PICK 3! Moreno or Mendenhall? Should I trust Roddy? WHIR100%

[RedBirdChica]

Happy Wednesday!!!

I have some decisions to make ... help me out and I WHIR with full analysis. I play in a standard scoring (no PPR) league.

Vying for three spots are ....
LeSean McCoy @ Chi
Roddy White @NYG (would normally be a lock for me ... but has been reeeeeeeeeeeaaallly up and down this year)
Jeremy Maclin @Chi
Knowshon Moreno @SD
Devery Henderson @TB

Please pick my:
RB2
WR2
Flex


My solid locks:
QB: Kurt Warner @StL
RB1: DeAngello Williams @Mia
WR1: Andre Johnson @Tenn
TE: Dallas Clark @Bal
D/ST: Bengals (Who dey?!) @Oak
K: David Akers @Chi

BONUS: ((Also of note: I have Greg Olsen @Phi, Vikings D/ST @Sea, and Lawrence Tynes @StL riding my bench. I don't hate Greg, but I can't sit DC. The other matchups, I don't so much like. If you think I'm crazy for sitting any of them - holler))

For your RB2 I would say go with McCoy he will have the starting job and has been playing well when filling in for Westbrook. WR2 I would have to go with White. For the flex position I would lean towards Moreno as it is a big game for them and I see Denver running alot to try and keep the ball out of Rivers hands.

I would start McCoy at RB2 this week. He has done pretty well in weeks that Westbrook has been absent, getting a TD in two of his three starts. Chicago's defense is mediocre, especially when covering multiple talented WR, allowing both Arizona and Cincinnati to throw for five TDs. For that reason, I see Philly getting ahead early and handing off to McCoy often in the second half.

With that said, I would not start Maclin as WR2. Chicago forces teams to spread the ball around in the passing game. In both of the five TD games, the scores were split between four receivers. The Bears pass defense is better than their run defense.

Instead, I would start Roddy White as WR2 against the Giants. The roles are reversed in this match-up, as NY will probably be the team ahead early, Eli Manning looked better in his last game, against the Chargers, going 25 of 33 for 2 TD and 0 INT. NY is coming off of a bye week and should be hungry for a win, especially in front of a home crowd. I think Atlanta will have to go to the air early and often, especially in the absence of Turner.

That leaves the flex position for either Moreno or Henderson. I would take a chance this week and start Henderson against Tampa. Moreno has not topped 100 yards in a game this season, even in the two games he was given 21 touches. I don't really see any indication that this week will be any different and the Chargers have been pretty good at keeping teams from crossing the goal line on the ground. Henderson has had a quiet season, so far, with only one TD and one 100+ yard game, way back in week one. I think, though, that he could have a huge upside this week against Tampa. Henderson's role, primarily, seems to be the long home run threat and Tampa has given up 12 passing TD this year of 20 yards or more. Henderson, also, could get more looks this week, if the Saints get ahead early and put Colston on the bench to help his recovery from the flu.

Just one man's opinion, hope it helps. I could use some help too...viewtopic.php?f=19&t=461262
