NFL Week 2 fantasy flex rankings: Top streamers, starts

Another fantasy football season, another year where Christian McCaffrey is a top player.

The San Francisco 49ers running back had an OK performance in the season opener, a 27-7 handling of the Los Angeles Rams. He posted 10 carries for 68 yards on the ground and five catches for 20 yards receiving. After a day of rest, he is expected to excel in the Week 2 matchup, a home game against the lowly Miami Dolphins.

But the four-time Pro Bowler isn't the only running back that is a great option for the flex position on a fantasy roster. Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs are also good choices.

Or, if you're more of a wide receiver person, CeeDee Lamb or Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who had a 100-yard game with a touchdown in the Seattle Seahawks' 13-10 win in the season opener, might be your cup of tea.

Here are our Week 2 flex rankings in PPR scoring to help you set your lineup.
