2020 Top 50 Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings

1. Christian McCaffrey

Mr. 1K,1K. If you owned CMC in 2019, you were most likely won your fantasy championship or at least played it in. Despite having a limited surrounding cast, McCaffrey still had over 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving. CMC played on 96 percent of snaps in 2019, which is absolutely mind-blowing. Owning Christian McCaffrey in dynasty leagues may give you a golden ticket to the fantasy championship for years to come. McCaffrey comes in as my RB 1 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

2. Patrick Mahomes

The 2018 NFL MVP turns 25 in September. The Kansas City Chiefs are preparing to offer Mahomes a contract that would exceed over $40 million a year. Patrick is surrounded by targets like Tyreek Hill who can stretch the field and is under contract till 2023. Mahomes also has 2019 All-Pro Tight End Travis Kelce under contract till 2022. Mahomes comes in as my QB 1 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

3. Saquon Barkley

Coming out of Penn State, every coach had their eyes on Barkley and the Giants were the lucky team to win the sweepstakes. Saquon suffered a high-ankle sprain early in the season, which slowed him down a bit, but when he returned to full form in weeks 14-16, many fantasy owners were happy. Barkley was only second to CMC in scoring from weeks 14-16, which are the only weeks that actually really matter to a fantasy owner. Barkley comes in as my RB 2 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

4. Lamar Jackson

Lamar Jackson? You mean the guy everyone thought should play wide receiver. Lamar Jackson took the league by storm in 2019. Jackson was a First-Team All-Pro Quarterback and won the 2019 NFL MVP award. He threw for 3,127 yards and league-leading 36 passing TDs. Better yet, he ran for 1,206 yards and added seven TD on the ground. Jackson comes in as my QB 2 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

5. Michael Thomas

Thomas saw double-digit targets in 12 out of 16 games and had 8+ catches in 13 of 16 games. It will be interesting to see what Thomas can do post-Brees but I wouldn’t let that worry me now. Thomas comes in as my WR 1 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

6. Ezekiel Elliott

Elliott inked a big deal with the Dallas Cowboys in 2019 when he signed a six-year, $90 million deal. Elliot has shown since his rookie season that he is capable of being the best RB the league has to offer. After some early run-in with the law, Zeke seems to be on the right track for success. Elliott comes in as my RB 3 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

7. Kyler Murray

The 1st overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft had a solid rookie year. He started all 16 games for the Arizona Cardinals in 2019. A Heisman winner out of Oklahoma known for his ability to make plays with his legs as well as his arm. The Cardinals hired Kliff Kingsbury to be their head coach and it soon felt that Murray and Kingsbury would be a hit together. Now with DeAndre Hopkins in Arizona, Murray will have no questions on who he should throw the ball to. Murray comes in as my QB 3 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

8. Dalvin Cook

 Cook played a career-high 14 games in 2019. It was nice to see how good Cook is if he stays healthy. There is no surprise as to who runs the Vikings offense and what the Vikings would like to build toward in the future. As long as Cook can stay healthy (fingers crossed), he will be a top producing fantasy back. Cook comes in as my RB 4 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

9. Alvin Kamara

Kamara dealt with a high ankle injury which slowed him down for most of the season. However, in the last four games of the 2019 season, I saw glimpses of the real Alvin Kamara and how great a fantasy back he can be. Kamara had 18 total TD in 2018 but had a big drop off in 2019. The Saints won’t be able to rely on the passing attack of Michael Thomas and Drew Brees as much as they did in 2019 in 2020 as teams will learn how to stop it, or at least try to. Kamara comes in as my RB 5 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

10. DeAndre Hopkins

I love Hopkins’s long term value with Kyler Murray. Hopkins is now in an air-raid offense with a great offensive mind for a head coach in Kliff Kingsbury. A plus for Hopkins owners is that the Cardinals defense will continue to give up points and they will have to play catch up in most games. Hopkins comes in as my WR 2 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

11. Dak Prescott

Dakota Prescott is coming off his best season with the Cowboys statistically by throwing for 4902 yards, 30 TD, and 11 INT. These numbers crush his previous three years by averaging more than 1000 yards throwing and eight more TD. The offensive explosion was due to their newly acquired OC Kellen Moore and many wonder how the hire of Mike McCarthy is going to bode with Dak. Prescott comes in as my QB 4 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

12. Russell Wilson

Wilson signed a 4-year extension with the Seahawks before the 2019 season. Wilson lost one of his favorite receivers in Doug Baldwin when he retired the last offseason. The team went out and brought in a physical specimen out of Ole Miss with D.K. Metcalf. Wilson is 31 and in the prime of his career. He has two great receivers in Tyler Lockett and Metcalf. He can also escape the pocket and added 342 yards on the ground in 2019. Wilson comes in as my QB 5 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

13. Nick Chubb

Despite Chubb having eight TD in 2019, there were countless times that Chubb couldn’t punch it from the 1-2 yard line. This was due to his poor offensive line or poor play-calling. The Browns brought in Kevin Stefanski as their new head coach. Stefanski will take Chubb to the next level with his running schemes. The new coach will find ways to get Chubb more involved in the passing game. Chubb comes in as my RB 6 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

14. Tyreek Hill

Hill is entering his 4th year and should continue to stay healthy and appears to be free of any criminal trouble. Hill will continue to see close to 10 targets a game and those will be coming from the NFL’s best QB in Mahomes. The speedster is only 27 and will continue to see new career bests with Patty. Hill comes in as my WR 3 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

15. Deshaun Watson

Deshaun Watson is entering his fourth year as the starting QB for the Houston Texans. Besides for a non-contact injury he suffered his rookie year, there have been no doubts about the player he is. He has led the Texans to the playoffs in 2018 and 2019. In 2018 and 2019, he was selected to the Pro Bowl. Watson won’t have Hopkins anymore but still should be able to be a top fantasy QB in the NFL. Watson comes in as my QB 6 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

16. Chris Godwin

Chris Godwin broke out in 2019 as he dominated while playing in the slot and relieved the stress off of Winston’s shoulders. Godwin will now have Tom Brady throwing him the ball and I can see Godwin bringing in more than 100 receptions in 2020. Godwin comes in as my WR 4 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

17. Aaron Jones

Aaron Jones was a big reason fantasy owners made the fantasy playoffs in 2019. While he exploded for some big-time weeks, he also let down owners for much-needed games. Jones since entering the league in 2017 has exponentially grown his rushing TD rate. He finished with 4, 8, 16 in his first three seasons which means he is promised to finish with 32 rushing TD right? Of course not but it would be cool if he did. Jones comes in as my RB 7 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

18. Joe Mixon

I would say from a pure talent standpoint, Mixon is a top-three back in the NFL. Mixon got it done in 2019 with 1,137 yards on the ground and 287 yards in the air. This led him to reach the end zone eight total times. Mixon ran behind a poor offensive line in 2019 after their first-round pick Jonah Williams was out for the whole season with a torn labrum. Mixon comes in as my RB 8 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

19. Davante Adams

The Packers defense was much improved in 2019 and they relied more on the running game. A full season of Adams will do much better for fantasy production in 2020. He is still an elite route runner and will be heavily targeted by Aaron Rodgers as long as the #2 option remains Devin Funchess. Adams comes in as my WR 5 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

20. Josh Jacobs

Josh Jacobs had a great year in terms of rushing yards where he managed to total 1150 in just 13 games. There are pros and cons when reviewing Jacobs’ freshman year. First the pros: He topped over 1000 yards in just 13 games which is a great start. Many doubted if Jacobs could handle a full workload in the NFL. I think that he can, but he will get dinged up a bit while doing it. Raiders will have to find ways to keep him on the field. Jacobs comes in as my RB 9 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

21. Mike Evans

Evans will be 27 going into the 2020 season and now will be playing with the best QB he has ever had. I can really see Evans taking his game to the next level with a better passer. Evans comes in as my WR 6 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

22. Josh Allen

Josh Allen was surprisingly good in 2019. He finished as the QB6 in 2019. Going into 2019, it was expected the Allen could be fantasy relevant purely on his legs. However, Allen showed his arm in 2019 as John Brown emerged as his favorite target. Stefon Diggs will be joining Allen and company as they try to improve their offense in 2020. Allen comes in as my QB 7 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

23. Jonathan Taylor

Jonathan Taylor ran through the heart of many Big 10 teams in 2019. Over the 2019 season, Taylor carried the ball for 2,003 yards and 21 TD. He also added 26 catches for 252 yards and 5 TD. There was no doubt about who was behind the offensive success of the Wisconsin Badgers in 2019. It was unsure of how well of a pass catcher he was going into last season, but his 2019 campaign has helped his draft stock. Taylor comes in as my RB 10 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

24. Derrick Henry

Henry was a league winner in 2019. Henry was the league’s leading rusher last season and he will look to repeat that in 2020. Derrick Henry is known for his long rumbling runs where he breaks 3-4 tackles and jukes out the last defender for a score. Henry comes in as my RB 11 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

25. Amari Cooper

With Dak back for 2020, if Amari can stay healthy, he will be a top 10 fantasy WR. Amari Cooper will only be 26 going into the 2020 season, and I can very much see a career-best season coming. Cooper comes in as my WR 7 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

26. D’Andre Swift

Swift has been a stud at Georgia ever since his freshman year where he even cut into the carries of Nick Chubb and Sony Michel. Swift appears to have everything needed to be an NFL back. He can be a 3-down starter and will make an immediate impact for whatever team selects him. Swift has a great build and can burst in the open lanes of the defense and then it is off to the races. Swift comes in as my RB 12 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

27. George Kittle

Kittle can catch, run, block, and sing–you name it and is the engine of the 49ers offense. Kittle has a contract coming up here soon and is expected to be the highest-paid TE in NFL history, and rightfully so. George Kittle is also at prime age right now at 26 so these next couple of years should be the best of his career. Kittle comes in as my TE 1 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

28. Julio Jones

Yes, I know that many of you are going to say that I have Julio way too high for a dynasty ranking. Yes, Julio is getting older. We all get older every day so what’s the point? I haven’t seen any signs of Julio slowing down and he continues to be one of the most dominant WRs in the league. Jones comes in as my WR 8 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

29. Kenny Golladay

 He is coming off back to back 1000 yard seasons and got off to a hot start in 2019. Even with the injury to Matthew Stafford, Golladay managed to still put together fantasy-relevant games together with Jeff Driskel and David Blough. Golladay is about to enter his 4th year in the NFL. In my opinion, he still has room to improve. Golladay comes in as my WR 9 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

30. Odell Beckham Jr

He will have a new coach in 2020, but I find Stefanski way more offensive-minded than Kitchens. Will he have a bounce-back season? Will Jarvis continue to steal more opportunities? And will the addition of Hooper inflate/deflate his role? There is so much up in the air with OBJ but his talent can trump all of that. Beckham Jr. comes in as my WR 10 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

31. Carson Wentz

Carson Wentz is the type of player for the Eagles that will ball out, but as soon as they need him the most, he ends up on the sideline. Weak offensive weapons have been the keynote for the Eagles since week one when DeSean Jackson was out for the year. Alshon Jeffery was in and out the whole season and Agholor was dropping crucial catches. Wentz comes in as my QB 8 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

32. D.J. Moore

I was surprised to see Moore take the next step after Cam Newton went down with an injury early in the season. Moore was very impressive despite getting the ball thrown to him from a carousel of bad QB play — Kyle Allen and Will Grier. I think the Panthers offense will see a big increase in 2020 under new head coach Matt Rhule and new OC Joe Brady. Moore comes in as my WR 11 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

33. JuJu Smith-Schuster

Big Ben will be back under center to start 2020 and this will help JuJu find his groove again. I do believe the Steelers should look to find their QB for the future in this draft class. If they were to add Jordan Love, I think he and JuJu would find a connection right away. Smith-Schuster comes in as my WR 12 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

34. Allen Robinson

Allen Robinson was the only positive part of the Bears offense in 2019. Robinson grabbed 98 catches for over 1,100 last season. A stat that stood out to me is that out of Robinson’s 98 catches, 63 of them were for 1st down. Without Robinson, the Bears offense would have gone nowhere. Robinson comes in as my WR 13 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

35. Keenan Allen

Keenan Allen is like fine wine– it gets better with age. Allen had one of the best seasons of his career despite the Chargers being a major disappointment in 2019. Keenan Allen has always been a great WR to own in PPR leagues, and in 2019 he had 104 catches to support that claim. Allen comes in as my WR 14 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

36. Miles Sanders

Miles Sanders had a slow start in 2019 after getting at least 11 touches in his first 4 games and only having 1 game over 10 fantasy points (PPR). The next several games for Sanders were off and on until week 9 where he would end up getting at least 12 touches a game until the end of the season. As long as Miles Sanders is involved in the passing game, he will be a consistent fantasy asset to own. Sanders comes in as my RB 13 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

37. Joe Burrow

Coming off a National Championship at LSU, Burrow is projected to be the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Cincinnati would be foolish to not take the QB that just threw for 60 TD this season. Burrow will be welcomed by Tyler Boyd and A.J. Green who has shown that he could make the transition much smoother for the Heisman winner. Burrow comes in as my QB 9 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

38. Travis Kelce

Travis Kelce still had a very good 2019 campaign despite Patrick Mahomes missing games due to injury. Kelce’s production took a little hit in 2019 and didn’t have the same godly numbers he had in 2018. However, week after week, Kelce is one of the most consistent fantasy TE in this league. Travis Kelce has been a household name for most people over the last 4 seasons. Kelce comes in as my TE 2 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

39. Tua Tagovailoa

After taking over for Jalen Hurts in the second half of the 2018 National Championship, many soon knew how great of a player he could be. Tua has had an unfortunate time with injuries the past 2 years, however, I don’t believe that it has hurt his draft stock. Tagovailoa comes in as my QB 10 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

40. Austin Ekeler

Austin Ekeler was quite a surprise for those who took him in 2019 fantasy drafts. Through the first 4 weeks of the 2019 season, Ekeler was the RB2 in fantasy points just behind fantasy MVP, Christian McCaffrey. Ekeler can do it all. He is a premier pass-catcher out of the backfield but this doesn’t mean that he can’t run between the tackles. Ekeler comes in as my RB 14 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

41. A.J. Brown

That is the only downside to Brown’s game in 2019, he just didn’t get targeted enough. The Titans will move forward with Tannehill as their starter and his relationship with Brown will continue to grow in 2020. I didn’t think Brown would produce numbers in an offense like the Titans, but he is their outright WR1 and this kid has game. Brown comes in as my WR 15 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

42. Matt Ryan

Matt Ryan has been a consistent QB in the league over the last 5 years. Ryan had his best year in 2016 when he was named the NFL MVP. He finished as the 11th fantasy QB in 2019. Ridley and Jones could combine to absolutely torch defenses in 2020. Even at 34, his consistency makes him a great target in dynasty leagues. Not to mention a regular schedule of the Saints, Falcons, and Panthers twice a year which usually ends up as the highest scoring games on the week. Ryan comes in as my QB 11 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

43. Kenyan Drake

Now, Kenyan’s raw talent can be used to fruition with his zone running traits and his catching ability in a spread air raid offense. Kenyan didn’t record a single touchdown through his first 6 games in 2019. Drake managed to get 8 touchdowns in the remaining 8 games he played in. Although inflated stats played a role for Drake, all this means is his ceiling is at an all-time high for him. Drake comes in as my RB 15 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

44. Courtland Sutton

I do believe that the Broncos have found their future QB in Lock. Drew has the swagger and will be able to lead this offense the way it is attended to be. Sutton is a big receiver that is a good route-runner but also can go up and grab balls in the end zone. Sutton comes in as my WR 16 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

45. CeeDee Lamb

He has been a playmaker the last 3 years at Oklahoma. Lamb has been fortunate enough to play with Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, and Jalen Hurts. CeeDee has always been on stride regardless of who his QB was. Lamb took his game to a whole different level in 2019. He can dominate at all 3 levels of the field. Lamb comes in as my WR 17 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

46. Mark Andrews

When Lamar Jackson passed the ball, Andrews was usually the target. Andrews plays a huge role in the middle of the field for the Ravens. As teams learn how to stop the rushing attack of Lamar Jackson and Mark Ingram, Andrews will continue to shine in the passing game. Lamar will look early and often at Andrews in 2020. I do not doubt that he could have close to 10 scores again in 2020. Andrews comes in as my TE 3 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

47. Jerry Jeudy

Jeudy is most people’s WR 1 in this rookie class, and I think he is very talented and deserves that respect. Jerry Jeudy is the best route runner in college football. Jeudy also has a deep game and can fly down the sidelines to secure a long catch. Jeudy comes in as my WR 18 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

48. Leonard Fournette

If you were to witness a running back to have 1152 rushing yards with 100 targets and 552 receiving yards, how many TD do you think he would have? There is not a chance 3 would be the answer and that was exactly the case for Leonard Fournette in 2019. He had so many chances to find the endzone this year but couldn’t fall into the pay-dirt. I’ll be interested to see if they will ship Fournette before the 2020 season begins. Fournette comes in as my RB 16 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

49. Baker Mayfield

Stefanski believes that “the sky’s the limit” for his new QB. If OBJ and Jarvis Landry stay in Cleveland, Mayfield could have a good chance of turning his career around. Mayfield is only 24 years old and could provide a high upside if you were to take a chance on him in your draft. Mayfield comes in as my QB 12 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.

50. Cooper Kupp

Kupp had 94 catches for over 1,150 yards in 2019 and the Rams offense struggled for most of the season. I can only imagine that Sean McVay is working hard this offseason to get his offense back on track. Jared Goff will continue to take strides in his game. Kupp comes in as my WR 19 in my Dynasty SuperFlex Rankings.
