Flex Spot - Lynch or Welker

[hepcat]

In the flex spot I'm having a tough time deciding...

Wes Welker @ San Diego

Marshawn Lynch vs. Arizona

I'm starting Deangelo and Matt Forte at the RBs and Larry Fitz and Steve Smith (NYG) in the WRs

Felix Jones and J-Stew are the only relavent bench players and Stew is close to being dropped

Leaning towards Lynch since I'm starting Hernandez at TE and Deion Branch being back in NE.

Normally I'd like to start a RB @ flex because they get more touches than a WR. But Welker is so much better than Lynch who is still learning the system in Sea. Wouldn't worry about Branch being back, Welker did pretty well when Moss was with the team. I don't see Branch making Welker any less valuable.

I would also start Welker.

Welker, it's not even close.

I'll play Devils advocate, if it's a non PPR league I would start Lynch and here's why.... Pete Carroll has already said that Lynch is his guy and he wants to give him the chance to show what he can do. In his first game with the 'Hawks Lynch had seven more carries then Forsett. I would expect him to have around 10 more then him today. Unless you're banking on one of Welkers 8 yard over the middle catches going for a TD I think a RB who should get 20-25 touches is a much better threat to make it to the endzone then a WR who makes a lot of 8-10 yard catches over the middle of the field in traffic.....

Lynch?

I benched Deangelo and started both Lynch and Welker. Didn't matter all of them sucked. My whole TEAM sucked this week.

Lynch?

Welker: 4 catches, 25 yards....

This week was feast or famine for a lot of key players.

Welker is not as effective without Moss being such a deep threat, see if you can trick someone into trading for him.

Tried. Welker ain't moving.

I tried to trade McNabb to the guy in my league starting Romo, but besides Andre Johnson he didn't have anything I wanted. I even threw in Felix Jones who is sure to start racking up the numbers with Romo out.
