Help at flex: Nate Burleson, Fred Jackson or Ryan Grant

This is non-PPR, a tenth of a point a yard, 6 for a rushing TD, 7 receiving TD. Bonus at a 100 for receivers and 150 rushing.

Pretty happy overall but concerned about these three this week. Best option for WR/RB flex spot?

Nate Burleson (Sea v Ind), Fred Jackson (Buf v Mia, with Lynch returning), or Ryan Grant (GB v Min).

The other complication is that I'm starting Ahmad Bradshaw (NYG v KC)… he's wearing a boot and not practicing. Giants saying he's a definite go for Sunday but why run the guy if you don't need to. Concerned that even if he starts he'll be limited.

Waiting to see what Lynch means for Jackson… Miami is good against the run, less good in the air and Jackson can catch. Grant has been pretty good so far but so has Vikings run D. Burleson is getting throws and catching them.

Any thoughts?

I'd go w/ Grant in the flex.

I'd also go w/ Burleson over Manningham - Giants are going to run the ball down KC's throat, Carr will be on the field in the 4th.

Manningham was not good for a lot of points last week and I'm expecting this game to be similar. But if Bradshaw isn't soaking up the garbage time why not play catch?

Grant at Flex and Burleson at WR doesn't seem like a bad idea, but if I bench Bradshaw one of the two RBs (Grant) is starting there…

Then it'd be Jackson or Manningham for flex?

I would go with Grant in the flex for sure (over Manningham).

Also, agreed about Burleson over Manningham. Giants will run the entire 2nd half. The Seahawks will be throwing against a very banged up Colts D. Start Burleson this week

Give me a hand?

If Bradsahw doesn't play, I'd go w/ Jacobs, Grant, Jackson, Wayne, Harvin, Burelson.

I see the Giants passing game this way - in games where they are "challenged" (@NO, ARI, @PHI, SD, ATL, DAL, PHI) and need to put up some points - Manningham is a good play. In games where they can enforce their will on lesser opponents (OAK, DEN, CAR, WAS, KC, TB) - I wouldn't trust Manningham for decent numbers.

When they can just pound the ball w/ Jacobs/Bradshaw & the rest of their running game, Eli isn't going to (or have to) take many chances down the field, when that happens, I wouldn't trust playing Manningham - he's more of the big play guy.

Not to mention that in games where the Giants can build a big lead (like this week) Eli is going to be watching from the sidelines in the 4th quarter - just like last week.
