Who Should I Put in My Fantasy Flex Spot?
WR Zay Flowers vs. Tennessee Titans
Last week, Zay Flowers finished as the WR28 with five receptions and 73 yards. All of the Ravens WRs seemed to have grease on their hands, and Flowers could have had a much bigger day if he had converted two other plays downfield.

You can go back to the well with Flowers and put him in your Flex position this week in what should be a good matchup against the Titans. Tennessee has allowed the seventh-most yards to opposing WRs, and Flowers comes in as the WR21 in PFN’s Consensus Rankings.
WR Garrett Wilson vs. Philadelphia Eagles
We live in a world where it is scary to start any Jets pass catcher due to Zach Wilson. Oh, how the mighty have fallen with Garrett Wilson, who would have continually been in the WR1 conversation if Aaron Rogers had just stayed healthy. The Jets were unable to truly take advantage of the dodgy Denver defense in Week 5, but Wilson remains in the Flex conversation.
It is a scary matchup against the Eagles, but knowing what we know about the chances of the Jets falling behind early, it’s likely that they will have to pass a lot. Wilson is currently the WR34 in PFN’s Consensus Rankings.
WR Adam Thielen vs. Miami Dolphins
Apparently, you can teach old dogs new tricks, as Adam Thielen is having one of the best seasons of his career as the WR10. Against Detroit last week, he caught 11 balls for 107 yards and a TD. A lot of Thielen’s success comes in garbage time, but fantasy production is fantasy production.

Thielen is up against Miami this week, and Carolina should be down early, so the game script could lead to more passing. Rookie QB Bryce Young loves Thielen, so look for targets heading his way. He is PFN’s WR22.
RB D’Onta Foreman vs. Minnesota Vikings
The injury bug has bit Chicago badly as of late, with Khalil Herbert landing on IR and Roschon Johnson out for Week 6 due to a concussion. This leaves D’Onta Foreman as the last RB standing, and he will be the RB1 for the Bears this week.
Foreman has filled in for injured RBs before with decent success and is a good Flex option against an average Vikings defense against the run. He is PFN’s RB28 this week.
