As if the injuries were not bad enough, well, now fantasy football managers have to navigate concerning weather forecasts as they look to advance another week in their playoffs. The lineup decision that is perhaps most impacted by this is the Flex position, where the weather changes completely how we evaluate RBs, WRs, and TEs relative to each other.
With tough decisions to be made, our Week 16 Flex rankings are here to help make the difficult feel just a little bit easier.
