Who to start at W/R flex?

Question

Devery Henderson v. SF
DeAngelo Williams at PHI
Fred Taylor @ Miami
Julius Jones @ NYG

Answer 1

Henderson. It looks like Colston will be out again this week and there is a possibility thet Horn could be out also since he tweaked his groin again so that basically leaves Henderson and Copper as the wideouts for Brees who is going for a 6th or 7th straight 300+ yard game. Don't forget it is the SF defense which hasn't been to consistant this year. I'm usually a RB flex guy but this almost looks to good to be true. Try to remember back a few years ago when Drew Bennett teamed up with Volek because of injuries and how he carried a lot of fantasy teams too the playoffs. Henderson could be the same situation.

Answer 2

You have some very good options here. Denagelo Williams and Julius Jones both look like strong plays this week. The Eagles are a terrible football team that looks like it has given up. Their run defense is just god awful. I think Williams is going to maul them badly. The problem here is that Deshaun Foster is still the starter....and he will see at least as many carries as Williams in this game.

Julius Jones is also in a time share (isn;t every RB this season?), but it's a time share where he gets more looks. The Giant run defense isn't the greatest, but it's better then the eagles right now.

For me the difference is actually the Eagles Offense. It's terrible right now. As are the Eagle special teams. You can almost bank on the panthers getting GREAT field position all game. This to me means more red zone chancers for the Panthers....and thus more oppurtunity for Williams. It's hard to start a situational player like Williams over a primary back like Jones....but this week I would.

You will do well with either of these two options....but I think i'd start Williams here.

Taylor and Henderson aren't really worth mentioning in this argument.

Answer 3

Honestly, you're going to have to wait until close to game time to see if Colston is starting. If he doesn't start, play Henderson. You do have to take into consideration that Horn WILL play Sunday. Yes, he does have a tweaked groin...but he's also had this injury for 5 weeks and has been playing and producing. If Colston ends up playing, don't start him. They're gonna roll over San Fran and start handing it off. I would go with "fragile Fred" if Colston plays. They're not going to allow Garrard to throw that much and Miami's defense isn't what it's cracked up to be...especially. rushing D.
