Should Your Flex Be a Wr or Rb?

As a general rule to follow, remember this: fill your flex spot almost always with either a running back or a wide receiver. Very rarely will it ever make good sense to use a tight end.

What position is best for flex in fantasy football?

In a PPR league, any receiver or running back that can pull down a handful of catches each week is a good play at the flex spot. In addition to the production a team can get out of its RB1 and RB2 — or WR1 and WR2 spots — a pass-catcher from either position is a solid play at flex.

Are RB or WR more valuable in PPR?

Generally makes it better to start a WR at flex over RB. The #25 RB will score a lot less in PPR over the season than the #25 WR. Slightly decreases QB value, as their point total is now a smaller % of the team total.
