    Unfortunately I don't have a viable RB to start as flex, so im stuck between Emmanuel Sanders, James Jones, and Kenbrell Thompkins. I wan't to throw Kenbrell out there, but I don't know if its a good choice on his first regular season game.

    What do you guys think?

    james jones will be getting balls thrown his way, jordy nelson is just coming back from knee injury.

    I'm debating starting thompkins as my flex too. I think i'm going to wait to see how game 1 goes though.

    If it was me, I'd start either of the others, at least for a week or two until you see what Thompkins actually does. Remember, hype aside, you're talking about an undrafted rookie who didn't do much in college, playing a position where even the most elite prospects generally have some "breaking in" time before they produce consistently.

    #2, Brown is #1, but youre talking about an offense with no RB, so both of them are gonna get a workout, assumedly.

    Well I just made a ride or die move and tradded for McFadden, so i'll flex him, and prob use Sanders as WR2 bc like you said, they're gonna be doing alot of passing.

    James Jones as the #3 WR is just about the same as Sanders as the Steelers #2. One of the best offenses in the league with a much much better QB. I would most certainly go with James Jones over Sanders

    hmm, thats true, but they're vs one of the best defenses in the league
