Akers, start or sit?

Two rbs and a flex. PPR. 

RBs  chubb (obv start), Akers, Pierce, Dillon, Pollard, walker III

Another possible flex option is Drake London. Or Julio Jones. 

Who would you play?

My gut really wants to play Piece aside he's probably starting in Houston. But Lovie is being all cryptic.

I would go with Akers out of that group.

Akers at RB or at Flex with Piece at RB?

Dillon and Pierce.

That's kind of how I've been leaning. I'm just having serious FOMO and second thoughts.

I think pierce is going to have a rough week 1. Houston got crushed by Indy last year and Indy is better this year.

Even if pierce is the starter I am not sure how much work he will see playing from behind.

That's actually a very good point. I hadn't considered that.

I suppose the one fear is if he goes all Arian Foster in his debut. But that can't be counted on.

Akers got 3 rushes for zero yards. Great.

Oh my soul, Dillon and Pierce was the right pick, did you go with Akers?

I did. Last second flip. I should have trusted my gut.

I feel ya. In my dynasty, I pulled Akers last minute to put in Davis.
 

In my PPR redraft league, I left Akers in and Davis was on the bench.

[weepaws 2,062]

In one of my leagues, the person I’m playing against, started Akers, Robinson in flex, and Stafford. 

Ouch. But that crap happens all the time, I’ll have them this season also, I’ll just enjoy them more when it’s the person I’m playing against.

Pierce sucked too, i felt bad the last 3 days for recommending akers, i thought he was in a 50/50 timeshare.

Is Akers worth a stash on the bench if he's been dropped? Ppr or .5 ppr?

[weepaws 2,062]

Yes he is.
