I'm 9-5 and have the 1-seed in my money league. I'm 2nd in scoring (our scoring champion missed the playoffs with an 8-6 record). I'm pretty set with my starting lineup with the exception of RB. Is Alvin Kamara going to get the green light? I picked up Alex Collins as insurance. It's PPR for WR-TE only. That's why I like to have a WR-TE in my flex spot. I had a RB as my flex last year and it cost me a championship. I would've capped off a 13-3 season. Dammit.

QB Drew Brees
RB Mark Ingram
RB Alvin Kamara or Alex Collins
WR-TE AJ Green
WR-TE Michael Thomas
WR-TE Rob Gronkowski
F Evan Engram or Delanie Walker (possibly Collins)
K Greg Zuerlein

This time of year is so much fun....if you win. :hope:

Kamara is expected to play, whatever that means on the Tuesday before the game. I think I put Collins in the flex. I know you get PPR for WRs and TEs, but the potential for Collins outweighs what you could get from either TE, imo. Baltimore is playing Cleveland and could be in "kill the clock" mode for most of the 2nd half. Or it could be a close game, so what do I know?

give me collins over Engram and Walker in the flex spot as well.
TDs outweight PPR pts

say what you want about Geno Smith, at least he knows how to feed Engram, Eli doesn't. So if Kamara sits, give me Walker over Engram for flex.

I'm guessing smaller league size if you recently were able to add Collins.
So if you like WR/TE for flex, add Marquise Goodwin - Jimmy G/Shanahan offense are keeping him fed right now, titans secondary isn't scary

What the hell happened to Alex Collins? Damn. I told myself that's it when it comes to putting an RB in my flex spot. It could have burned me for the 2nd straight year in the playoffs. Collins was stuck on 12 carries forever and I wondered if he got hurt. 12 carries for 19 yards and 5 catches for 33 yards netted me 3 points. Engram (9) and Walker (11) were more productive. I think that's the first time all season I used an RB in my flex. I won by 49 and I'm headed to the Championship so it didn't kill me. I could bench Mark Ingram or Alvin Kamara next week and use Collins against the Colts.:nono:

Alex Collins didn't play the 4th qtr since Ravens were up 27-10

I also thought he was injured, but can't find any blurbs about any injury today, so I think it was just an opportunity to save some wear and tear on Collins.

which is good, since it leads me to believe that the Ravens will give this kid a shot to be the lead RB against next year over Dixon.

Sucks for us fantasy guys, since those 4th qtr clock-killing drives was kinda what I was planning on from Collins yesterday

and I would still go with RB in your flex spot next week, Ingram/Kamara/Collins all going seems more intimidating than any lineup with Engram/Walker in the flex.

but def choose your own adventure, that's what makes this game fun

wasnt injured just not going nowhere:suds:

Alex Collins rushed 12 times for 19 yards with five receptions for 33 yards on eight targets in Sunday's Week 15 win over the Browns.

Entering the day third in the league in yards per carry (5.1) among running backs, Collins found no room to operate on Sunday as his longest run on the day was just six yards. Collins had a shot to reach the end zone on the day, but was stoned on back to back goal line carries in the second quarter. Collins will look to have a much better game next week against a hapless Colts defense at home in Week 16.
