QB, RB and Flex help

Postby B3N1ZJAM1N » Tue Sep 28, 2010 11:17 am

I need to pick 2 RB's and a flex for this week....with AP and Charles out on byes, Sjax and best with low projections because of injury speculation....I don't know who I should start. My flex can be RB/WR. Gotta choose between schaub and Vick. I always would say go with schaub but Vick is looking like a beast.

Schaub bs Oakland
Vick vs Was

I have AP(bye)
Sjax vs Seattle
Foster vs Oakland
Best vs Green bay
Charles(bye)
Greene vs buffalo
EDIT**Wells vs SD

WR's not starting
Steve smith(car) vs NO
Malcom Floyd vs Arizona

You have such a ridiculous fleet of RB's. Foster is a must start, and you clearly need to keep an eye on injury reports this week. You'll probably have to make a gametime move on Sunday, starting Greene in the event that SJax and Best are both out. Otherwise I'd go with SJax or Best as your RB2 over Greene. I'm also having to start Greene as a flex this week, and already thinking about an alternative like Naanee instead.
I like Floyd as your flex, over Greene.

On the QB... start Vick. I started Cutler over Vick for week 3 and got burned. He hasn't made any mistakes yet. I believe he will at some point, but he's playing like a fantasy god right now.

The answers to these really depend on a lot of injury news. As mentioned, SJax and Best could both play or both be out. And Andre Johnson injury news could impact Schaub, too -- especially given that as you've rightly pointed out, Vick's hot start almost makes that one a toss up at this point.

Those caveats aside and assuming everyone relevant is playing, I'd go Schaub-Foster-SJax-Best, because I have more confidence in Washington's defense than Oakland's (though not by much, sadly) and because I always think your ceiling is higher with a RB in the flex than a WR assuming you're starting someone who is still getting carries rather than a platoon back.

I'd add, however, that I also really like Floyd as a potential starter this week and so I'm curious who you're starting at WR ahead of him. Floyd is starting for me in Wk. 4 in a 12-team league over Steve Smith-CAR and Hines Ward, so that tells you my opinion of him as well.

If injuries force you to bench one of the above-named four starters I'm recommending, I'd go Floyd in the flex before Greene -- I love Greene's matchup but just don't trust him to see enough carries to produce at the moment. You could do worse than Greene, but I do think he's your last resort starter given your other options.

Good luck!

At QB, I would go with M. Vick. I think he will continue his amazing production, especially against that vulnerable Redskins D/ST.

At RB, I would definitely start A. Foster. For your second option, I would either go with S. Jackson or J. Best, depending on S. Jackson's health. If he's somehow able to start and receive significant carries, I would go with him. Either way, S. Greene receives a significantly lower amount of carries than both.

At Flex, I would go with S. Smith if S. Jackson can't play. If he can, I would go with S. Jackson here and J. Best at RB.

With Vick playing as well as he is and it being a home game I don't see how you can't start him even though Shaub @ oak is tempting.....Vick is just too hot rite now. Ride it as long as you can.

Foster and greene are no brainers here man

Goodluck

Thanks for the help with mine. I think I go with Vick seeing how he has the hot hand. With the RBs go Foster and Greene.
