Week 9 – PPR Flex Play Rankings

CLICK HERE FOR CURRENT WEEKLY FANTASY ADVICE

Roy Helu vs 49ers -

I have Roy Helu listed as a bench option this week against the 49ers, but if your desperate for a flex play option give him a shot. The Redskins are likely to play from behind this week, and while Helu wasn’t running the football, he consistently the go to running back in the passing game. Washington has already announced that Tashard Choice won’t suit up this week, and I have a feeling that Shanahan has grown tired of Ryan Torain at this point.

This could lead to Helu seeing an opportunity to be the starter, as it’s likely that Shanahan wants to see him at some point as the starter. Heck, eventually you can hold onto one Redskins running back and as bad as things may seem one week, eventually he can return to the good graces of this Shanahan.

Again only use Helu if your desperate, but in a PPR league, he can give you reception points and may see more activity as the Redskins say in passing situations, in the second half.

Kevin Faulk vs Giants –

In his first action in over a year, Kevin Faulk was the top running back in the Patriots game plan as he saw considerable work in the passing game and helped carry the load. Danny Woodhead basically took over Faulk’s job last year and was worth a flex play start in PPR leagues. While Faulk won’t be a weekly start, he can help you through the bye weeks, and has a decent matchup to take advantage of this week against the Giants.

Eric Decker @ Raiders –

Yes, Tim Tebow has much to learn before he’s ready to be a respectable starting quarterback in the NFL, but at least he’s looking for Eric Decker in the passing game. Decker was targeted over ten times against the Lions and made a few nice moves on his touchdown score from 14-yards out. The Broncos may not be blown out this week, but they will likely be playing from behind in the fourth quarter, and will play from behind most weeks.

Decker should remain a decent flex play to WR-3 start going forward as I believe he will remain as one of Tebow’s (or Kyle Orton) top targets in the passing game.
