Week 11 flex/WR help -- WHIR!

[jrwatts]

First, which WR3 do I start this week?

Burleson @ MIN
Hester vs. PHI

And who do I start at flex?

Betts @ DAL
Moreno vs. SD

I could also start one of the receivers at flex, but I think one of the RB's is a better option. Help please!

Thanks! Post a link and I will help in return, as always.

I would start Hester this week over Burlson. Hester has been fairly consistant this season and is the true number one reciever ahead of Bennett and Knox. I think the Bears will get behind in the game fairly early, causing them to go to the air often. Philly has the better pass defense, but has given up as many passing TDs as Minnesota and only allows about 20 less passing YPG.

For the flex spot, I think you are right, use one of the RBs. This one is hard to call, as Betts had looked great in the past two weeks, while Moreno has a more established role on his offense. The defensive match-up is slightly better for Moreno, but I would say Betts is the better gamble, as he has to prove his value to the team, while Portis is still on the sidelines.

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

I actually like Burleson better than Hester against the Viking corners, but I think Hasselbeck may spend too much time on his back to find him often enough. Cutler should hit Hester a few times in between picks, so yeah, Hester would be my choice here. Note that Asante Samuel will probably be with him most of the game, though.

I'd take Moreno over Betts. Dallas is really tough on RB's, and they're actually getting better each week. SD just isn't a very good run defense right now. Good luck!
