It’s Wednesday and that means it’s time to start making your start and sit decisions for your fantasy football lineups. One of the best resources to help you is our flex fantasy football rankings for Week 14 of the NFL season. Remember that rankings change throughout the week, so be sure to check our staff rankings for updates.

1. Christian McCaffrey, CAR @ CLE (RB1) — This might be the first time all season that Todd Gurley isn't in the No. 1 spot, but McCaffrey has been a monster over the last six games, with 10 touchdowns over that span.

2. Todd Gurley, LAR @ CHI (RB2) — … But Gurley is still the No. 2 option, even in a tough matchup.

3. Ezekiel Elliott, DAL vs PHI (RB3) — Elliott went off against the Eagles when he faced them a few weeks ago.

4. Alvin Kamara, NO @ TB (RB4) — He was a letdown last week, but Kamara's high ceiling keeps him in borderline elite fantasy territory.

5. Saquon Barkley, NYG @ WAS (RB5) — The rookie is dinged up but should be fine for this week's contest.

6. Aaron Jones, GB vs ATL (RB6) — Will the interim regime use Jones more than Mike McCarthy? We don't know, but this is an excellent matchup.

7. Phillip Lindsay, DEN @ SF (RB7) — Lindsay is absolutely shredding opposing defenses on the ground.

8. Michael Thomas, NO @ TB (WR1) — The shaky Bucs secondary looked decent last week, but this is still a plus matchup for Thomas.

9. Antonio Brown, PIT @ OAK (WR2) — AB is rolling over the last month with the second-most fantasy points among wideouts over that span.

10. Davante Adams, GB vs ATL (WR3) — Things are spiraling in Green Bay, but it isn't affecting Adams one bit.

11. DeAndre Hopkins, HOU vs IND (WR4) — Indy isn't quite the pushover of a matchup they once were, but Hopkins is still going to get his this week.

12. Keenan Allen, LAC vs CIN (WR5) — He's scored in four straight games and is the No. 1 fantasy wide receiver over the last month.

13. Tyreek Hill, KC vs BAL (WR6) — This is a tough matchup for Hill, but he can post elite fantasy numbers any given week.

14. Adam Thielen, MIN @ SEA (WR7) — Thielen has been banged up over the last several weeks and is coming off a down week. But there's no reason to bench him in the fantasy playoffs.

15. Julio Jones, ATL @ GB (WR8) — Jones posted a rare fantasy dud last week, but he's locked in as a WR1 play this week.

16. Nick Chubb, CLE vs CAR (RB8) — Expect the heavy volume for Chubb to continue this week.

17. Travis Kelce, KC vs BAL (TE1) — Kelce is coming off an enormous performance last week. He's the top option at tight end despite the tough matchup.

18. David Johnson, ARI vs DET (RB9) — Even with the Cards offense struggling, Johnson is a volume play as a back-end RB1.

19. Austin Ekeler, LAC vs CIN (RB10) — Justin Jackson will get some run in this backfield, but Ekeler will still get the lion's share in a very favorable matchup.

20. Odell Beckham Jr., NYG @ WAS (WR9) — OBJ vs. Josh Norman is always a fun matchup.

21. Leonard Fournette, JAC @ TEN (RB11) — He's back from suspension and in the backend RB1 conversation this week.

22. Joe Mixon, CIN @ LAC (RB12) — While the Bengals offense is certainly trending down, Mixon is still in play as a fringe RB1 based on his workload.

23. JuJu Smith-Schuster, PIT @ OAK (WR10) — The Steelers continue to sustain two fantasy WR1 options, which is very rare.

24. Brandin Cooks, LAR @ CHI (WR11) — Cooks gets a tough matchup, but he's still in play as a top-12 wide receiver option given his high fantasy ceiling.

25. Mike Evans, TB vs NO (WR12) — Evans enters the week third among wide receivers in yards and only Antonio Brown has more touchdowns of 40-plus yards.

26. Emmanuel Sanders, DEN @ SF (WR13) — He was a disappointment last week, but Sanders should see heavy volume in this matchup.

27. Robert Woods, LAR @ CHI (WR14) — Like Cooks, Woods' high ceiling keeps in the front end of the WR2s this week.

28. Lamar Miller, HOU vs IND (RB13) — Miller is gaining steam down the stretch with strong performances in back-to-back games.

29. James White, NE @ MIA (RB14) — White remains the clear passing-down option in the Patriots' backfield.

30. Amari Cooper, DAL vs PHI (WR15) — Cooper has been rolling over the last two weeks and gets a tasty matchup in this one.

31. Julian Edelman, NE @ MIA (WR16)

32. Sony Michel, NE @ MIA (RB15)

33. Gus Edwards, BAL @ KC (RB16)

34. Tarik Cohen, CHI vs LAR (RB17)

35. Zach Ertz, PHI @ DAL (TE2)

36. Spencer Ware, KC vs BAL (RB18) — This is a tough draw for Ware, but he's still in play as an RB2.

38. LeSean McCoy, BUF vs NYJ (RB19)

39. Jeff Wilson, SF vs DEN (RB20)

47. Jarvis Landry, CLE vs CAR (WR21)

48. Marlon Mack, IND @ HOU (RB23)

49. Jaylen Samuels, PIT @ OAK (RB24) — Samuels will serve as the lead back, but his role in the offense isn't 100% clear. It's best to enter this week with tempered expectations.
