Chris Givens as a Flex?

Recommended Posts

I know it sounds dumb, but I'm wondering if he may be worth a shot. Not for a crappy team so much as a decent team who can afford this risk.

 

Forsett is going to be facing an 8/9 men in the box type situation as Baltimore seriously has nobody healthy to throw the ball to. Givens does one thing as good as anyone, and that is run straight downfield and catch the ball. Flacco has a cannon arm. Givens can outrun Haden, quite easily in fact, if Haden is even covering him.

 

While I don't expect Givens to play a lot of snaps, someone has to catch the ball this week for Baltimore. What do you do when people stack the box? You throw downfield.

 

On my teams with a solid chance of winning anyway, I'm going to throw him in as my Flex, provided he plays. I may even do so on my iffy teams. Nobody in Cleveland can keep up with Givens speed. He had to slow down to catch the balls from Bradford. He won't have to do that with Flacco.

 

Just something to think about.
