::RANKINGS UPDATED AS OF DECEMBER 10, 2011::

The Bruno Boys Top 100 Flex Position Rankings is the latest addition to our weekly rankings series. The goal is to help fantasy owners make better decisions about which player or position to go with at the flex spot. Our flex rankings are based on standard scoring and combine the three most common flex-eligible positions—running backs, wide receivers and tight ends—into a single ranking sheet.
 
We use the Bruno Boys individual positional rankings as a baseline for determining a player’s point projection or value in the flex position. When two players grade out similarly—as in the case of a running back and wide receiver—the running back will generally be the recommended play. Why? It’s quite simple, really. Running backs tend to get more opportunities to touch the ball than either wide receivers or tight ends. The more touches a player gets, the greater his chances to put points on the board.

So let’s get to it. Here are the Top 100 Flex Position Rankings for Week 14.
