In the flex spot I'm having a tough time deciding...

Wes Welker @ San Diego

Marshawn Lynch vs. Arizona

I'm starting Deangelo and Matt Forte at the RBs and Larry Fitz and Steve Smith (NYG) in the WRs

Felix Jones and J-Stew are the only relavent bench players and Stew is close to being dropped

Leaning towards Lynch since I'm starting Hernandez at TE and Deion Branch being back in NE.

Normally I'd like to start a RB @ flex because they get more touches than a WR. But Welker is so much better than Lynch who is still learning the system in Sea. Wouldn't worry about Branch being back, Welker did pretty well when Moss was with the team. I don't see Branch making Welker any less valuable.

I'll play Devils advocate, if it's a non PPR league I would start Lynch and here's why.... Pete Carroll has already said that Lynch is his guy and he wants to give him the chance to show what he can do. In his first game with the 'Hawks Lynch had seven more carries then Forsett. I would expect him to have around 10 more then him today. Unless you're banking on one of Welkers 8 yard over the middle catches going for a TD I think a RB who should get 20-25 touches is a much better threat to make it to the endzone then a WR who makes a lot of 8-10 yard catches over the middle of the field in traffic.....

Welker is not as effective without Moss being such a deep threat, see if you can trick someone into trading for him.

Tried. Welker ain't moving.

I tried to trade McNabb to the guy in my league starting Romo, but besides Andre Johnson he didn't have anything I wanted. I even threw in Felix Jones who is sure to start racking up the numbers with Romo out.

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Yeah this needs to happen ASAP. I don’t care if the price is lower. These Vikings fans on Twitter are absolutely insufferable. Acting like they have been world beaters for the last 60 years and thinking Carolina should just hand him over for nothing. We’ve had 7 or so tough seasons in a row and we have still been to two superbowls since they have and won more playoff games since 1995.    I hope Dan sends him to Detroit for a 2040 7th rounder and eats half the contract. Even Sheena is replying to them.

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By frankw · Posted

      So did the Panthers initiate this by making him "available for the right price" or was this something Thielen himself pushed for? I also never saw this quote he made about JJ McCarthy back in June. https://sports.yahoo.com/article/panthers-adam-thielen-both-asked-182711572.html Thielen believes McCarthy is built for big moments and will eventually show the world the skillset that won the Michigan Wolverines a national championship in 2023/2024. He even said McCarthy could be the “face of the league.” “I have high expectations for him. I've been able to be around a little bit through some of the time last summer... back in Minnesota, and I think he has the ability to be one of the great quarterbacks this season and the face of this league at some point. You know, I think he's got every tool and intangible that you can have,” Thielen said. “Obviously, it's a difficult league and it's not gonna just be easy, but I think he has the ability to handle adversity to be able to be big in big moments, as you saw when he was in college. I think he's got a great support staff around him, whether it be the coaches or the trainers.” Sounds like he's had one foot out the door for some time now.
