I need two (or three if J Jones can't be my flex). Standard league.
Must-start
Joique Bell - Going to ride recent success. Good matchup.
The rest ( need 1 or 2 of them)
Fred Jackson - Volume and great matchup. Fred is fred and always has semi-low ceiling.
Jeremy Hill - Stud with volume. Bad matchup. DEN has great run D and could go up early and force CIN to abandon run game.
Tre Mason - Volume. Deceptively bad matchup. If you erase the two outlier stud RB performances vs. NYG (MLynch 4 TD, ASmith freak game) they are a top 5run D.
Lamar Miller - Good matchup. Team always abandons run early.
I'm starting Joique but which 1 or 2 of those mediocre options do I roll with???
rankings for reference:
JBell 9
Jackson 13
Hill 14
Miller 15
Mason 16
I can't believe they are all bunched like that!
Hill is hard to sit, but I think I'd go with Freddie. He's a very unappreciated fantasy option every year, and he seems healthy with a great matchup. I think he's the safest option and should be good for a nice day.
If you feel like being risky, then Hill or Miller (in that order) give you more upside, but I think the downside of those guys is enough to make me go with Freddie.
