Berry: Week 16 Flex Rankings Update
Read Matthew Berry's Love/Hate for more start 'em, sit 'em advice.
The "change" column records player rankings movement since Thursday morning's edition. A number with parentheses means that the player has dropped that many places in the rankings. A number without parentheses expresses a gain. Players who played Thursday are no longer included in these rankings.
