packers second-year break out Tucker Kraft (TE9) is emerging as a weekly starter. With defenses focused on slowing Green Bay’s wideouts, Kraft should continue to thrive over the middle. He’s a priority pickup where available.

Week 7 Expectations and Final Thoughts

As bye weeks thin out the player pool, stay water with your roster management. Rather than cutting a solid depth piece for a one-week fill-in, see if you can make due with what you have or engineer a 2-for-1 trade to open up a spot. The big picture still matters.

Though we all love to tinker and chase the next big thing, don’t lose sight of the golden rule: Start your studs. Matchups matter, but elite talents are matchup-proof. Trust the process that got you this far, even if it means eating a few duds along the way. There’s still a lot of season left to get it right.

Best of luck to all the Week 7 warriors out there. May your sleepers pop, your studs go off, and the fantasy gods smile upon your superflex squads. See you at the top of the standings!
