A surprising flex option to get through an incredibly tough fantasy football week

We have been behaving badly. All of us. How do we know? Just look at the wrath the fantasy gods have brought upon us.

There have been injuries: CeeDee Lamb, Malik Nabers, Tyreek Hill, Mike Evans, George Kittle, James Conner, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Terry McLaurin, and now Bucky Irving, Trey Benson and Chuba Hubbard.

There have been the disappointments, be it injury adjacent or just poor play: Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, Ashton Jeanty, Derrick Henry, Nico Collins, Brian Thomas Jr., Ladd McConkey, A.J. Brown, Alvin Kamara, Chase Brown, Tee Higgins, DJ Moore.

Those who haven’t gotten the opportunities expected: TreVeyon Henderson, RJ Harvey, T.J. Hockenson, Travis Hunter, Evan Engram.
