Flex help.::.C. Taylor/ W. McGahee/ J. Gage - Pick 1!

Postby RazzLeDazzLe » Sat Sep 19, 2009 8:25 am

Hi everyone... First post of the new season. B-)

I need to pick a flex out of these guys - We are a PPR league.

Chester Taylor (min, rb) - may make plays in garbage time this week against lions?

Willis McGahee (bal, rb) - vs. SD

Justin Gage (ten, wr) - vs. HOU

Any ideas? Thanks! :-)

I would go with Taylor, especially in a PPR. McGahee may get a TD, but too iffy for me to bank on.

I'd go with Taylor for sure (especailly since it's a PPR league)... hopefully the vickings blow them out early, and then let taylor play garbage time (highly probable). either way he'll get some touches regardless, and the lions r obviously weak against the run. gage would also be a decent choice, but nate wash. is coming back this week and might take some balls from him (i still view him as a decent flex play too). overall, go with Taylor!!

I like Taylor too...in fact I'm playing him at my flex this week also and I'm a Peterson owner...Min will dominate on the ground and Taylor catches 90% of the balls out of the backfield so even better in PPR

Help with mine?

I would play Gage, especially PPR.

I don't understand the philosophy of thinking a backup RB who catches a couple passes a game is all of a sudden a star performer in a PPR league.

PPR does nothing but help Gage. No way Taylor has more catches than Gage, Gage should have more yardage, and is just as likely to get a TD.

I would rank them:

Gage--nice start
Mcgahee--I think he is a good start too
Taylor--no way. How many carries did he get last week when AP went for 180 and 3 tds??

i think the theory behind it is to play the matchup... vs. detroit they should have an early lead and possibly rest up ap near the end of the game, right?
