Hi all,
I'm in a 10 team head-to-head points league with 2 RB and a Flex slot. My 2 WR slots are set with AJ Green and Jordy Nelson, who I consider to be must-starts.
As for the RB and flex spots, I'm in a quandary. My choices are: Devonta Freeman, DeMarco Murray, DeAngelo Williams, and Carlos Hyde. I also have Travis Benjamin on my bench, and he should get quite a boost this week after Keenan Allen's injury. Given Freeman's questionable RB1 or RB2 status going into the week, and questions about whether Hyde can maintain his production into Week 2, the only one of the group that I feel is a must-start is DeAngelo Williams since he's got the most to lose and the hottest game right now. DeMarco Murray makes a great case as well.
But I hate the idea of benching Freeman. Benjamin is a total gamble to put up top numbers, even though he's got a good chance to become the top receiving option, so I'm not as uncomfortable leaving him benched at least until he proves himself.
So can anyone talk some sense into me? Am I crazy to bench Freeman and/or Hyde going into Week 2? Does Murray deserve a starting slot? Who would be your top 3 choices for 2xRB/Flex?
Thank you for any advice!
