Title: Flex Help For Week #1
Post by Tony_O on Sep 3^rd, 2003, 3:09pm

I can only start one of these players for my flex position. Your opinion would be appreciated!

Correll Buckhalter vs. Tampa Bay(Great D)
Ashley Lelie vs. Bengals on the road
Rod Gardner vs. Jets
Orlandi Gary vs. Cardinials(Only been with team for about a week)

Thanking you in advance for your help!

I'd go with Rod Gardner... he is a starting WR on a "throw first, ask questions later" team. The Jets defense is middling, so he should have his chances.

Buckhalter is part of a RBBC and is going against a tough D (although the Eagles ran roughshod all over the Bucs last regular season).

Gary may or may not play. He's a good choice if you know that he is the starter, but we don't, so he sits.

Lelie is still an unknown. He is the #3 WR on a team with a new QB, so I'd wait on him a bit.

Looks like a pretty easy choice from my perspective. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Gardner. Buckhalter's a close second. Philly gave a good analysis of the situation.

The most reliable would have to be Gardner.

My gut instinct is telling me Lelie, for I am a man who likes to take risks. I have him as my #3 in two of my leagues for the week.

Another vote for Gardner... the guy caught for over 1000 yards last season and scored more TD's then guys named Moss, Burress, Horn, Robinson, Bruce, Holt, Coles, Booker, Mason, Smith (Jimmy & Rod) and Booker... :o Last time I checked those were some pretty good wide receivers. Good luck.
