Are you looking for the perfect flexing option to put into your lineup? Do not worry, as I have you covered with the top flexing plays each week. The formula is simple. I look at running backs and wide receivers starting with the RB25/WR25 and dig deeper. I use FantasyPros ADP for the rankings and its one-point PPR. Fantasy Points are translated to FPs.
Jordan Howard
Jordan Howard has been solid for the last two weeks. Howard has scored three touchdowns during that time and is getting the volume to boot. He had 17 carries last week and rushed for 71-yards against the Chargers to go along with his 12 in Week 8. As long as Miles Sanders is out, the primary ball carrier is Howard. It will be a difficult matchup against the Broncos (8th toughest in FPs allowed) and is ranked 30th this week, with significant upside.

Kenyan Drake
Kenyan Drake has seen more action since the Raiders and Jon Gruden parted ways. Drake scored two touchdowns against the Broncos, had 17 touches with another score against the Eagles, and 10 touches for a total of 100-yards versus the Giants. The Raiders take on the Chiefs this week, and they allow the 24th most FPs to running backs. Drake ranks 33rd and could vault into the top-25.
AJ Dillon
AJ Dillon has been improving since the start of the season. Most importantly, Dillon is getting more touches as the season moves along – 44 in the last four games. Dillon has only scored once, but it could change against the Seahawks (the 27th most FPs allowed).
Mark Ingram
There are unconfirmed rumors that Alvin Kamara may miss one or more weeks. Therefore, Mark Ingram should become the primary ball carrier if Kamara is out. Ingram is looking more explosive in a New Orleans uniform, and the matchup against Tennessee will be difficult. The Titans allow only the seventh most FPs, but the volume will be there. Ingram ranks 38th and makes a solid flexing option this week and should climb if Kamara is not playing.
Jerry Jeudy
Jerry Jeudy has been heavily involved in the offense since returning from his injury. In the two games, he has 10 catches for 128-yards on 12 targets. Jeudy has been a double-digit producer in two of his three contests. Still, the Eagles’ defense allows the fourth-lowest FPs to wide receivers. However, Teddy Bridgewater should find opportunities to get Jeudy to double-digit points. He ranks 26th.
Marquez Callaway
The Saints’ passing game has taken a hit with the Jameis Winston injury. Trevor Simien has been more of a game manager than a quarterback that can drive the offense down the field. Callaway is a downfield threat, and he has been getting more targets as the season has gone on. Callaway has four double-digit point weeks in six contests. The Saints face the Titans are the worst in the league in FPs allowed, and Callaway should find open room to navigate. Callaway makes a solid flexing option and ranks 40th.
Elijah Moore
Elijah Moore has been getting more targets now that Zac Wilson has been out. Moore has had 13 receptions on 14 targets for 151-yards and two touchdowns in the last two weeks. His two scores came against Indianapolis in Week 9. However, the rookie has increased his point production from 5-10-13-27 in consecutive weeks. Moore ranks 41st as the Bills will offer a formidable opponent, 1st overall in FPs allowed against wide receivers.
Jamal Agnew
Jamal Agnew wasn’t really active in the first four weeks as he caught just one pass. However, Agnew has had three double-digit performances in the last four contests. Agnew has five or more targets in each game and no less than three receptions. The Jaguars face the Colts, who allow the 28th most FPs to wide receivers, and he ranks 53rd, which will be a challenging climb into flex territory.
