Flex Start: Landry, Lynch, or Yeldon? (1 Viewer)

[Sofingraw]

Need to pick a flex starter. Format is: 10 team, standard scoring, 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1 Flex, 1 K 1 DEF. 

Lineup follows:

QB - Cam Newton, RB1 - David Johnson, RB2 - Jordan Howard, WR1 Michael Thomas, WR2 Mike Evans, TE George Kittle 

1 Flex spot, with bench holding:

Jamaal Williams, Carlos Hyde, Marshawn Lynch, TJ Yeldon, Jarvis Landry, Jordy Nelson, Eric Ebron

I’m leaning toward Yeldon or Landry, but am seriously considering all except Jordy or Ebron.

I normally like to use an RB in the flex due to volume, but Landry gets plenty of looks. Plus, with the Gordon news, he’s the clear #1. I would go Yeldon, but Fournette still might hobble out there. Richard looked good behind Beast Mode last week, and that scares me a bit. Not excited about Williams, though he will have volume. Same for Hyde, but with young talent behind him in Chubb and Johnson. 

I feel like I have several viable options here, but few without question marks behind/beside them. 

Thanks!

Since it's Standard, I'd go Yeldon. He's got the best chance of your options of getting a TD. Gordon gone from Cleveland will probably draw more double teams to Landry and the Raiders looked to still be figuring out Gruden's offense. Bortles shouldn't scare you when the Jags get to the redzone and I would suspect that they'll lean on Yeldon when they get close.

I'd go Landry. Haley has been using him like he was Antonio Brown, and that was the case all preseason too.
