Standard Thursday Night RB/Flex Fight: Is Rainey starting over...

Tonight's game is causing too many decisions, I preferred being able to ignore last week's matchup.

Forte is my RB1, with RB2 and Flex up for grabs between:

Alfred Morris just looks like what you expect a traditional RB to look like. Apparently Gruden likes to use him and without RG3 (even with...) he looks like the run threat that needs to be established every game. The Eagles run D looks competent but not amazing.
Zac Stacy seems to be fending off Benny Cunningham and getting the volume you want to see heading into what should be a favorable matchup against Dallas.
Joique is apparently the real lead back at Detroit and the Packers aren't doing much to stop the ground game yet, his knee tweak is a common one with him.

And finally: Bobby Rainey should be getting lots of work as word is that Doug Martin will probably be out for the week, and the Falcons are making everyone look like worldbeaters on the ground.

I'm leaning Morris and Rainey at the moment...who starts (and do WRs like Keenan Allen, Edelman or DJax even get in the Flex conversation with these guys?)?

Rainey is a borderline RB1 against Atlanta with Doug sitting. I would go with him and Joique. I think Joique has a huge game against the Packers this week.
