Getting the FLEX spot right in your fantasy lineups on a week-to-week basis could be the difference between a win and a loss. We'd all love to be able to have a set-it-and-forget-it player slotted in there but sometimes it's not that simple.

Sometimes you have to mine your bench or even the waiver wire, to dissect individual and team matchups to make the best decision. Sometimes you're even forced to start a player you otherwise wouldn't.
