However, the 163 pts of the 20th ranked RB is equal to the 40th ranked WR. Which means, in a 12 team league, the flex is always better as WR. If you remove a RB for the roster for a flex it should almost always be replaced by a WR, marginalizing the RB position.
Of course the first RB of tier 2 (#13) may be better than the last WR of tier 3 (#36) but you get my point.
