Need Help with RB2 and Flex... WHIR

[JohnnyBighead]

12 team yahoo league with standard scoring
We start 1qb, 2 rb, 2 wr, 1 te, 1 rb/wr flex, 1 k, 1 def....

Through alot of trading and some good luck I have ended up with a pretty solid team....

My team...
QBs- Aaron Rodgers, Mark Sanchez, Big Ben
RBs- Frank Gore, Ray Rice, Peyton Hillis, Marshawn Lynch
WRs- Reggie Wayne, Roddy White, Calvin Johnson, Louis Murphy
TE- Vernon Davis
K- Neil Rackers
Def- Minnesota, Seattle

I need help in who to start this week....

My Thoughts:
QB: Rodgers
RB1: Frank Gore
RB2: Hillis
WR1: Reggie Wayne
WR2: Roddy White
TE: Davis
Flex: Ray Rice/Calvin Johnson
K:Rackers
Def: Seattle

I dont know if I can trust ray rice this week with his knee and facing the steelers...but i dont know if with those handicaps he is stronger that Megatron without a qb....

What do you guys think?

Yea I think you definitely need to start Hillis this week as your RB2...
So that leaves the tough choice between Megatron & Rice... as you saw from my post I'm not too hot on Calvin this week, but seeing what the Steelers did to CJ2K a couple weeks ago it's tough to start Rice against them. So I say go w/ Calvin, I think he still has a decent shot at a long TD reception.

I think you have it right with what you decided.
Hillis as your RB2 is a for sure.
I would start L.Murphy but he is injured, but with the texans secondary being so weak, he would be a good start if he was 100%.
If it's ppr, go with Megatron, if not stick with R.Rice.

Leave Hillis be! Now, on to your FLEX dilemma...

I'd go this route:
1. Louis Murphy - He's the guy you start. You HAVE to monitor is status because he's fighting through a clavicle injury that is limiting is mobility, but if he gets the green light Sunday, then he is your man.
2. Megatron - Great talent, but tough DEF and even tougher CB look to exploit his terrible QB.
3. Ray Rice - He's busted up and he's no Chris Johnson, who the Steelers tee'd off on.

Good luck!
