Updated Week 16 Flex Rankings for Fantasy Football: Devonta Freeman, Craig Reynolds, Van Jefferson, Christian Kirk, Rashod Bateman

It's playoffs time RotoBallers! Below you will see our staff's updated fantasy football Flex rankings for Week 16. Our goal is to get you to the fantasy football championships, and to win it all -- so let's take a look at where FLEX options like Devonta Freeman, Craig Reynolds, Van Jefferson, Christian Kirk and Rashod Bateman rank, among others?

In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of the important fantasy football injury news for this week. There are many key injuries and COVID-19 situations to keep track of, so be sure to check back until kickoff.

Our updated FLEX fantasy football rankings are built out weekly by three of our lead fantasy football analysts - Nick Mariano, Pierre Camus and Brandon Murchison. These fantasy football Flex rankings are geared towards the skill positions that are played in traditional Flex spots (RB/WR or RB/WR/TE). For most fantasy leagues, that Flex spot consists of running backs, wide receivers and in many cases tight ends. Make sure to follow the injury updates below, and good luck RotoBallers!
