Fix My Flex Taking fantasy flight with Nelson Agholor
Fix My Flex: Taking fantasy flight with Nelson Agholor Published: Sep 20, 2018 at 09:02 AM Fantasy Analyst You've figured out most of your starting lineup. Quarterback? Check. Running backs? Check. Receivers, tight ends, kicker and defense? Check, check, check and check. But there's still that pesky flex spot. Do you go with that mid-round running back you drafted for this exact purpose? What about that wide receiver that has a favorable matchup this week? Then there are you masochists who play in superflex leagues. Godspeed to all of you. If you're looking for help, you've come to the right place. Every week in this space I'll do my best to help you #FixMyFlex. Well, actually I'll try to fix YOUR flex. But that's not how the hashtag goes. I gue s it just wasn't quite as catchy. Anyway, you've got problems, I've got answers. Here we go. Nelson Agholor, Will Fuller V or Robert Woods Trevor (@Trev_Arno) This comes down to Agholor and Fuller for me. Rob Ramage Jersey If you're in a PPR league, I would lean toward Agholor, who is part of a two-headed monster in the pa sing game. The yardage totals might not overwhelm you, but #Swagholor and are dominating the target share. Plus, they get back this week. If your league is standard scoring, I like Fuller as a ceiling play. He's the deep threat in an already-vertical pa sing game and has scored at least one touchdown in every game he's played with . Woods is a hard start simply because the spread the ball around so much in the pa sing game.. who would you start at flex between Demaryius Thomas, Calvin Ridley or Chris Godwin? Ira Beavers III (@beavers_3) has been a disappointment thus far, failing to turn his targets into any significant production. A matchup against the isn't a reason for optimism. Ridley's Week 2 break out was nice but I want to see some consistency from the rookie before I trust him in my lineup. As for Godwin, 's magic has boosted all of the pa s-catchers in the offense. This week's game against Pittsburgh could be a high-scoring one. I'd give the Buc a try. Hey fellas need your help, Peyton Barber or Sterling Shepard PLEASE Omar Dunnings (@MrChaos232) Yikes! This isn't a fun choice at all. For as great as Tampa's pa sing game has been, the Bucs haven't found any succe s on the ground. Then again, the haven't gotten Rene Bourque Jersey much going through the air this season. It's really a battle of the least bad option. In this case, I'd give it to Barber. He's likely to see more touches than Shepard and while we've focused on how bad the pa s defense has been after two weeks, it's obscured the fact that their run defense is ranked 30th and allowing 152 yards per game. There's hope for Barber this week. Marshawn Lynch or Shady McCoy? WILYUM (@wdjkns1) This is a matchup of two players I wanted very little part of this season. But the answer here is clear ... it's Beast Mode all the way. The haven't mustered any semblance of a running game this year. Plus, McCoy is injured (ribs) and facing the ferocious defense. Miami has been tough on running backs through the first two weeks but I feel better going with a running back in a slightly better offense without a nagging injury. John brown or James White? Robert de los Reyes (@areohbezee) Two guys with colors for last names. Fun! After last week's breakout on Thursday night, I'm leaning toward Brown. Not only did Smokey remind us why so many were big on him a couple of seasons ago but we also saw the struggle to corral the previously-dormant last week. Look for the to challenge Denver down the field this week, especially if the offensive line can keep away from . has been a nice PPR option in a pinch but it's worrisome for his fantasy production that is getting healthier and Patrick Roy Jersey looking to get back to action. PPR - Stills, Garcon or Golladay? Jim Heckel (@JHeckel) It's Stills here for me. Obviously last week wasn't great but the secondary is a much more forgiving unit. With 94 percent of the snaps played, he's by far the top receiver in Miami's offense. Garcon has the potential for a nice day in what could be a high-scoring game against Kansas City, but it's also dependent on whether plays. We've seen that the pa sing game can support multiple receivers but I wouldn't trust Golladay against the this week. Marvin Jones,Dion Lewis or keelan Cole Don Baird (@dgb63) I know I faded Golladay in the previous scenario but in this instance I'd play Jones. This is le s about any real confidence in the and more about my fears about the other players. The are still dealing with injuries at the tackle position and could rely on more as a pa s protector than a pa s-catcher. If he's not catching the ball for Tenne see, his value is severely decreased. The concern for is that could be back. When Fournette's on the field, Jacksonville's offense changes dramatically. In four games without Fournette, averages 113 more pa sing yards per game with one more touchdown per game and far fewer interceptions. Fournette's return significantly shrinks the number of targets available and makes Cole a tougher start. Jamison Crowder, Chris Godwin, or Je se James BaknBits (@bakn_bits) I mentioned earlier that has made all of Tampa' Francois Beauchemin Jersey s receivers into legitimate fantasy threats this season. So he's the guy I would start here. However, it's worth noting that if you're streaming tight ends, James isn't a terrible option. The have allowed 210 receiving yards to tight ends -- second-most in the league so far. James has been 's tight end of choice this season, so James should at least get consideration if he's on your waiver wire. Alex Collins or Adrian Peterson? Ottinator (@the_ottinator) This is an unappealing choice. Collins looks like he's in a timeshare with , the extent of which I hadn't anticipated before the season. Add to it that the face a Denver defense that currently ranks seventh against the run and it's a gonna be a no for me, dawg. I'm not super excited about Peterson this week simply because you're going to be held captive by game script and hoping A.D. can get enough touches to post a big number. But I feel better about that against the than I do with Collins against the . C. Carson or D. Funche s... the struggle is real Elliot Wilkinson (@oxWILKOxo) You ain't lying, Elliott. Whew. I'll help you out, though. I'm done with the running game. Not only is it unproductive behind a putrid offensive line but not even Pete Carroll seems to have Calvin Pickard Jersey an idea of how to distribute touches. was winded from playing special teams? Bruh ... wut? has offered nothing but somehow is still getting touches. Mi s me with all of that. Funche s isn't blowing anyone away with his numbers but the upside is that in his career without on the field, he's seen a significant uptick in targets, receptions and yards. The have been strong through the air this year but hopefully Funche s can make up for it with volume.
