Playoffs? Sorry, had to do it in honor of this week’s kickoff to the fantasy playoffs. We’ll get you set up for all of your decisions with this week’s edition of the flex rankings. Be sure to check out our staff rankings for all weekly rankings.

Updated Dec. 10. Movement from Wednesday’s rankings are displayed in parenthesis.

1. (0) David Johnson, ARI (RB1) — We're really splitting hairs at the No. 1 spot between Bell and Johnson. Both are seeing elite workloads.

2. (0) Le'Veon Bell, PIT (RB2) — See above.

3. (0) Antonio Brown, PIT (WR1) — He's the top fantasy receiver in both PPR and standard scoring. Enough said.

4. (0) Ezekiel Elliott, DAL (RB3) — Elliot has over 200 more rushing yards than any other running back this season.

5. (0) Mike Evans, TB (WR2) — The league leader in targets gets a plus matchup against the Saints. He also faces them in Week 16.

6. (0) LeSean McCoy, BUF (RB4) — McCoy posted a massive 191 scrimmage yards last week and gets to run behind one of the league's best run-blocking offensive lines.

7. (2) Melvin Gordon, SD (RB5) — He's one of just five running backs with double-digit touchdowns and is just eight rushing yards away from 1,000.

9. (-2) DeMarco Murray, TEN (RB6) — Denver is succepible to the run, so look for the Titans to lean heavily on Murray this week.

10. (0) Spencer Ware, KC (RB7)

11. (0) Julio Jones, ATL (WR4) — He's dealing with turf toe, but should be good to go this week. Keep an eye on his practice reports though.

13. (4) Matt Forte, NYJ (RB8) — The Jets are trending in the wrong directions, but Forte gets an upgrade this week against the 49ers.

14. (0) Devonta Freeman, ATL (RB9) — Four of Freeman's seven rushing touchdowns have come in the last two weeks.

15. (0) Dez Bryant, DAL (WR6) — With the Cowboys' offense firing on all cylinders, Bryant is an every-week WR1.

16. (0) Jordy Nelson, GB (WR7) — He's fifth in fantasy scoring among wide receivers and is one of just three wideouts with double-digit touchdowns.

17. (3) Jeremy Hill, CIN (RB10) — His yards per carry is concerning, but Hill is seeing a massive workload with Giovani Bernard on injured reserve.

18. (3) Larry Fitzgerald, ARI (WR8) — Only Antonio Brown and Mike Evans have seen more targets this season.

19. (0) Amari Cooper, OAK (WR9)

20. (2) Jay Ajayi, MIA (RB11) — He's still running hard but gets another tough matchup this week against the Cards.

21. (4) Doug Baldwin, SEA (WR10) — Green Bay struggles against the pass, so Baldwin gets an upgrade this week.

22. (-9) Jordan Howard, CHI (RB12) — Howard exploded against the 49ers last week and gets another strong matchup against Detroit.

23. (1) Thomas Rawls, SEA (RB13) — Rawls exploded on Sunday night, but faces a tough Packers run defense.

24. (-1) Latavius Murray, OAK (RB14)

25. (-7) Julian Edelman, NE (WR11) — With Rob Gronkowski banged up and/or out of the lineup, Edelman has seen 38 targets over the last three weeks.

27. (18) Tyrell Williams, SD (WR13) — Williams gets a fantastic matchup against a suspect Panthers' secondary.

28. (2) Frank Gore, IND (RB15) — The old man continues to see heavy volume and remains a low upside RB2.

29. (2) Brandin Cooks, NO (WR14) — The Saints receivers can be tricky, but Cooks remains the highest upside play.

30. (-2) Carlos Hyde, SF (RB16) — San Francisco is one of the worst teams in the league, but Hyde continues to post RB2 numbers.

44. (-8) Brandon Marshall, NYJ (WR21) — Bryce Petty under center doesn't help Marshall's cause, but he still has upside as a WR2.

85. (-6) Zach Ertz, PHI (TE8) — Another tight end on the rise, Ertz is a strong play this week.

89. (11) Eric Ebron, DET (TE9)

94. (-8) Sterling Shepard, NYG (WR47)

(It’s PFF Fantasy’s free content week. Keep up with all our free offerings here.)

103. (7) Jacquizz Rodgers, TB (RB42) — Rodgers could see some more work as a runner, but not enough to warrant a start.

114. (23) Chris Ivory, JAC (RB45)

115. (11) Robby Anderson, NYJ (WR56) — There's upside with Anderson. He's worth a desperation dart in deep leagues.

118. (14) Chris Thompson, WAS (RB46)

120. (-7) Will Fuller, HOU (WR58)

123. (-1) Jeremy Maclin, KC (WR60)

124. (NR) Jordan Reed, TE (WAS) — He's still very much up in the air for this week, but he did get limited work in practice.
