Flex lineup (1 Viewer)

[schooner44]

I'm in a league for the first time (after 16 years) with a flex position in the starting lineup. I want to get some perspective from the sharks around as far as what to evaluate when deciding to start a RB or WR in a flex position. This isn't a WDIS thread but here's an example:

RBs: MBIII, M Turner, F Taylor, Fargas

WRs: Colston, C Johnson, Boldin, Driver, R Brown

Starting lineup requires 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex

What are the typical rules people use to decide between RBs & WRs? Like I said, I'm not looking for people to tell me who to start but the reasoning behind making these choices. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

who will score you the most points per week. usually this is a starting RB as any starting RB > WR3 or 4, but there are exceptions.

This reminded me of the Madden quote where he says that scorin more points than your opponent is essential in winning. Makes me laugh...lol.Seriously, this is the kind of info I am looking for--thanks.

I've always played the matchups with the flex position. When you are dealing with second and third options the matchup is a more important factor than with #1s
