12 team non-PPR, good bonus for long TD. Start 1RB, 2WR, 2Flex. I went with one RB theory, but it was AP. I am stuck with SJax, Sankey, D Freeman now.
1. I am strong at WR with Dez, Harvin, VJax, and the rookies (Cooks and Benjamin). Which WR 4 would you start as flex this week between the rookies?
2. D Brown and Khiry are free agents. Which one should I go for? Not sure I will get either of them, but if I do would you start above SJax? (Or even with SJax instead of rookie WR)
I think you should grab Robinson and start him above Jackson. I think that Brown is valuable right now and might put up decent numbers, but Robinson should maintain his role at least as a functional player even when Ingram eventually comes back. So you get the same short term value (we have them ranked closely this week), while you get better long term value with Robinson over Brown. I'm in the same boat with Peterson in a couple of leagues.
We like both of the rookies, but we like Cooks a little extra this week against Minnesota.
We have Cooks a little higher this week. He offers more upside where I think Benjamin might be more consistent - meaning Cooks could explode or do what he did last week. But Cooks is getting a ton of snaps and it's a much better offense to roll with.
I think Robinson a little better. Seems like the timeframe is about the same but I think Robinson will have some value when Ingram gets back. Brown probably not as much when Mathews comes back.
I think it seems like SJax's value is kind of capped and you have to hope they give it to him for a TD in close. They have a lot of other up and coming options at RB that take away from his work and I imagine that won't change. So yeah, I think I'd start either of them ahead of SJax...
