Week 1 Flex and waivers

[toolg]

Who do I start at Flex this week?

I don't trust the rookie RBs out of the gate. Deebo is coming back from a Jones fracture, he isn't even sure to play. So it has to be McLaurin this week, right?

Also question, is it worth picking up Malcolm Brown off waivers as Cam Akers insurance? I'd have to drop Adrian Peterson due to roster limits. Malcolm Brown would solidify my RB3 spot as they guy who's the likely starting RB for the Rams. Is it worth it? Or is that team just a RB committee mess, don't even bother?

I would say McLaurin for sure.  I'm starting him over Akers in the flex in one of my money leagues.  I drafted a bunch of rookie RBs but I'm waiting on using them until I have an idea of what there usage will be unless some injury poops up and forces my hand.

Same. I have CMC and Mixon starting at RB. Byes are Week 13 and Week 9, so I should have some idea who is and who isn't playing by the time I have to start one from the bench.

week 1....if it's close, start the guy with the least amount of change since last season. there was no preseason so rookies and guys in new systems are risky, imo.
