RB/Flex Sit/Start Issues...
This is particularly difficult this week...I have 1 RB spot, and 1 Flex spot open, and need to pick from the following:

Joique Bell v. NE: Bush is probably not playing, and I'm doubting Joique Bell is who the Pats are game-planning against...might catch em off guard and have a solid day?

Jeremy Hill v. HOU: Matchup is w/e...just scared to start either Cincy back right now until we see who gets more work. If anything, this might be last full week I would confidently start Hill, given that Bernard will probably be "eased back" in to the lineup (but I don't 100% believe that)

Jerick McKinnon v. GB: Only question that matters...with Asiata out, does he finally push 20 touches, w/ a GL carry or two? If I knew the answer was yes, I wouldn't even be having this problem.

Shane Vereen & Jonas Gray: Don't know which, if either, of these guys are going to have the better game against a tough run D...but it's hard to ignore that either one of them could be better than any back on this list any given week.

So those are my RBs. I also have Odell Beckham that I could play at Flex. At the current moment, I have Hill and Bell slotted in...but I keep playing musical chairs with all of them, and can't land on a set I like best.

    Go with bell. I believe they limited him this week in practice because they going to pound it with him. He had a good game against Arizona who has a way better run def than pats. NE have a hard time with run. They will have to get bell heavily involved to get Calvin involved as well since NE has a great secondary they will have to. hill had been running well and should continue as well

    I would probably flex Beckham, especially if you're in a PPR or half-PPR. I also give him a better matchup than all your RBs.

    As for your RB slot, Vereen has done better against tough Run D's than Gray has, and Hill has a really tough matchup as well. I would flip between Vereen, Bell, and McKinnon. Vereen has the highest floor, McKinnon has the highest ceiling, and Bell is inbetween on both.

    I assume this is standard scoring as you're not leaning more toward ODB.

    I like Vereen. The Pats love to switch it up week-to-week, and since Detroit loves to rush the QB, Brady will be looking for quick throws and screens. Even if it's not PPR, those yards will add up.

    I think I like McKinnon over Bell, though it's close. Asiata's out, and Tate isn't going to eat too much into the carries.
