Joshua Palmer - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

The fantasy draft season is pretty much over, and now our focus shifts to Week 1. Most fantasy leagues start one or two flex spots when filling out a starting lineup. At RotoBaller HQ, we are here to help you decide on those all-important FLEX spots with our updated FLEX fantasy football rankings for Week 1 of the 2024 season. Use these FLEX rankings for RB/WR/TE decisions, and to start the season with a victory.

There are some injuries fantasy managers will need to monitor, such as Josh Downs, Tyler Lockett, Noah Fant, and Jordan Addison, who were limited or didn't practice on Wednesday. Our FLEX rankings factor in the latest injury news and depth chart updates coming out of the preseason. So let's see where key FLEXES such as Chuba Hubbard, Jaylen Warren, Chase Brown, Joshua Palmer, Dontayvion Wicks, Rico Dowdle, Luke Musgrave, Tyjae Spears, Tony Pollard, and Devin Singletary rank for Week 1.

Our FLEX PPR fantasy rankings are put together by Nick Mariano. In addition to our staff FLEX rankings, below you will also find a summary of the important fantasy football injury news for Week 1. There are always critical injuries to keep track of, so check back until kickoff. Good luck in Week 1 RotoBallers, let's win some leagues!
