So.. I'm having some difficulty deciding who to use as my flex.. All reports indicate that Collie will be back on the field Sunday Starting WR's Fitzgerald Maclin RB's Bradshaw Hillis Current flex: Collie Other WR options: Steve Johnson (Buffalo), Harvin RB Option: Brandon Jackson, Legarrete Blount (Tampa) I'm torn between Harvin, Johnson and Collie.. Going with Collie.. Anyone have a compelling reason for me to go with Harvin or Johnson over Collie? I know he is returning from a thumb injury but he fully participated in practice..What about Maclin as my 2nd WR?
Go with Blount in the flex. Dude looked amazing last week. He is the Bucs now and future, and they are going to ride him.
Chris Ivory was Blount a few weeks ago. My question for the flex spot is, Ivory against Carolina (weak vs. the run) or Johnny Knox against Buffalo? I'm leaning toward Knox since it seems like Ivory is now in a RB by committee situation
You usually want to try to put a RB in the flex position if you can because they usually get more touches than WRs do. Anyway, I'd actually go with Brandon Jackson for the flex position. Blount did have a good game last week but I don't expect him to repeat and have a better game than Jackson. Keep Maclin in at WR.
Definitely start Knox man. He's become Cutler's #1 WR. He's put up good decent numbers the last couple games and I expect that to continue this week.
