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.
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.
