It’s Wednesday, and that means it’s time to breakout the flex fantasy football rankings for Week 4 of the 2019 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. Remember that rankings change throughout the week, so be sure to check our staff rankings for updates.
1. Ezekiel Elliott, DAL @ NO (RB1) — He didn't get in the end zone last week, but Elliott did top 100 rushing yards and is going to get fed again this week.
2. Christian McCaffrey, CAR @ HOU (RB2) — McCaffrey enters the week third among running backs in fantasy scoring and is averaging a massive 24.7 touches per game.
3. Julio Jones, ATL vs TEN (WR1) — Remember that time when Jones didn't score touchdowns?
4. Austin Ekeler, LAC @ MIA (RB3) — There are rumblings that Melvin Gordon is going to report to the Chargers, but Ekeler remains an RB1 for at least one more week.
5. Alvin Kamara, NO vs DAL (RB4) — Even with Teddy Bridgewater under center, Kamara got it done last week.
6. David Johnson, ARI vs SEA (RB5) — Johnson has seen a healthy workload so far this season and remains a rock-solid RB1.
7. DeAndre Hopkins, HOU vs CAR (WR2) — Hopkins faced tough coverage last week but is poised to rebound in this matchup.
8. Keenan Allen, LAC @ MIA (WR3) — He's the league's most heavily targeted receiver and gets to face the Dolphins this week. ‘Nuff said.
9. Dalvin Cook, MIN @ CHI (RB6) — Cook has been fantastic so far this season, entering the week second among running backs in fantasy scoring.
10. Mark Ingram, BAL vs CLE (RB7) — Ingram's arrow is pointing up after last week's massive performance.
11. Davante Adams, GB vs PHI (WR4) — If it doesn't happen for Adams in this matchup, we can start panicking.
12. Travis Kelce, KC @ DET (TE1) — Tight end is brutal this season, unless you own Kelce.
13. Amari Cooper, DAL @ NO (WR5) — Cooper is off to a hot start and gets yet another favorable matchup.
14. Derrick Henry, TEN @ ATL (RB8) — Volume is key in fantasy football, and Henry is seeing plenty of it.
15. Odell Beckham Jr., CLE @ BAL (WR6) — Last week wasn't pretty, but Beckham is still an every-week WR1.
16. Tyler Lockett, SEA @ ARI (WR7) — With double-digit targets in each of the last two weeks, Lockett is in play as a top-10 option.
17. JuJu Smith-Schuster, PIT vs CIN (WR8) — The Steelers' offense isn't the same with Mason Rudolph under center, but Smith-Schuster is still going to produce.
18. Michael Thomas, NO vs DAL (WR9) — Likewise, Thomas is downgraded due to the quarterback position, but you still start him as a top-10 option.
19. James Conner, PIT vs CIN (RB9) — If it doesn't happen for Conner in this matchup, we can start panicking.
20. Marlon Mack, IND vs OAK (RB10) — Mack battled through an injury and managed a solid stat line last week. He's in play as a fringe RB1.
21. Cooper Kupp, LAR vs TB (WR10) — Kupp is coming off a two-score outing and gets a plus matchup.
22. Nick Chubb, CLE @ BAL (RB11) — This is a tough matchup, but Chubb's healthy workload keeps him in the RB1 conversation.
23. Mike Evans, TB @ LAR (WR11) — He went bonkers last week, but this is a much tougher matchup.
24. Kerryon Johnson, DET vs KC (RB12) — Upgrade Johnson against a Chiefs defense that allowed three rushing scores to Mark Ingram last week.
25. Chris Carson, SEA @ ARI (RB13) — Carson is trending down after a lackluster performance last week, but he's still in play as an RB2.
26. Sammy Watkins, KC @ DET (WR12) — Watkins enters the week third in the league in targets. A blow-up game is coming.
27. Kenny Golladay, DET vs KC (WR13) — Don't worry about last week. Golladay bounces back in this one.
28. Todd Gurley, LAR vs TB (RB14) — Believe it or not, the Bucs have been very good against the run this season.
29. Chris Godwin, TB @ LAR (WR14) — Godwin was a bit of a fantasy dud last week, but he's still an every-week starter.
30. Aaron Jones, GB vs PHI (RB15) — Jones bailed out fantasy owners with two touchdowns last week, but his arrow is pointing down with a committee situation in place in the Packers' backfield.

77. Nelson Agholor, PHI @ GB (WR43)
