Fantasy Football Week 7 Rankings: Top 50 Flex PPR Players
- Updated: October 18, 2016
Believe it or not, we’ve already waded through the first month and a half of the 2016 NFL season. This means, of course, that it’s getting to be crunch time in the fantasy football world.
There are 11 weeks remaining in the NFL regular season. For many fantasy leagues, however, the midway point of the regular season is here or rapidly approaching.
Hopefully, you’ve gotten off to a solid start, but it’s never too late to improve your fantasy team. This is especially true with injuries and bye weeks impacting the value of some top players.
