Fantasy Football 2022: Week 13 Flex Rankings

It’s Wednesday, and that means it’s time to break out the fantasy football flex rankings for Week 13 of the 2022 NFL season. If you’re new to the concept of flex rankings, these are simply the combined overall rankings for running back, wide receiver and tight end for each week during the fantasy football season. These are not suggestions for who to start in your flex spots.

This list is our initial rankings, but it will change a lot throughout the week. If you want all the latest updates, then be sure to check our staff rankings page. Promo code “RATPACK” gets you 20% off of any FTN subscription.

Week 13 Flex Rankings (2022) – Top 100

1. Austin Ekeler @ LV (RB1) – He already has 10 more receptions than last year and has a very real shot at the single-season record for running backs. Oh, and he faces the Raiders.

2. Josh Jacobs vs. LAC (RB2) – Yes, he’s banged up, so be prepared. But if Jacobs plays, he’s set up for another massive game against a Chargers defense that has struggled against the run all season.

3. Davante Adams vs. LAC (WR1) – Are we seeing a theme here? This game is set up to produce massive amounts of fantasy points. 

4. Nick Chubb @ HOU (RB3) – The league’s best between-the-tackles runner gets to face the league’s worst run defense. Giddy up.

5. Travis Kelce @ CIN (TE1) – Stud.

6. Derrick Henry @ PHI (RB4) – The Eagles have struggled against the run over the last month and will have their hands full against Henry.

7. Tyreek Hill @ SF (WR2) – Expect a better gamescript for Hill to produce this week.

8. Stefon Diggs @ NE (WR3) – It isn’t optimal to have to face a Belichick defense, but Diggs is playing elite football right now.

9. Christian McCaffrey vs. MIA (RB5) – He’s dealing with a slight knee issue, but the 49ers are going to need him in this crucial game. Expect a full workload.

10. Justin Jefferson vs. NYJ (WR4) – He’s an elite play even in a tough matchup against a strong Jets secondary.

11. Rhamondre Stevenson vs. BUF (RB6) – When Damien Harris doesn’t play, Stevenson tends to go off.

12. Kenneth Walker @ LA (RB7) – Walker wasn’t effective last week from a yardage standpoint, but he did manage to score twice.

13. A.J. Brown vs. TEN (WR5) – Revenge game.

14. Jonathan Taylor @ DAL (RB8) – This isn’t an optimal matchup, but Taylor has managed to string together three very effective games. 

15. Saquon Barkley vs. WAS (RB9) – Barkley’s stock has slipped just slightly after two down games in a row.

16. Dalvin Cook vs. NYJ (RB10) – Cook was bottled up on Thanksgiving, but he still saw heavy volume in that contest with 26 touches.

17. CeeDee Lamb vs. IND (WR6) – Lamb has posted 100-yard games in two of his last three.

18. Amon-Ra St. Brown vs. JAX (WR7) – He’s seen 48 targets over his last five games and is coming off a massive performance on Thanksgiving.

19. Joe Mixon vs. KC (RB11) – We aren’t out of the woods yet with Mixon, as he remains in the concussion protocol. But he’s a top 12 running back if he does suit up.

20. Aaron Jones @ CHI (RB12) – Jones absolutely shredded the Bears back in Week 2.

21. Travis Etienne @ DET (RB13) – He says he’ll be good to go this week and gets a fantastic matchup.

22. Jaylen Waddle @ SF (WR8) – Like Tyreek Hill, this one sets up much better than last week for Waddle.

23. Tony Pollard vs. IND (RB14) – It’s still a timeshare in Dallas, but Pollard remains the preferred option over Ezekiel Elliott.

24. Tee Higgins vs. KC (WR9) – Ja’Marr Chase should return this week, but Higgins remains in WR1 territory in what should be one of the most entertaining games on the slate.

25. Jamaal Williams vs. JAX (RB15) – Williams has the lead job on lock down and gets a favorable matchup against the Jags.

26. Amari Cooper @ HOU (WR10)

27. Ja’Marr Chase vs. KC (WR11)

28. Christian Kirk @ DET (WR12)

29. Alvin Kamara @ TB (RB16)

30. Miles Sanders vs. TEN (RB17)

31. Rachaad White vs. NO (RB18) – We’ll see where Leonard Fournette is heading into this one, but White certainly looked like a more explosive option over the Bucs last two games. 

32. DK Metcalf @ LA (WR13)

33. Chris Godwin vs. NO (WR14)

34. Keenan Allen @ LV (WR15)

35. Mike Evans vs. NO (WR16)

36. Deebo Samuel vs. MIA (WR17)

39. David Montgomery vs. GB (RB19)

40. Terry McLaurin @ NYG (WR19)

41. Tyler Lockett @ LA (WR20)

42. Chris Olave @ TB (WR21)

43. Jeff Wilson @ SF (RB20) – Wilson was banged up last week but gets a shot at revenge if he can play.

44. Brandon Aiyuk vs. MIA (WR22)

45. DeVonta Smith vs. TEN (WR23)

46. Christian Watson @ CHI (WR24)

47. JuJu Smith-Schuster @ CIN (WR25)

48. Dameon Pierce vs. CLE (RB21) – Last week was ugly, but Pierce should continue to see heavy volume against a suspect Browns run defense.

51. Michael Pittman @ DAL (WR27)

52. Courtland Sutton @ BAL (WR28)

71. Tyler Boyd vs. KC (WR38)

72. Antonio Gibson @ NYG (RB30)

73. D’Andre Swift vs. JAX (RB31) – Unfortunately, Swift is proving to be a somewhat low-volume option who can only be trust as a flex play.

74. Pat Freiermuth @ ATL (TE5)

75. Drake London vs. PIT (WR39)

76. Brandin Cooks vs. CLE (WR40)

77. Michael Gallup vs. IND (WR41)

78. T.J. Hockenson vs. NYJ (TE6)

79. Gus Edwards vs. DEN (RB32) – J.K. Dobbins isn’t activated from injured reserve yet, so this ranking is subject to change.
