Help with flex spot, McKinnon, Cobb, Cooks, Crowell, Olsen, Booker? (1 Viewer)

Having a really hard time picking from those this week for the flex spot.  Please chime in and help.

I gave these guys a good long look and I see why you are having trouble deciding...they are all very close. I think you can narrow it down to Cooks, Crowell or Mckinnon.

J Mckinnon - probably has the best overall matchup... will do well either way...if they get in a shootout great. If Minn clamps down on Indy offense hopefully they run him.

B. Cooks - going against stout defense but member of best offense in this group. New Orleans hard to predict though...

I Crowell - Decent upside, decent matchup, game flow likely to be in his favor (low scoring, cold weather)

My gut says Crowell just edging out Cooks. Mckinnon's only plus for me is the decent matchup but that's just not enough for me to start him over the other two.

Here's my dilemma if you want to weigh in....

I'd go Cooks, hoping Thomas plays and takes Peterson coverage

I think its between Olsen and Cooks. I'd trot out Olsen in a game I expect Carolina to be playing from behind in.

Bump, please help.

I'd say it kind of depends on what you need. Are you heavily favored? They you want a low floor like Crowell. If you're a heavy underdog you want a high ceiling like Cooks. Close game I'd probably go Crowell.

Projections are me down by 3 points.  It is a 1pt ppr league

I would go Cooks too.

Crowell is a steady floor, but you need upside.
