Subject: Who to flex?


  Posted by: Jets2 Win - [14839316] Wed, Sep 03, 2008, 17:56

I can start 2 RB's, 2 WR's, and 1 Flex.

I have Adrian Peterson, Maurice Jones-Drew, Willie Parker at RB. I have Reggie Wayne, Calvin Johnson, and Cotchery at WR. I am thinking of Peterson, Palker at RB...MJD at Flex...and Reggie Wayne & Calvin Johnson at WR.

Of note, I also have Roethlisberger as my QB...so I would be double dipping on Pittsburgh!! I hate double dipping, but I like the Pittsburgh matchup this week.

Scoring Settings?

If its standard 10 yards = 1 point TD = 6

I would go...

RB: Peterson, MJD
WR: Wayne, Johnson
Flex: Parker

I disagree, I'd use Cotchery in the flex. He's gonna go bananas
with Favre throwing against him against a rebuilt Miami defense.

It'll take a few weeks for Miami to figure things out...

I'd go as far to say to bench MJD against a very stingy Tennessee run defense and have Willie start against Houston. MJD isn't really the starter, and I don't see Mendenhall taking too many carries away from Willie after his fumbling preseason.

I agree with starting Cotchery, so for me the decision would be between Cotch and MJD, and I'd say Cotch. Like Vee, I see him having a big game against Miami.

I'm with JT. Cotchery might have a big game and he might have 3 receptions for 18 yards. I always flex my starting RB unless they are hurt or on a bye week. Much better chance for a TD with more touches than a WR.

Jets 2 Win - Willie Parker is hit or miss. He'll get you a paltry 3.1 YPC until he breaks a big run. I have never been a fan of those type of backs.

I'd go:
RB - Adrian Peterson (obvious)
RB - MJD
WR - Johnson
WR - Wayne
FL - Cotchery

Until Parker proves that he will be healthy all year, I'd go with Cotchery who is already starting to develop a Greg Jennings type relationship with Lord Favre. Also, its the Dolphins.

I concur with JT.

Until "No Gain" James shows he can actually be a viable fantasy option, you go with the aforementioned three.

I am in a points only league (TDS, FGs, etc)

Would you play Welker or Cotchery this week in the FLEX position? Thanks. I am leaning towards Welker, but wonder if Favre will be out to prove something.

Welker might not be 100% come game time on Sunday, so I would go Cotchery

Remember Tom Brady has a busted foot or something. I don't see KC putting up much of a fight, so Welker will get his, but I think the Favre-Cotchery combo will get you more.

no one thinks James has a great play vs SFO?

Its not a ppr league, I'm leaning towards Young,
James, Jones based on matchups
