If you could start any of these guys at Flex, who would it be?

12 team, 1 pt PPR.

Stevan Ridley @ Balt (gives up 3.8 YPC)

Lamar Miller @ Buffalo (gives up 4.3 YPC, 8 TDS)

Jarrett Boykin vs Pitt (6/83 last week, but was cold the 2 weeks prior)

Chris Ivory vs CLE (gives up 3.7 YPC, but 11 TDs)

Doug Baldwin vs AZ (1 catch, 16 yards previous matchup. But 15 PPG the last 6 weeks)

Dennis Johnson vs DEN (has been giving up 4.4 YPC the last 6 weeks)


Right now I'm leaning to Dennis Johnson, I feel like kind of need to take a risk. 2nd would be Baldwin, because of his steadiness. 3rd I have Lamar Miller. He had 15 carries last week, and i think if they can get him the ball like that again, he could have a nice day vs Buffalo

can you make a case for any of the other guys? Boykin was my flex guy for weeks, but I can't have 2 or 3 points like he has done twice the last 2 of the 3 weeks.

Also, Dennis Pitta, or Andrew Quarles ?

Pitta was good 2 weeks ago, but they are still limiting his snaps. He didn't do much this past week

Quarless has 12 catches 132 yards and 2 TDs the last 2 weeks.

Baldwin and Johnson are the only 2 I would consider.

I am. Now with Tate out he will get a lot of carries. The one thing that scares me is Denver going up on them 21-0 and they would abandon the run.

Da Rick was never on my team, i had Hunter. Who was a last minute scratch cause of behavior. He was still 2nd in targets and played just about every snap. They kind of had the game in hand for most of the game though.

Gotcha.

To answer your question, I'd probably go Dennis Johnson. I think Lamar Miller is a bum, but I can see him scoring. It'll probably be a shoot out. Stay away from Boykin.

Lester would you start Dennis Johnson over Gio Bernard?

I can see doing that in week 6, but I just couldn't gamble with a player like that in the playoffs. Of course if he goes for 6/100/TD your legend status becomes more cemented. I'm not a Patterson fan either, but he has been getting more looks with Cassell. Plus Matthew Berry loves him.

Each had 6 targets.

Like i said i felt i was behind the 8 ball with losing gronk and needed to take a risk to win. Turns out that wasn't the case, I won anyway by playing Baldwin.

I guess i made the comment coming from my perspective, but al the guys he had available kind of told me he was in the same situation

Thanks. My other backs are Ryan Mathews and J. Charles. I'll put Gio in the flex spot. I'm going against F. Gore, A. Morris and D. Sproles. Who has the RB edge in your opinion?

Sproles and Morris have been disappointing. I like yours better

I'd probably take a chance on Johnson. Houston will be losing Tate in the offseason and Foster is always hurt. I think they are going to feed Johnson this week to see what he can do in the future.

Goon, I agree with you. My only concern is Houston being down a lot and abandoning the run.

Also, would you start Johnson over Gio Bernard (vs. Vikings)?
