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 15 of the NFL season. Remember that rankings change throughout the week, so be sure to check our staff rankings for updates.
1. Todd Gurley, LAR vs PHI (RB1) — Gurley got the bad game out of his system and will rebound in a big way against the Eagles.
2. Saquon Barkley, NYG vs TEN (RB2) — He's been 100% “as advertised.”
3. Christian McCaffrey, CAR vs NO (RB3) — The scoring streak continued for McCaffrey last week, but keep in mind that the Saints are very good against the run.
4. Ezekiel Elliott, DAL @ IND (RB4) — The Cowboys offense is no longer one-dimensional, and that's helped Elliott's fantasy production.
5. Alvin Kamara, NO @ CAR (RB5) — He isn't the Kamara we saw in September, but he's still one of the highest-upside plays at running back.
6. Michael Thomas, NO @ CAR (WR1) — Thomas is coming off a double-digit-catch outing and gets a fantastic matchup.
7. DeAndre Hopkins, HOU @ NYJ (WR2) — Hopkins against the Jets secondary? Giddy up.
8. Antonio Brown, PIT vs NE (WR3) — Expect a shadow for Brown from Stephon Gilmore, but that isn't enough to downgrade him this week.
9. Phillip Lindsay, DEN vs CLE (RB6) — What a season for Lindsay. He continues to roll in a plus matchup against the Browns.
10. Keenan Allen, LAC @ KC (WR4) — Allen has scored in five straight games.
11. Julio Jones, ATL vs ARI (WR5) — Patrick Peterson looms, but Jones is a must-start regardless.
12. Joe Mixon, CIN vs OAK (RB7) — Mixon got it done last week and continues to roll at home against the Raiders.
13. Davante Adams, GB @ CHI (WR6) — There's no denying that this is a tough matchup, but Adams should never leave your starting lineup.
14. Nick Chubb, CLE @ DEN (RB8) — Chubb has emerged as a three-down back and is in play as an RB1 option this week.
15. Adam Thielen, MIN vs MIA (WR7) — He's cooled off a bit after that electric first half of the season, but Thielen is still a rock-solid WR1.
16. David Johnson, ARI @ ATL (RB9) — Johnson gets a plus matchup and should see plenty of touches.
17. JuJu Smith-Schuster, PIT vs NE (WR8) — The Steelers continue to sustain two fantasy WR1s.
18. Amari Cooper, DAL @ IND (WR9) — Since joining the Cowboys, Cooper is fantasy's No. 1 wide receiver.
19. Leonard Fournette, JAC vs WAS (RB10) — Expect the Jags to feed Fournette this week.
20. Tyreek Hill, KC vs LAC (WR10) — He's banged up, but Hill should be good to go for Thursday night.
21. Tarik Cohen, CHI vs GB (RB11) — Cohen's heavy involvement in the passing game makes him a borderline RB1 option this week.
22. Robert Woods, LAR vs PHI (WR11) — Look for Woods and the Rams passing game to rebound this week against a weak Philly secondary.
23. Brandin Cooks, LAR vs PHI (WR12) — Cooks will benefit from this matchup and get off the schneid.
24. Travis Kelce, KC vs LAC (TE1) — He's fantasy's No. 1 tight end, and it isn't close.
25. Dalvin Cook, MIN vs MIA (RB12) — Cook is finally starting to look like the player you thought he was going to be when you drafted him a little over three months ago.
26. Julian Edelman, NE @ PIT (WR13) — Tom Brady will continue to pepper Edelman with targets this week.
27. Lamar Miller, HOU @ NYJ (RB13) — Miller should get a favorable gamescript in this one.
28. Chris Carson, SEA @ SF (RB14) — The Seahawks are running the heck out of the football, which is a good thing for Carson.
29. Stefon Diggs, MIN vs MIA (WR14) — Diggs is more of a boom-or-bust option than Adam Thielen, but he's still a fringe WR1 option.
30. Justin Jackson, LAC @ KC (RB15) — With Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler looking unlikely, Jackson is in a prime spot to produce.
31. Aaron Jones, GB @ CHI (RB16)
32. Jarvis Landry, CLE @ DEN (WR15)
33. T.Y. Hilton, IND vs DAL (WR16)
34. Sony Michel, NE @ PIT (RB17)

36. James White, NE @ PIT (RB19)
37. Zach Ertz, PHI @ LAR (TE2)

42. Corey Davis, TEN @ NYG (WR19)

49. Rob Gronkowski, NE @ PIT (TE5)
50. Damien Williams, KC vs LAC (RB23)
51. Jeff Wilson, SF vs SEA (RB24) — Matt Breida will likely be out again, which keeps Wilson in the RB2 conversation.

54. Josh Adams, PHI @ LAR (RB26)
55. Jordan Howard, CHI vs GB (RB27)

75. Jared Cook, OAK @ CIN (TE6)
76. Chris Godwin, TB @ BAL (WR35)

99. Peyton Barber, TB @ BAL (RB42)
100. Kenny Stills, MIA @ MIN (WR47) — Stills went off last week, but he's still too risky to use as anything more than a flex option.
