Need Help With Week 14 RBs WHIR

[gb044]

First round of the playoffs and I am one of the guys who lost Gore, so my team is weak at the RB position. I need advice on who to start at my flex.

My starting lineup

Philip Rivers
Desean Jackson
Miles Austin
Cedric Benson
Thomas Jones
Vernon Davis
(Flex)

My flex options are Tashard Choice, Anthony Dixon, Marshawn Lynch and Danny Amendola
I am leaning toward Choice now that I see his yahoo projection for the week is about 10 points, so I am assuming that Barber will not be starting. Is Choice the right start?

Just to clarify here before people think I'm beating "The People's Choice" drum because I'm a Cowboys fan... I'm not.
I'm looking at the matchups. According to the FFL rankings, the Eagles are ranked 18th at stopping RBs.

TC has proven he can do things when he gets the ball. Dixon... I don't know, he's a mystery still to me, but Seattle is ranked 27th against RBs.

Stay away from Lynch's match-up. It's not favorable at all. Same with Amendola. Love the little guy, miss him on the Cowboys, but this isn't a match-up made for him.


I'd go TC, but that's just me!

RANKS:
Choice
Dixon
Lynch
Amendola

I'd go with Choice too. He's the only guy on your list I trust. Too bad you're sorta forced into starting Benson vs. Pittsburgh. Didn't go well for him the first time around (18 carries, 54 yards). At least he put one in the end zone though!

Expect Pittsburgh to get even stingier as time goes on, as well.

Yeah, so basically this guy is screwed playing Benson. That's what I was saying.

Yea, I know... so it may be in his best interest to plug in one of the swing guys in Benson's spot... just for this week, if he's comfortable enough with it.

I am not crazy about choice, but I agree he is the best you've got... unless chris ivory is on waivers?


Help me out?
