Settings: 2 RBs and a WRT - 1 PPR, and .5 pts per carry. So you absolutely put a RB in the flex.
Charles vs. DEN is set, so need 2 more:
1) Rashad Jennings @ JAX (giving up 9th most pts to RBs) 2) Alfred Morris @ IND (giving up 7th most pts to RBs) 3) Denard Robinson vs. NYG (giving up 3rd most pts to RBs)
Also have Chris Ivory, not good lately, and vs. MIA, no thanks. So...as you can see, I have 3 great options, not a bad problem to have. But the dilemma was such that I sought the projs of 5 sources, and they're sort of all over the place WRT these 3, but not far apart, a couple pts here or there.
Win and I finish 3rd probably. Lose and I should still squeak in 6th, maybe stay 5th if lucky. I have 3rd most pts in the league, which will trump anyone whose record I tie. I'm 5th now, and playing 3rd seed, who I'd tie in record with a win but beat him on pts - a tight matchup.

I'd be tempted to go with Jennings and Robinson. Morris is playing against Indy and there is a good chance that they get blown out. He doesn't catch much out of the backfield, so he could be phased out of the game fairly early on if the Colts run away with it.

He doesn't catch much out of the backfield, so he could be phased out of the game fairly early on if the Colts run away with it. Thanks, excellent feedback! That must've been exactly what was going on in the minds of those listing him beneath BOTH Robinson and Jennings. On the other hand, if IND is blowing out all these other teams, why are they giving up 7th most pts to RBs. Lemme answer my own question...opponent's RBs are mostly scoring in the 1st half, when it's still anybody's game? But excellent point about him not catching outta the backfield. Jennings and Robinson are both excellent there. Ya know...at Yahoo, Robinson can be used as both a RB AND WR, yup - good for PPR, carries, and just staying in the game whatever direction it takes. Strikes me immediately as correct and something I missed. I'm also looking at that game as one that JAX could win, or at least a fight to the finish. One source was actually listing Robinson as #4 in PPRs this week, which shook me up a little. But gotta tell you, I'm glad I picked him up in half my leagues off the WW while most other people with better WW priority were dicking around with Bryce Brown, Anthony Dixon, and that McKinnon (?) kid in MIN.

Man, I was hoping no one would say that. Would you please briefly explain why Jennings would be the odd man out? Thanks!!! I mean it's close, right? Or...??

Since you're in that league, in 2nd place, and obviously see me as your biggest threat? Yeah, Andre Williams. You could also say 'Toby Gerhardt' and/or 'Roy Helu' (and the IND offense), but NOOOOO. Thanks for little.

YES!!!! YES, I DID!!! Guess my mistrust of the Jeppster was well-grounded. Seriously, thanks a mint for your reply. without it, I might have lent more mind/credence to benching Jennings. But as soon as I read yours, it made perfect sense. The tossup was then Morris or Robinson, and I benched Morris. So far the smart choice, although he & Robinson are 12 - 14 pts now. Jennings...37.40. Still a projected squeaker, fantasy.nfl.com/league/345419/team/4/gamecenter SOB started Tre Mason (who would DO that, right?) who has 50+ pts.

Seems like Robsinson and Morris were both about the same. Morris was a bit better... But I'm glad Jennings worked for you!
