ozzy060 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I am in a 2 week championship game and I am down 16 points going into week 17. I need to start 1 flex player and 1 WR out of this group: - Hixon (this would be my first choice if I knew he was going to play the game. The huddle seems to think he will sit, but I have not seen anything outside of the huddle that thinks that will be the case) - Braylon Edwards (yikes) - Bernard Berrian - NYG (bad matchup for a streaky player) - Dennis Northcutt - BAL (coming off back to back 100 yard games but playing against Baltimore) - LaMant Jordan - will probably play him if its a snowy game in Buffalo, otherwise he is probably not worth it - Josh Morgan - WAS - The huddle had him in their free agent forecast but then doesn't even mention him in their start/bench list? - Lee Higgins - coming off consecutive TD weeks, but do I want to start an Oakland receiver? Thanks so much for the help! John O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Just wild guesses here since week 17 is such an unknown - but - I think I'd have to try Berrian & Lamont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfin2000 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 (edited) I would put Jordan in the flex as well. Based on the last couple of weeks, there seems to be a pretty good chance that he'll score. As for the WR spot, I tend to agree with ts there as well. It's kind of tough to bench Berrian for a group of guys that haven't really proven themselves (outside of Edwards who's on his fourth QB against one of the best defenses in football). Higgins is kind of tempting. He's a guy I would definitely look at if I needed to pick up someone on waivers in a deep league, but I still don't think you start him over Berrian, especially since this is a must win game for the Vikes and meaningless for the Giants.

Thanks so much for the help! John O. Is Berrian playing for sure? Because he is unsure as of this writing I will rule him out. Jordan for sure, he can run and catch it so that is that. Also a good team, good coach and he is playing well. So that leaves a wr. Morgan maybe but I am ignorant of his playing status, i.e. how much he plays and how he has been doing. Isnt Bryant catching everything there? So by process of elimination I say Edwards. He is always a potential big game player. Your right about Higgins- sucky team cant trust it. Morgan- to tough a d. IF Berrian is playing than start him without question otherwise go with Jordan and Edwards. IMO Can you help me? Cassel, Romo or Thigpen? At the moment I am going with Cassel.
