2024 FTN NFL Power Rankings Through Week 15: Who Takes Over the Top Spot?
Daniel Kelley
It’s Wednesday, and that means it’s time to break out the fantasy football flex rankings for Week 16 of the 2023 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 rankings will change a lot throughout the week. This post will not be updates, so if you want all the latest updates, then be sure to check our staff rankings page. Promo code “RATPACK” gets you a discount on any FTN subscription.
Week 16 Flex Rankings (2023) — Top 100
1. Christian McCaffrey (RB1) vs. BAL – Even in a tough matchup, the historically good season will continue for McCaffrey.
2. CeeDee Lamb (WR1) at MIA – He’s scored nine touchdowns over his last eight games.
3. Kyren Williams (RB2) vs. NO – Williams averages over 26 touches per game since he returned from injured reserve.
4. Tyreek Hill (WR2) vs. DAL – We don’t know if he’ll play yet, but signs are point toward Hill suiting up for this one.
5. Deebo Samuel (WR3) vs. BAL – Samuel has been arguable the hottest receiver in fantasy over the last month.
6. A.J. Brown (WR4) vs. NYG – Last week wasn’t fun for the Eagles offense, but Brown gets a tasty matchup against the Giants.
7. Rachaad White (RB3) vs. JAC – Few running backs have performed better over the second half of the season.
8. Alvin Kamara (RB4) at LAR – He’s topped 100 scrimmage yards in three of his last four games.
9. Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR5) at MIN – St. Brown has gone over 100 receiving yards seven times this season.
10. Isiah Pacheco (RB5) vs. LV – Andy Reid said Pacheco will be back this week.
11. Justin Jefferson (WR6) vs. DET – Jefferson got through last week unscathed and is back in the WR1 conversation.
12. James Cook (RB6) at LAC – Cook has exploded with top-five weekly finishes in each of his last two games.
13. Tony Pollard (RB7) at MIA – Like the rest of the Cowboys’ offense, Pollard didn’t get it done last week. But he remains a high volume RB1 option.
14. Mike Evans (WR7) vs. JAC – Evans’ Renaissance season continues against the Jags this week.
15. Stefon Diggs (WR8) at LAC – Sure, the numbers weren’t good last week, but the Bills barely threw the ball against Dallas. That won’t be the case against the Chargers’ putrid pass defense.
16. Raheem Mostert (RB8) vs. DAL – He’s sitting on 20 touchdowns and counting.
17. DJ Moore (WR9) vs. ARI – Moore rebounds this week with a fantastic matchup on tap.
18. Bijan Robinson (RB9) vs. IND – I know. I know. But this is a great matchup where Robinson “should” perform well.
19. Travis Kelce (TE1) vs. LV – Kelce bounces back against a suspect Raiders defense on Christmas.
20. Joe Mixon (RB10) at PIT – Mixon has found the end zone in seven of his last eight games.
21. Saquon Barkley (RB11) at PHI – This isn’t an optimal matchup, but the Seahawks showed the blueprint for how to run on the Eagles.
22. Kenneth Walker (RB12) at TEN – He’s back in the clear lead back spot for Seattle.
23. Cooper Kupp (WR10) vs. NO – Back-to-back 100-yard games has Kupp back in the top 10.
24. Ezekiel Elliott (RB13) at DEN – Elliott didn’t get it done last week, but he has the best matchup on the board for running backs.
25. Michael Pittman (WR11) at ATL – We aren’t sure if Pittman can clear protocol, but this is where he’ll rank if he does.
26. DK Metcalf (WR12) at TEN
27. Travis Etienne (RB14) at TB
28. Puka Nacua (WR13) vs. NO

53. Tee Higgins (WR24) at PIT
54. Courtland Sutton (WR25) vs. NE
55. Austin Ekeler (RB29) vs. BUF – Yep. The possibility of seeing more Isaiah Spiller plus lackluster play has Ekeler in flex territory.
