Welcome to Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season and our weekly PPR dream football superflex rankings. We understand a lot of you contend in superflex formats that invite/covet 2nd quarterbacks in beginning lineups, so these rankings represent that. It may look odd to see the lowest-ranked dream passers ranked ahead of common RB2 and WR2 choices, however the prospective scoring effect needs it. If your league is of the basic flex range, simply disregard the existence of quarterbacks. Regardless, best of luck today!
