PPR WR/RB/Flex help! Too many options WHIR!

Postby bb88 » Sat Sep 11, 2010 11:07 pm

I need to pick 2 WR, 1 RB (already played Peterson) and 1 flex out of:

WR: Marshall @ Buf, Steve Smith NYG @ Car, Steve Smith CAR @ NYG
RB: Foster @ IND, Forte @ DET, Hightower @ STL

Right now the line-up I have penciled in is

WR1: Marshall
WR2: Smith NYG
Flex: Smith CAR
RB2: Foster

My opponent has a line-up that isn't exactly great, so I don't think I need to gamble too much. Since it's a PPR league I think Smith NYG and Marshall are pretty locked in... so it's a matter of which RB is best and then Smith CAR vs the rest.

Going back and forth pretty bad here, will DEFINITELY help in return.

Agreed. Marshall and Smith are locks.

I would play Foster for your RB2. Indy isn't know for their run D and Foster is the main man in Houston, goalline carries and all.

PPR or non PPR, I would start Forte at flex. HE should get the rock a bunch and that game has shoot out implications. He should also see a bunch of passes from Cutler (hence my PPR reference).

I just don't trust Smith CAR after coming off a broken arm with a new QB.

Foster and Forte.

Good luck!

I like Hightower and forte for your RB and Flex... Det front line sucks and Hightower looks to be the primary RB against stl this weekend. Prob feature back for the game. I would also use Car Steve Smith. Good luck

Marshall is a lock for me, MIA might be a run first team, but Marshall is a big physical reciever and BUF has a small secondary, great for redzone looks. I like Steve Smith South, Carolina will run, but he's a legit #1 and who knows how many targets the northern version will get with the slew of recievers the NYG have.

RB, I'd go with Foster, Houston found out that they can't just sling the ball all over and win, Foster gives them a legit run game, and I'd look for Houston to be much more balanced this year.

Flex I'd go with Hightower, with Beanie Wells out, Hightower becomes the lead back and he's playing STL who gave up the most rushing yardage to opposing backs last year. Forte would be a nice 2nd option, but I don't really see the bears running as much as they used to with Martz there, he may still be viable due to his pass catching abilities though.

I like Marshall, and Smith (Car). Start Foster at running back and Forte at flex. Forte will get some passes in this one (PPR).

Please help

Thanks for the help with mine. I would say for receivers Marshall and Smith(CAR). At running back I would say Foster. For your flex go with Hightower if Wells is out if not go with Forte.

At your WR spots I would definitely go with B. Marshall and S. Smith (Car).

At your RB2 I would definitely play A. Foster.

However, at your flex position, I would play M. Forte. He has an extremely favorable match up against a porous Detroit defense. I believe he has the highest potential for touches, along with production, among your remaining options.

RB Forte
WR Marshall
WR Smith CAR
FLEX Hightower

I like Foster better than both of those RBs overall, but this week with the matchups in PPR scoring, Forte and Hightower are your plays.
