Subject: Who to start?


  Posted by: Kyle - [52753312] Thu, Dec 07, 2006, 06:01

I have to fill a Flex Spot in one league and I was wondering who I could use to fill the spot.
Chris Henry vs. Oak
Reuben Droughns @ Pit

I have no idea which way to lean.


In another league I have:
Eli @ Car
B. Johnson @ Det

I am leaning toward Eli in this matchup, but any help would be great.

Thanks!

Johnson has looked like he needs his Geritol all year long. I'd have a hard time starting him, if he were playing my old HS team. (And I drafted him as my backup in one league. Didnt take all that long to drop him.) OTH, Eli has pretty much svcked lately. Tough spot, but I think you gotta go with Eli there.

Henry blanked last week, but I look for a rebound this week. That said, I have him benched in a playoff game this week. *shrug* With Droughns, you just dont know how many carries he's gonna get. Still, I think you almost have to go RB at flex vs WR, unless the matchups are obviously favoring the WR in a big way.

After responding above, I may have now "over thought" this one. I just swapped out my WRs and started Henry. With OAKs Pass D being so tough, I figure Johnson and TJ will be blanketed all day with Johnson drawing alot of douoble coverage. This should, in theory, leave Henry 1-on-1 all day.
