Getting the flex spot right can often mean the difference between a fantasy football win and a loss — especially in these weeks when most leagues are in the midst of their playoffs.
Take Devin Singletary in Week 15, for example. Many fantasy managers likely benched Singletary ahead of a tough matchup against the Tennessee Titans' run defense, and with Dameon Pierce active.
Those managers likely missed out on Singletary's 19.00-fantasy-point outing — which equated to week-winning production out of the flex spot.
