3rd WR and Flex? WHIR

[Doughhead]

Need to start one of these as my 3rd WR:

Wes Welker
Eddie Royal
DeSean Jackson

Need to start one of these as my FLEX:

Mike Bell
Pierre Thomas
Beanie Wells
Wes Welker
Eddie Royal
DeSean Jackson

Personally, I would avoid Welker because of his injury. Royal is a little safer bet, but it's not clear if Orton and/or Marshall will be starting. If Orton looks good and Marshall is out, I'd go with Royal. Otherwise (or if it still isn't clear by the time you need to set your lineup), I'd use D Jackson for your WR.

Because of all these questions, and since I tend to like RB in the FLEX spot, I would go with Mike Bell at FLEX. I'm pretty doubtful that Thomas will play, and it's unclear how much Wells will contribute at this point in the season.

Please keep in mind that I err on the conservative side. I'd rather get 5-10 points at my WR3 and FLEX spot than risk a 0 for the possibility of a big game. If you think that you need to 'go big', go with Wells and hope that he shines.

Thanks for the help on mine ( http://www.fantasyfootballcafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=445153&view=viewpoll )

Thanks for replying in my thread.
I would go with DeSean Jackson. I heard Marshall is going to play and I don't trust Orton to do well. As for flex, Mike Bell as long as Pierre remains questionable.
