I’m in a free ESPN standard 10 team league.

I need some feedback on my Flex position. I am more than happy to help in return.

This week I’m having trouble FLEXing. My options are as follows:

RB Jerious Norwood - ATL at home vs. PHI (Norwood should get majority of RB touches for ATL)
WR Robert Meacham - NO @ WAS (5 TDs last 4 games but no Saint WR gets a high number of targets)
WR Jeremy Maclin - Phi (could be temp #1 for PHI especially with DeSean Jackson out w/concussion)
WR Roy Williams – Dal @ NYG (Giants are desperate – Williams has been so-so at best)

This is not an easy call and would welcome some feedback. Unless one of you can type some sense into me I’ve ranked my options in the following order:

Norwood – RBs get more touches than WRs and Norwood has also been a good receiver out of the backfield.
Maclin – PHI likes to throw and with Jackson out he should see quite a bit of action.
Meacham – Lately he has been a hot target in the red zone but the way NO spreads the ball around there is no assurance that will continue. Also, WAS has the top rated pass defense.
Roy Willams – Not so much.

Also, if you feel so led, please pray that Kurt Warner is 100% and plays tomorrow night. If Warner sits then Fitzgerald is no good to me.

Thanks for the feedback. Be sure to include a link to your post and I will share my thoughts on your situation.

I like Norwood here by a hair over Maclin because of the guaranteed touch factor. Bottom line, I think both guys will end up with 15 or so points, but Maclin has a lower downside AND a lower upside. Good options to have, but I think you have to go with the RB here. The Falcons have shown pretty clearly that they're not going to give Snelling too many touches with a healthy Norwood in the lineup, so you can expect a pretty heavy workload out of him.

With Jackson out I really like Maclin this week. Phi throws all day and McNabb already likes Maclin. He should see even more targets this week.
