Week 1 Flex Decision

Recommended Posts

My team has tough matchups this week, but I still feel pretty good about my chances against my week 1 opponent.

 

I am going with

Cutler, Charles, Greene, AJ, SSmith, Shiancoe (13.6 pointsthankyouverymuch), Bironas, Dallas.

 

This leaves me with the Flex position. My choices are among McCoy, Nicks, Portis, Burleson, Williams, Brown

 

Conventional wisdom puts them in that order, projected FPs of about 9-8-7-6-5-4 respectively. If it makes it any easier, I have this narrowed down to McCoy or Nicks or Portis...

 

So who would you select?

 

Who is the safest bet for 7+ FPs?

 

Who has the best upside?

 

Thanks... Stieve

I think you have it right with McCoy. I do like Nicks this year, but I want to see what shakes out in NY 1st.

McCoy for sure, unless that's Caddilac Williams in which case go with him. If not, McCoy's yer man.

 

Thanks for the advice on my RB question

Another McCoy vote. What one of the last guys said about Nicks...love him...but wait-and-see for at least one week.

 

For the record, if that is Ricky Williams and/or Ronnie Brown listed in your line-up, I'd plug either one of them in before Portis THIS WEEK. I think both will score points. Portis, a bad draw vs. Dallas...

Williams = MIke Williams (SEA)... definitely a wait and see situation there

Brown = Donald Brown, Addai's backup... waiting for Addai to get hurt on him

 

My roster is in my signature, sorry I didn't mention.

I'd go Nicks, I think GB shuts mccoy down

I differ from everyone in that if McNabb plays, I'd go with Portis. I think McNabb will spread the Dallas D enough to give Portis some room and he may even catch a few out of the backfield. And if worse comes to worse you'll have a reason to watch the Sunday Night Game. Thanks for answering mine.

Yes, I think that a healthy Portis is being underrated this year. Maybe durability is what kept his ADP down this year. But heck, this is week 1... and he is the #1 back for the Skins. Not the best matchup maybe, but he will get the ball.

 

I will probably decide on this late in the morning...

 

Thanks for all the posts, I'll keep checking...
