Need to make a decision here today since Dallas plays tonight.
My opponent has Zeke. Obviously if it is announced that Zeke is out, I am rolling with Pollard. However, if Zeke is active for the game, who would you go with in the flex?
I have the following options for my flex in a half point PPR..
Pollard @ NO
Devonta Freeman @ Pitt
Kendrick Bourne @ Buffalo
this is a tough call though, these options are all pretty close.
I'd probably go Freeman, but could be convinced to go with Pollard.
Kamara tonight vs DAL or
Josh Jacobs vs WAS
The offense with Dallas is very effective, and Pollard can hurt a team in a number of ways.
That to me is Pollard if Zeke is out. Even if NO is good against the run he can easily have 30 rush 20+ rec and a td. Dallas loves to handoff or throw to a Rb or TE at the goal line. IF Zeke is in I might pivot to Bourne
PJ:
If Kamara is active you play him. He is your top pick and your top pick should not be a matchup guy. Having said that in the past Hill has shown NOT to check down to Kamara. He just runs with the ball himself. So take that into account.
I'd sit him because he missed the past three weeks with injury, Mark Ingram is completely healthy and I have a decent fallback option with Josh Jacobs.
I obviously like Kamara more than Jacobs, but given the circumstances Jacobs might be a better start. I'm still deciding.
but it has almost nothing to do with Dallas.

This one's a lot closer and a lot tougher. On one hand, Dallas has been pretty good against the run but notably good against the pass to RBs. That's where Kamara does a lot of damage
That said, WFT has been even better in both areas. This comes down to who I feel has the best chance to punch a TD in, and I just have trouble trusting the Saints offense, and then you have a goal line TD vulture like Taysom Hill...I'd have to go Jacobs here.
Mitchell v Seattle
Ekeler V Cincinnati
Henderson v Jacksonville
Gibson vs Raiders
Allstarjim says sit Henderson but with Stamford playing like crap… Henderson can get a lot of mileage Sunday.
That to me is Pollard if Zeke is out.
My question was who to start if Zeke is ACTIVE

Henderson is not a definite to play
Starting RT Ryan Ramczyk (knee) and LT Terron Armstead (knee) were also ruled out. Extremely short-handed against a Cowboys team fully healthy for the first time since Week 1, the Saints are fighting an uphill battle in Taysom Hill's first start. Mark Ingram will handle every opportunity, as he did in two previous starts for Kamara, as a touch-based RB2 on Thursday.

For you need to ask yourself which flex player is more likely to score me as close to 10 points (if they go over its bonus)?

Did you read the whole thing?
It clearly says if Zeke is IN I might pivots to Bourne
Kamara tonight vs DAL or
Josh Jacobs vs WAS
Kamara, always. I take it he was close last week but just wasn't there. They seem to be careful with him so if he's playing he will be catching lots of passes.
Normally id go ingram based on opportunity, but both saint tackles being out scare me. What do you guys think?

Check those Jax defensive numbers against RBs. Especially in recemt weeks. They are not just good right now, but dominant against the run. And Gibson is hot right now.

I missed that... thank you!
I am leaning that way too. Plus Zeke could tweak his knee again.
Is Jerry Jones the coach tonight?
