Look at it this way:
Option 1: Start Julio, DThomas, Zeke, Hunt, Howard -- Watkins as 6th man
Option 2: Start Julio, OBJ, Zeke, Howard, Evans -- DThomas as 6th man
I can't help but salivate at the potential of being able to start Julio, OBJ, and Evans at flex every week, plus Zeke and Howard at RB. That's as formidable a starting 5 as there could possibly be, even in an 8 team league. But man it really leaves you thin at RB, especially on Chicago's bye week. I'd counter him and see if he would throw you a RB back if you also added in DThomas or Watkins. Something like OBJ/Evans/Powell for Hunt/Watkins just so you get back a RB you could plug in in case of emergency.
