Matt in KC Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 I need help picking a WR and a RB/WR flex player for the week. I'm playing a very strong opponent (3rd place) starting Brees, Westbrook, Chris Johnson, Antonio Gates etc.. My league gives bonuses for 100 yard games and long TDs. My choices: Hines Ward (IND) - I usually start him as my final receiver; strongly considering benching him DeShawn Jackson (NYG) Kevin Faulk Devery Henderson (@ATL) Muhsin Muhammad (@OAK) also Avery is available in FA. I've already started B Marshall, and plan to start M Lynch, but think Faulk will do as well, though of course pray he won't. Romo is obviously benched; I'm starting Gerrard. I'm not sure if I'm depressed from the Bills losing, or what, but I don't see a big difference between my choices. I'm leaning toward Kevin Faulk and Jackson. With Big Ben's health, I feel like Ward is looking at a weak week. Thanks in advance for any feedback! Quote
BuffOrange Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 I have no idea so I'll just complicate things further and say Muhammad could be a good sleeper with Asomugah covering Steve Smith. Faulk & any WR (except Henderson with Coltson now 100&) sounds ok. Quote

Faulk & any WR (except Henderson with Coltson now 100&) sounds ok. I think Muhammed is the safest bet, but the least likely to hit the homerun I may need. Henderson is indeed my last choice (almost even with Avery), but he really has been pretty consistently productive, including the last couple weeks (3-34, 1 TD last week; 3-80 the week before). DeShawn is likely to get a big catch or two, though I'm a bit worried his receptions have dropped off. Bumping him back up though is that he returns punts and I get 6 points if he takes one all the way (did so in week 5). Also, I think Phili will struggle against the Giants, which may make them pass-happy in the second half. ...of course, does this make him better than Ward, who will almost certainly be targeted more (but can Leftwich get him the ball if he plays)? Thanks for posting! Quote
BuffOrange Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Asomugha: 2 passes thrown at him, 1 interception, 1 incomplete pass. Jesus he is the best CB in the game. Quote
