I have 2 flex spots and several options. My league is a deep 10-team H2H keeper league with standard scoring and no PPR or bonuses. Right now, I'm between Ryan Grant, Nate Burleson, and Santonio Holmes (can start any 2). Here are all my options:

RB - Ryan Grant vs. Dallas
WR - Nate Burleson at Arizona
WR - Santonio Holmes vs. Cincinnati

RB - Marshawn Lynch at Tennessee
RB - Brian Westbrook at San Diego - Questionable
RB - Justin Fargas vs. Kansas City
RB - Shonn Greene vs. Jacksonville
WR - Mike Sims-Walker vs. New York Jets

The rest of my lineup is:

QB - Drew Brees at St. Louis
RB - Adrian Peterson vs. Detroit
WR - Calvin Johnson at Minnesota - Probable
WR - Devin Hester at San Francisco
TE - Jason Witten at Green Bay
DST - Saints at St. Louis
K - Neil Rackers vs. Seattle

We keep 1 player at each position each year, which is how I was able to land both Drew Brees and Adrian Peterson. Thanks in advance for your opinions!

I like Ryan Grant and Nate Burleson.  <br /><br />Grant provides pretty reliable production and tends to heat up the second half of the year.  <br /><br />Burleson will be thrown to a lot, especially if Arizona stuffs the run (which they tend to do) and get ahead early against an inconsistent Seatlle secondary. <br /><br />Mike Sims-Walker seems like a decent option.  So does Brian Westbrook (but ONLY IF you're 100% certain he's gonna start and not split carries with McCoy).  <br /><br />Good Luck!

Most weeks I'm all about Mike Sims-Walker. He may have been the best FA pickup I've ever made. However, as a Jets fan, I'm fully aware of what Darrelle Revis can do to another team's #1 receiver. I think my other options are good enough to warrant sitting Sims-Walker this week.

I also think I'm at the point where Westbrook's gonna have to prove to me that he can still be a fantasy contributor. I knew it was a risk taking him in the draft, and it's pretty much gone as badly as possible. The matchup's a good one, but I can't trust him given my other options.

I'm leaning toward Grant and Burleson, because I think that's the safest play. But something tells me Santonio Holmes is going to have a big game. We'll see.

Thanks for the input!

While you have a lot of variables the solution seems a little more straight forward than you might think.

westbrook is a bust (I feel ya I took LT as my 1st rounder...oiii, I don't plan on playing him anymore until he shows me something)

I dunno if I agree with sitting walker....jags like slinging the ball around and with MJD i think there will be a lot of 1 on 1 coverage

I think it's a no brainer you start Grant and Burleson....
grant is an obvious one to me, the guys is a stud
Burleson leads Seattle in receptions...start the leading receiver on a team...holmes played like crap last game against the Bengals

my vote - Stick with walker - play Grant + Burleson

You could damn near flip a coin between Holmes and Burleson.
