Pick 2 RB and 1 flex to start (PPR)

[Erik]

12 team PPR, decimal scoring, all teams 6.

Pick 2 RB: Hill @ PIT, Hillman vs. GB, Ivory @ OAK, Riddick vs. KC in London, Stewart vs. IND.

Pick 1 Flex: One of the RB not picked above, Michael Floyd @ CLE, Ebron vs. KC in London.

Fantasypros says Ivory and Stewart for RB and Hill for flex, but everyone is bunched real close.

Stewart/Hillman/Ivory

Stewart/Ivory/Ebron.

I think Denver will fall behind Green Bay early and be forced to rely on the passing game. And Hillman isn't a big part of their passing game. Ebron had a nice 55 yard catch last week and is starting to look like a future top 10 TE.

If John Brown sits, as is rumored, does that make Floyd the preferred flex?

Assuming Stewart and Ivory are the locks for the 2 RBs, I think I'd be inclined to go with Hillman at Flex. 100+ yards in two of the last three, increased usage, and coming off of his highest carry game of the season (where he looked good, too). He's a very nice flex play this week, imo.


Edit: Oh, but you'll have to play four guys if Brown's out. Yeah, slot Floyd in at WR in Brown's stead.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I don't own Brown. Only three spots in play here. My question is, does Brown being out, which likely gives Floyd a chance to score more FF points, raise Floyd's projections enough to warrant starting him at flex over Ebron and the RBs I don't use in the RB slots?

I think it does - I'd probably go Stewart/Ivory/Floyd at that point. Floyd's targets have increased the last few weeks and he has a load of potential in that offense.

Floyd only had 4 targets last week and Cleveland is much better against the pass than the run. I don't like Floyd much this week. I'd stick with Stewart, Ivory and Hillman
