Subject: Who to Flex?


  Posted by: Jets2Win - [558321217] Fri, Sep 12, 2008, 18:36

Which TWO should I play...

WR - Cotchery
WR - Calvin Johnson
RB - Chris Johnson (TEN)

I would normally say Calvin Johnson & Cotchery, but Calvin is going up against a tough & agressive Green Bay d-backs.

I think Chris JOhnson will be something special this year, and I think Cotchery is going to out-size Hobbs from New England this week.

I say start Cotchery and Chris Johnson this week. What do you guys think? Forget the matchup...and just start Calvin & Cotchery?

I'd love to have all three flex options for this week. If Chris Johnson is healthy, I always lean towards flexing a starting RB, especially when they have a good matchup for the week. Cotchery has a better matchup going against the Lions defense than CJ does going against Green Bay but both have the potential for a 100 yard 1 TD kind of week. I can't call it.

I'd say Cotch and Chris Johnson. Chris Johnson should be in the lineup every week he has a decent lineup since RBs are the most constant performers. Cotchery seems to have really hooked up with Fav-ray ala Donald Driver style. He may not pick up the TDs but he'll get 6 catches for 75 yards.

I also don't like Calvin's matchup against GBs DBs. After watching that MNF game they bump and hold and get away with it more than any DB since the Pats-Rams Super Bowl. Calvin's a big guy, but I really think these DBs are able shut down almost every WR in the league. The only guys I'd start against them is one of the Top 5 WRs. The rest I'd sit.

I'd love to have that problem. All 3 are gonna be fine. I like Chris Johnson & Cotchery as the Titans are gonna be ahead of Cincy (in all likelihood) and Cotch is a Favorite.
