I really do not care for the term FLEX. The only thing the FLEX can do that the DP cannot is play defense only, but the FLEX cannot play offense only.

One is no more "flexible" than the other. Personally, I liked the term DEFO as that is the actual description of the player in the 10th spot.

JMHO
