Fourteen team, two RB, three WR, one flex league ... trying to decide who to start at running back and WR.

RB:
Matt Forte vs ATL
Michael Bush vs DEN
Tim Hightower vs NYG
Jahvid Best @ TB
Roy Helu vs NYG

I think Forte and Hightower are locked in to start, but will probably start either Michael Bush (vs Denver) or Jahvid Best (vs Tampa) in the flex spot.

WR:
Mike Williams vs DET
Lee Evans vs PIT
Jordy Nelson vs NO
Sims-Walker vs PHI
Little vs CIN
Benn vs DET

Here I've only locked in Williams but am leaning toward Evans and Nelson for the other two spots. My WR group is a dumpster fire unless Sims-Walker can show some more rapport with Bradford.

What say you, OC?

Id put in Best. For a flex spot, I like the guys that can just explode. Best showed last year he is easily capable of it.

I agree start Best at the flex spot and I like MSW and Evans to start at WR.

Bench:
RB - Ryan Matthews, Tashard Choice
WR - Marques Colston, Pierre Garcon

Would you change my starting line up at all? Please explain.
