Flex help, WHIR: Bradshaw or Jacobs @NO vs Northcutt @ GB

Postby fasttwitch » Sun Oct 18, 2009 9:55 am

my line up has All-Day in the RB1 slot, and Leon Washington in RB2.
I'm REALLY nervous about putting either NY Giant RB in at flex because the Saints are holding RB's down pretty well, but my bench is lousy right now.

So my flex choices are:
Brandon Jacobs, who is playing poorly these days
Ahmad Bradshaw, who is playing well but gets less touches
Dennis Northcutt (WR, Lions), who might have value if the Lions bench Megatron

WHIR

Thanks

I would stick with Jacobs.

Northcutt not a viable option.

Jacobs is the easy start for me. I wouldn't consider anyone form the Lions but Megatron or K. Smith.

Id play Jacobs...You at least know he'll get the goal line carries. I dont think Bradshaw will be busting off the megaruns against the Aints.

Thanx for help with mine.

Bradshaw..Jacobs gets no love at the goal line (TD's)..that could change, but track record, thus far, says he won't..

Thanks for help with mine! We're actually in a very similar situation.

I would hesitate in this situation with the NYG runners. Not only are they up against a good run D, but they are up against each other. Bradshaw has been taking the bulk of the points, but Jacobs might be a better situational back against a better defense.

However, I would take Northcutt. Detroit will probably be forced to pass to play catchup late against GB, and I think that Northcutt will see a lot of balls at this point.

Tough choice, but I would reason for Northcutt. Good luck!
