Brandon Olivier vs Denver? Or McKinnon vs. Tampa?

What's your roster? Who is starting in the flex?

No flex. Lacy is RB1. Trying to determine RB2.

Close call. I'm debating between the two for my flex at the moment. Leaning towards McKinnon.

That's a tough one. I would probably go McKinnon in a standard, Oliver in a PPR. I would revisit that on Sunday morning, though.

It would be hard to revisit on Sunday since Oliver plays tomorrow.
I like Oliver's chances to find the endzone, but I think McKinnon is the favorite to get more yardage and maybe receptions.
Bit of a toss up. Go with your gut.

Really? I like Oliver to get receptions considering San Diego will probably be playing from behind and Rivers will be throwing a lot of check downs. I would still probably start McKinnon against TB anyway, though.

McKinnon. With Oliver you run the risk of SD falling behind by a lot and basically taking him away from running the ball.

I am in a similar position. I have McKinnon, Bell, and Oliver. Can't use one in the flex position because I have DT, Dez, and Mike Wallace.
I'm leaning Bell and Oliver.
Chargers will play keep away from Manning and Oliver is on the field a lot. Last week he was on the field for 75% offensive snaps and got the ball 50% of the time he was on the field. He will get his carries and is a target for Rivers as well.
The only thing that concerns me is that the Broncos looked good recently stopped the run but they also struggled earlier this season against the run.
I don't think the Broncos will dominate and run away with the game early on as a lot think. Peyton Manning’s passer rating is almost 14 points worse against Chargers DC John Pagano than all other teams since 2002.
McKinnon might be the better back against a inferior defense in TB but Oliver will get the ball a lot of opportunities to make something happen. I think he will get 20+ carries and a few receptions.

I'm in a similar situation. I've got Hillman, J Bell, McKinnon, and Oliver. I can start 3 so I'm going with Hillman, Oliver, and McKinnon.
I like Oliver slightly better since He is in a better offense and we don't know if Asiata will steal GL carries
