How to Use Flex Options
Flex options can be used in a variety of ways. They can be used to fill in for injured or underperforming players, or they can be used to add depth to your lineup. When choosing a flex option, it’s important to consider the matchup, the player’s recent performance, and the player’s overall upside.
Here are some tips for using flex options:
- Consider the matchup. A player who is facing a tough defense may not be a good flex option, even if they are a star player.
- Look at the player’s recent performance. A player who has been struggling in recent weeks may not be a good flex option, even if they have a good matchup.
- Consider the player’s overall upside. A player who has a lot of upside, even if they are not a star player, can be a good flex option.
By following these tips, you can use flex options to improve your fantasy football lineup and increase your chances of winning.
