Pick my Flex for week 1 (1 Viewer)

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Talk me off the ledge. Giving serious thought to benching TyMontgomerg this week and rolling out Rishard Matthews. 

If the MIA game was on, I'd likely start Parker at Flex, but this is my choice. 

Presently, I've got Ty in the lineup - he's going to get carries, he's going to get receptions. He's the feature back in one of the best offenses in the NFL. And the Packers have beaten the Seahawks the last couple meetings. Montgomery's stat line was certainly flex-worthy with ~80 APY & a TD.

But SEA is legitimately good against the run, and I'm a bit concerned Montgomery gets shut down. 

Meanwhile Decker & Davis are both banged up, and Marriota has a ton of trust in RMatthews - and Oakland has a butter-soft secondary. This game reeks of shootout.

Tempting to plug in my WR5 over my RB3

Talk me off the ledge. Please vote. Leave a link and I'll try to answer your Q's (though I've done a fair amount of that around here regardless)

Yeah - probably overthinking things.

You should play Ty until Matthews proves himself.

Matthews proved himself last year - not sure what you mean with this response.

I mean, proves hes a better pick for your flex. Not that he wasn't a good player.

Hmm. Well that won't help me this week. 

I'll stick with Tyz thanks for the help.

Ty no question.

Montgomery easily. Matthews had a good year last year, but they added Decker and Davis, and both those guys could be ahead of him in the pecking order.

Decker & Davis are both banged up. And Mariota trusts Mathews. 

I think it's closer than folks here assert. 

Ty is going against a top defense that's held him more or less in check in the past. 

And GB throws less to the RBs than I'd like for a PPR league. 

Rishard has a cream puff secondary and since Davis is dealing with a sprained ankle and Decker is more of a possession type, Rishard seems to be the one Titan who might be able to beat the Raiders deep. 

I'll likely go with Ty, but I see this as a tougher call than many here.
