Hey gang (especially MBBRL)

its a standard league 2Rb 2Wr 1 Flex Rb/Wr/TE no PPR


ok Stafford supposedly a go but ill ride Flacco

Qb-Flacco

Rb-Bell
Rb-Rawls (ouch) that one hurt

ok here comes the fun

Wr Julio (out)

Watkins vs Cleveland but still gimpy

Hopkins -Questionable injury wise and Qb wise and last game at Jax had 4 pts

Tate - at the Giants with Stafford sore finger in a glove

Inman - (i just grabbed off of the wire kicked Marshall's sorry butt to the curb)

so i start 2 of the above and the 3rd may flex


my flex is one of the above or

R Kelley vs Panthers

Gillislee vs Cleveland (i just dropped Booker as Gill was on the wire

so im thinking

Wr-Watkins

Wr-Hopkins or Inman i'm leaning Inman (man i miss Julio)


so let me gather opinions by finally asking the question
-----------------

how do you order my Flex if i go Watkins Inman at Wr

Hopkins-Tate-Kelly-Gillislee

or how do you rate em if i go Watkins Hopkins at Wr

Inman-Tate-Kelley-Gillislee


by the way Houston is my D

and Reed or Brate at Te

Thanks gamg

I find it hard to give advice when I can't decide for myself this week.

Almost positive I'm starting Hopkins in KOTF... don't love it.

Watkins is a must.
Not sure I like that rainy Lions/Giants game.

Inman at flex.


Not sure if leaving Kelley out is the right move.

I personally think with the weather projected (I'd check again tomorrow) to be what it is in BUF (wet, gusty, cold), BAL (very wet/windy) and NY (very wet/some wind), the safest(?) bet's would be getting Inman and Kelley in there. Flacco and Stafford will both be in crappy weather so, although not high on either this week, you have to go with the guys that has 10 working fingers.

Sooo, in my humble, unpopular opinion take Watkins out for Inman and go Kelley in the flex. Remember this advise comes from a 5-8 MBBRL team manager who guessed wrong more than right - so you have to factor that in.

Bar, my delivery brother, and hockey comrade, I have nothing to offer.
This has been such a weird season. Matchups and projections have been brutal/false/abnormal.
In lieu of that I almost want to suggest doing an Opposite George.
Take the guys you expect the least from and roll with them.

Or follow Monkey's advice.

Thanks boys

as of now im playing Watkins unless he sits and right now looks like a go

The Texan fan will bench Hopkins for Inman (might as well trust my gut which had me grab him off of the wire)

and flex im ranking Kelly ahead of Hopkins and Gilly

but something tells me Gilly scores 2 tds in the 2nd half against Cleveland while Shady owners scream at their tvs

i guess ill wrestle with flex right up until kick off

and i surely need reports out of DC as to Reeds odds of playing Monday
I have until Sunday night kickoff to find out as I have Brate on the bench @tlance

Sometimes the gut is the answer - I picked up R. Anderson for my flex this week, then got side-track and left him on the bench. .... :L

Love it when they say that it's warmer in your fridge's freezer than it is outside.
But that doesn't stop us from living life!
Like my sisters that live in warmer climates and tell me how nice it is outside (as they sit inside with the AC on). :crazy:

Sorry Bar.

Don't know how I missed this.

I have not heard much about Reed. No news has to be good news in this case. He is going to be active, but the question is how he will be used. My guess is that he will have many more opportunities on Monday.

well i could have played Brate but i hung in with Reed here is hoping thin Skins put up 35+

Watkins/Inman killed me i got squat out of them

i need 33 tonight From Reed Kelley Hopkins
so im hoping all Tds go through Kelley and Reed and when they kick Hopkins doesn't miss

is asking for 12 from Reed
13 from Kelley
and 8 from Hopkins asking too much
