PPR Flex: Torain or Owens?

[Vec]

PPR league

Flex spot:

Torain vs Chi (3rd against run)
or
Owens vs ATL (25th against pass)

Thoughts?

tough call. i always play a rb in my flex spot over a wr, even in ppr leagues. i think torain could get more receptions this week b/c of the bears' defense. i'd give him the edge. however, if you roll with t.o. i think you'll be fine too. ochocinco wants to make a splash, so it might be him that has the bigger game.

Eventhough your league is a PPR format, I like Ryan "All-Terrain" Torain (as we have glossed him here in the Nation's Capitol), he managed 100YDs vs Indy last week -- which granted, is no great feat -- BUT -- 85 of those yards came AFTER CONTACT! Torain is running with both purpose and passion, giving his ALL to the coach that originally hand-picked him while in Denver a few years back. The Bears' run D appears fairly stout on the surface, but the Skins are run-blocking better than they have all year now, and Torain is improving with each carry to my eyes. I simply do NOT expect another dd catch performance from TO the rest of the way frankly, and certainly not on the road vs a tough, well-coached, PHYSICAL team D like Atlanta's come sunday. I expect yet another disappearing act from Owens actually, where he will be doubled and then eventually (and predictably) succumb to frustration and of course side-line pouting (LoL), giving way to Ocho to be the main performer thru the air for Cinci.

The SKins will give Chicago ALL they want on both sides of the football imo, and while I expect a lower-scoring affair than the oddsmakers do, I can see Torain getting a minimum 20 touches, a TD, and perhaps even a few receptions to help keep Chicago's blitz "honest"... GL

Go Torain. I think he has a decent game this week. Nothing like last weeks performance, but I'd expect him to get 15-20 rushes and around 5 receptions. He is a big part of their offense with Portis out. You can't go wrong with T.O. either, but I think Torain is the better pick in this one.

You roll a RB over a WR in most cases in the flex.....even a slow RB over a reality star

good luck

Thanks everyone for the responses! I am surprised at the overwhelming support for Torain as I expected a little more of a split between the choices. I will roll with my ATV (All Torain Vehicle) this weekend and see if he can produce against Chicago's run D.

Thanks!
