Finally free from obsessing over draft rankings, fantasy football gamers can now redirect their attention to Week 1 rankings.
People love ordered lists, and the weekly exercise at least helps more than predraft arrangements. "Should I start Player X or Y in my flex spot?" is easier to answer through rankings than deciding whether to select Alex Smith or Josh Doctson in the 12th round without knowing that person's specific league and previous 11 picks.
Assembling an All-Star squad won't produce a championship unless the manager also starts the right players on a weekly basis. Daily fantasy participants also must assess the entire player pool to find the optimal selections, so let's rank Week 1's top flex options in point-per-reception (PPR) formats.
