Week 1 Flex Starter?
Who should I start at Flex for week 1.

Ryan Mathews (Who I drafted in the 4th round) vs. ARI
or
Steven Jackson (Who I drafted in the 6th round) vs. NO

Danny Woodhead and Donald Brown scare me plus Arizona's defense has been solid but they have had some injuries and suspensions so idk what to think. I am also starting Roddy White if that has any effect in your decision.

    It's week one, roll with what you drafted. Start Mathews and don't look back -- there's a reason you took him two rounds earlier. In later weeks I might go the other way, but generally speaking week one is full of easy decisions (after the draft, of course).

    I'd roll the dice on SJax. Both matchups, frankly, suck. From limited preseason action I've seen...I don't think AZ can be slept on, even with the loss of Dockett and Dansby. I was physically present at AZ's dress rehearsal against Cincy, and they made Giovani Bernard look like Shonne Green. It was depressing (as a Gio owner in like 3 leagues.)

    I think your fear of that 3-headed monster in SD is legitimate. Obviously, Woodhead doesn't really factor to steal a ton of carries from Mathews...but he will be prominent in the passing game, which could keep Mathews off the field. And Donald Brown...I mean, they paid that guy to come to the team and contribute. Mathews was a pleasant surprise last year, but I don' think I like him week 1 vs. AZ.

    Meanwhile, SJax appears to be healthy, as does the rest of that very potent passing game, and I just see his opportunity for un-vultured touches as being greater than Mathews. Neither one is a sexy start, but ultimately, I think SJax just has more potential to see enough work to put together a decent start.

    well because sjax has hammy issues already and NO will probably pound them where they wont be running the ball that much....arizona has like half of their defensive starters hurt
