Surefire “Flex” Starters
- Robby Anderson, Carolina Panther wed receiver, appears to be quarterback Teddy Bridgewater’s “go to” guy. Anderson has 15 catches for 223 yards and 1 touchdown.
- Dalvin Cook, Minnesota Vikings running back, has 113 yards rushing and 3 touchdowns. He is the Vikings most productive weapon in the “Red Zone.”
Riding the Bench
- David Johnson, Houston Texans running back, is supposed to lead the Houston running attack, He has 22 carries for 111 yards and 1 touchdown.
- Jordan Reed, San Francisco 49ers tight end, is filling in for the injured George Kittle. He has 9 receptions for 62 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Underrated
- Chris Carson, Seattle Seahawks running back, has 23 carries for 93 yards plus 9 catches for 81 yards receiving and 3 touchdowns. He is one reason that quarterback Russell Wilson is an MVP candidate.
Overrated
- Nyheim Hines, Indianapolis Colts running back, may have been a “one-week wonder.” After a productive week 1, he wasn’t used much in week 2’s game.
Sleeper “Flex” of the Week
- Adam Thielen, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver, could help the Viikings to their 1st wini of the season with a multiple touchdown performance.
