Not all leagues are created equal, and not all of them have starting spots designated for Flex players. But for those that do, we offer two versions of our Top 150 rank lists: One for standard formats and one for PPR formats. You might notice some peculiar rankings here, and that's because these are based solely from my weekly projections -- not an average of multiple points of view. So if a tight end is projected to get 20 yards and a touchdown, he'll be equal to a quality running back projected for 80 total yards. Thus, use these rankings as a starting point for your weekly research and use your own judgment to determine who you should consider starting.

Week 12 highlight: This week the Chargers welcome Vincent Jackson back from a long suspension, and the timing couldn't be better. San Diego is in the thick of a playoff run at 5-5 and have the hottest quarterback in the league in Philip Rivers. They also are dealing with numerous injuries to their receiving corps and need all the firepower they can get for their Week 12 showdown with the Colts. Jackson is at 100 percent health and familiar with the offense, so any rust that he might have should be knocked off quickly. With Rivers throwing as effectively as he has and San Diego likely to plug Jackson right into their starting lineup, it makes all the sense in the world that he produces right away. His yardage history against the Colts hasn't been amazing, but it's obvious that he's a tremendous red-zone target who Rivers will lock into right away. He's a must to have in Fantasy lineups this week if you roster isn't stacked already.

Look out for our Flex rankings every Tuesday with an update every Friday throughout the season.
