The answer to this question depends on a number of factors, including the scoring system used in your league, the size of your league, and your team’s specific needs. However, there are a few Flex players who are generally considered to be among the best in fantasy football.
Some of the top Flex players in fantasy football include running backs Le’Veon Bell and Ezekiel Elliott, wide receivers Antonio Brown and Julio Jones, and tight end Travis Kelce. These players are all considered to be among the best at their respective positions, and they should be able to provide your team with a significant amount of points.
What is a flex in fantasy football
The flex position in fantasy football is a spot on your roster that can be filled by a player from any of the main positions: quarterback, running back, wide receiver, or tight end. The flex is typically used to give you more flexibility in your lineup, as it allows you to start a player who might not be the best at their position, but who has a favorable matchup.
For example, let’s say you have two running backs on your team: Le’Veon Bell and Ezekiel Elliott. Both of these players are considered to be among the best at their position, but they are also in the same division (the AFC North), so they will often play each other. If you have Bell and Elliott in your lineup, then you would likely start one of them at running back and the other at the flex position. This would allow you to take advantage of their favorable matchups while still getting points from both players.
