Kareem Hunt: Flex Rankings Week 16

So when it comes to fantasyrunning back rankings one thing we know is that Kareem Hunt has become a must-start player who, apparently, is going to produce a long touchdown every week.

We also know that Paul Perkins, a sleeper candidate for many entering this season, is completely untrustworthy. That is, unless you’re in a 32-team league and even then it’s debatable.

But what about the fringe players? What do you so with guys like Mark Ingram, Frank Gore and Lamar Miller for Week 5? See for yourself in this week's running back rankings.
