My team is: QB: Matt Ryan RB: Lesean Mccoy RB: Matt Forte WR: Antonio Brown WR: Deandre Hopkins TE: Zach Ertz Flex: ?? DEF: Bills Bench players: Pierre Thomas Lamar Miller Kendall Wright Cecil Shorts Wes Welker Deangelo Williams I have no idea who to play at flex. I'm mostly considering Lamar Miller and Pierre Thomas this week. - Pierre Thomas plays the Vikings this week, and his fantasy stock has recently been boosted by Ingram's injury. - Lamar Miller plays the Chiefs this week, and his fantasy stock has recently been boosted by Knowshon Moreno's injury. They both could be in for a big game, but I'm not sure who to choose. I'm leaning towards Pierre at the moment, because the Saints are playing at home this week, and I'm 99% sure everyone on the Saints roster gets superhuman abilities when they play at home. But Khiry Robinson could potentially see the majority of the snaps in Ingram's steed, lowering Thomas' numbers. Which is why I have the dilemma. Jindred how good is Lamar Miller? Do you expect him to play well as the feature back while Moreno is out?

PPR or no?

Tough call. With Ingram out, Thomas gets a boost but not *too* much. The Saints are going to go up big early on the Vikes and when they do, going to be a lot of running in the second half, I suspect mostly with Khiry Robinson.
Miller could have a really good week though and is a decent bet to score a TD as the lead back while Moreno is out...
Keep an eye on the Jags' WR situation because Shorts could have a really good week if he's active and Lee and Hurns are both out...
tough call indeed.
I'd roll with Miller as the lead dog, especially since it's non-PPR.

I'd probably go with PT. I've never trusted Lamar Miller, and he's started before with unimpressive results.

I'd probably pick up Donald Brown. haha homer here. And I'd get rid of Buffalo Defense. Chargers will not turn the ball over and will score over thirty. I'd probably play Miller, they did sign their other old guy but he just got here. This is the first week for Miller without Moreno. So I'd say Miller. Unless you can get Brown. Brown will be a work horse. If it was PPR Id say Woodhead. I'm such a shameless homer. But my offense has lead me to several sucesses.

I have very little faith in Miller.. His upside is he is a home run threat. Any time he touches the ball he is a threat to get a TD, but his consistency is in question. A big part of how he will do will be how the Phins line does up front against KC and how well they open holes. They did a good job of that in week one, but not so much in week 2.
KC has given up a lot of rushing yards this year so far averaging 125 YPG against.

I agonized between Brown and Woodhead, and eventually picked Brown because he'll get the lion's share of the red zone work. This is the same league in which I have Jamaal Charles, Doug Martin, and Ben Tate languishing in injury hell. EDIT: Oh, wait, that was in our league...

I just saw you got Brown. I don't like nfl.com auction site. It doesn't show what people bid. Unless I'm missing something.

The only clue is the players' remaining WAB points.
