PRO Trashman’s 2020 Week 1 Flex Rankings: RB, WR, TE

Trashman HeaderOften times, there is nothing tougher (or more important) than deciding who your weekly flex-plays are. It can be a mind-numbing experience having to make cross-positional projections.

This season, our RosterWatch PRO community will have personal and exclusive access to our very own disgusting Trashman, who has carefully curated his personal weekly flex rankings in order to help you in gaining input about your roster decisions. Please refer to the Rankings tab for our staff positional rankings.

(Based on .5 PPR scoring).

    Awesome. Love this feature.

    When will staff flex rankings be out each week? Defense/Kicker?

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      We don’t have flex rankings from the staff as a consensus – only Trashman’s, but we answer all the questions that we can here so feel free to ask, and also we encourage you to use the Vegas tool to help with tough cross-positional decisions.

    PPR, Fuller tonight or DJ Chark on Sunday?

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      As much as I hate to say it I think I go Chark but I’d try to find a way to start both. They are both good plays. I have them back to back at WR14 and WR15 – if you feel strongly to want to play Fuller- go ahead.

      1. ↓ Post By MikeVegas

        I plan on playing DJ Chark Jr. over Odell Beckham Jr. this weekend–as my WR2.
        Davante Adams is my WR1.
        Todd Gurley is my flex.

      2. ↓ Post By rudymazzocca@yahoo.com

        I also have ridley as my other WR. my rbs are Henry, Jacobs and Conner in my flex. only start 2 WR. I will ride with Ridley and Chark.

        1. ↓ Post By MikeVegas

          I like your RBs!

  3. ↓ Post By Ron

    Who’s gonna get the most points this weekend. Derek Carr, tyrod Taylor or teddy Bridgewater.

    Also ppr devante Parker, Henry ruggs, or Antonio Gibson in flex?

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      prefer Teddy over those options. Think I would lean Gibson in the flex.

  4. ↓ Post By Cancop1

    PPR Flex- AJ Green Henry Ruggs Akers or Gibson

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      a lot of us have the Gibson/Ruggs decision lmao. I could be waaaay off but I’m leaning Gibson in PPR, maybe in Standard I would go with Ruggs and hope for the big play. Think Gibson is going to bring a good PPR floor, we’ll find out soon enough.

      1. ↓ Post By Cancop1

        Over AJ Green ?

  5. ↓ Post By DanMach

    Who would you start between Burrow or Baker. Tyrod Taylor and Daniel Jones are available too.
    Any changes to the lineup. Evans being our kills me. Any concerns about M Sanders?
    QB – Baker or Burrow
    RB – Joe Mixon and M Sanders
    WR – DJ Moore and M Brown
    TE – J. Smith
    Flex – J Taylor
    Bench – M Mack, Z Moss, D Parker, M Evans, D Jackson, D Williams (KC)

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      I do have concerns about Sanders but lets see if we get more news before making any rash decisions there. I would play Tyrod over Baker or Burrow this week. If you drop Baker no one will pick him up after what sshould be a tough matchup vs. BAL – wouldn’t want to risk dropping Burrow

      1. ↓ Post By DanMach

        If for some reason Sanders doesn’t go would it make sense to start Mack and Taylor or go with one of the others. I can also risk starting D Williams tonight?

        1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

          cross that bridge when we get there, there is no indication that Sanders won’t go.

          1. Post By DanMach

            Alex,
            It looks like we are at that bridge. Maximum lineup suggestion given that Sanders will likely be limited and Evans out. Help another Texan out!

            QB – Baker or Burrow
            RB – Joe Mixon and M Sanders
            WR – DJ Moore and M Brown
            TE – J. Smith
            Flex – J Taylor
            Bench – M Mack, Z Moss, D Parker, M Evans, D Jackson, D Williams (KC)

  6. ↓ Post By chelomendez99@gmail.com

    RB: Gibson
    WR: Sutton (fml)
    Flex: Ruggs
    K: None

    Bench: Dobbins, Fournette, RoJo, McKissic, E. Sanders

    Let’s say Sutton doesn’t go this week, should I start anyone on my bench (if yes, who?), or should I pick up Shenault (if yes, who do I drop?).

    I included the fact that I don’t have a kicker because I will have to drop someone either way.

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      If Sutton can’t go I’d move Ruggs into the flex and get Ronald Jones (yuck) in. I think Arians will give him every shot to lose the job before moving onto Fournette.

  7. ↓ Post By Cancop1

    PPR TE- nasty options. Hockenson, Ebron or Jonu

  8. ↓ Post By jbturner89@gmail.com

    PPR pick 2:
    Cam Akers, Ronald Jones, Christian Kirk, CeeDee Lamb

      1. ↓ Post By Baron VonIronCock

        Trashman . Can u plz post an avatar ?!

        😉

        1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

          I’ve been asking for years Baron 🙂

  9. ↓ Post By The Good Doc

    I feel like this will be a tough decision early in the year but later might be able to do a consolidation 2 for 1 trade for a monster.
    .5 PPR
    JT, Akers or Moss?
    Saquan and Sanders are my starting RBs.
    Thank you RW!

    1. ↓ Post By Baron VonIronCock

      Colts should be up in this game from the 1st qrtr on. So the rbs should get good play. I gamble on JT.
      Should get 70 yards min and with any luck scores and catches 2 or 3 balls

      1. ↓ Post By The Good Doc

        Thank you very much. I have him in and going to keep him there.

  10. ↓ Post By Mandave88

    I need 3 flex please

    Gallup
    Waller
    DeSean Jackson
    Jonathon Taylor
    Antonio Gibson
    Anthony Miller

    1. ↓ Post By Baron VonIronCock

      Djax
      Waller
      And jt or gibson (Alex seems to like gibson for a safe floor)

  11. ↓ Post By rickymurawski@gmail.com

    Who should I start in Flex Cooper Kupp or David Johnson?

  12. ↓ Post By Bigmanmike

    Sutton may be injured should i start Fuller instead?
    My bench also includes Akers, Dionte Johnson, Jordan Howard, John Brown, Slayton and Chris Thompson.

  13. ↓ Post By Ron

    Now that raegor has come back to practice do you think he’s worth the pickup and drop djax?

    1. ↓ Post By The Good Doc

      Ron, I think Reagor ROS is a better person to have then DJax. But for week 1 I would rather play DJax.

  14. ↓ Post By Sushi

    RW nation!

    Rest of season, who do you guys like between Reagor or Shenault?

    1. ↓ Post By Chad Westgerdes

      Reagor

  15. ↓ Post By Chad Westgerdes

    I feel like I just got a steal with my trade. (.5 ppr 8 team Superflex Dynasty.)

    Received: DJ Moore and 2nd round ’21

    Gave: Fournette and 1st round ’21

    RB’s- Sanders, Gordon, Singletary, Akers, Gibson, Michel, Henderson, Scott, Harris, Evans.
    WR’s- Hopkins, Allen, Kupp, Lockett, Boyd, Slayton, Preston, Edwards. (Now DJ too)

    I have won the past 2 years so chances are my pick will be toward end of first, other guy is an average team.
    I also already own one of the worse teams in our leagues ’21 first rounders and did not have a 2nd but now do.

    I think it was a steal, thoughts?

    1. ↓ Post By Baron VonIronCock

      Chad Yessir u won
      Anytime u get an ascending wr in his early twenties
      For a brittle rb u usually win.

      Iam a lil jelly right now

      1. ↓ Post By Chad Westgerdes

        Good to hear! Hopefully it helps me on the way to that 3 peat 😉

        GL this year.

  16. ↓ Post By Baron VonIronCock

    Ok
    Lets address the elephant in the room.
    What are your thoughts on Clyde edward hellaire yesterday?

    Its worrisome to me who went balls out on him and saw how useless he was when the opposing d was expecting a run. Namely goal line and short yardage plays.

    1 yard to go, negative 3 yards on 3 consecutive rushes.
    Is it he isnt acclamated to the pro style stacked boxes?
    Also alarming he didnt catch a ball (or many)

    1. ↓ Post By Spikethe101@gmail.com

      Yep noticed that as well. Odds are he will not be the goaline back moving forward. It was like 12 plays over 3 drives inside the 3…. he will be the 20 to 20 back

    2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Quite observant Baron– will certainly be in interesting narrative to watch. Nobody ever said CEH wasn’t a bit shrimpy! Def a bad dude, though!

  17. ↓ Post By Spikethe101@gmail.com

    Late draft question if im drafting evans in a holdem league in the 3rd what round do i back him up with scottie miller in a 20rd draft. Miller didn’t make the cheat sheet but imagine he would now

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      That’s fine, Miller looked pretty good as the WR3 when I was at Bucs camp-

  18. ↓ Post By drew.g.summitt@wmich.edu

    Am I crazy for keeping Daniel Jones in this week against Pitt because I like his season long upside rather than dropping him for Matt Ryan?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Yes, I would play Ryan and would not mind picking him up

      1. ↓ Post By drew.g.summitt@wmich.edu

        Thanks, Byron

  19. ↓ Post By Srogerss90@hotmail.com

    Hey full point ppr need a rb 2 wr2 and a flex between
    TY Hilton
    Diggs
    Lamb
    Gurley
    Mark Ingram
    Also have Chris Carson not sure if it’s right but he’s my rb1

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      SRogers if I am reading this correctly you need to pick 3 off this list?

      I’d go with Gurley, Mark Ingram, and Diggs.

      Use TG and MI while they are healthy and the main RB, my thought with Diggs, si the team paid a first rounder for him, may want to get him going quick vs the puny J-E-T-S

  20. ↓ Post By MikeVegas

    Good Morning Byron, From enjoying several of the pics you 3 post, you are surrounded by a lot of talent on your scouting expeditions.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Oh man, getting all these awesome photos on the road for RWNation has been one of the best parts for me!!

  21. ↓ Post By FrankGrimes

    So James Robinson is last this week?
    Trashmans Lazy Ass List is what this should be called.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      We’re going to have to fix that!!!! Get James Robinson up a least a little bit Trashman!!!!

  22. ↓ Post By keith.haney6573@gmail.com

    Do I play Lockett or pick up D. Jackson and play him with the Eagles WRs so depleted?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Lockett!! Don’t overthink it!

    2. ↓ Post By Ron

      I’m going with D. Jackson and Metcalf

  23. ↓ Post By Longhornfireman

    Standard format right now I lean toward Ruggs over A. Cooper for WR two this week. I know Cooper is higher rated, but I still question his health a little. What do you guys think?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Agree- and HATE his matchup vs an alpha CB

  24. ↓ Post By Cysplash@gmail.com

    Hey guys. 0.5 ppr.
    Need 2 of the 3
    OBJ, Hollywood Brown, Keenan Allen.
    Also need a QB, Rivers or Baker?
    Thanks

  25. ↓ Post By poddsquad

    golladay a go or game time decision options are j landry or aj green .5 ppr

  26. ↓ Post By Sushi

    Doubtful for Golladay and also have Sutton.

    Started Fuller yesterday and need two more WRs. Currently have Ruggs and Reagor only. Should I drop Reagor for likes of N’Keal Harry, Shanault, Ross III to name a few?

  27. ↓ Post By John Hunsberger

    With Evans and KG going down I need upside in my lineup .. should I roll with hurst or gronk ? .5 ppr

  28. ↓ Post By Bigmanmike

    Golladay is likely a no go. Who of the three is my strongest option.
    J Brown,
    Diontae Johnson
    D Slayton
    Thank you

  29. ↓ Post By Ron

    How does this sheet work?

  30. ↓ Post By Ron

    I’m going with D. Jackson and Metcalf

  31. ↓ Post By Daryl

    Love Trashman’s Flex Rankings, trying not to bastardize it . . . my 2nd favorite Wisconsin Badger over Marlon Mack?

  32. ↓ Post By Brian

    In a big auction draft tomorrow, with all the data over last 48 hours any advice? Pay up for Helaire?

  33. ↓ Post By Rick

    Sorry, hopefully too late. Stuck on WR3 decision… start AJ Green vs LAC or Jerry Jeudy vs TEN?

  34. ↓ Post By Sanchez

    Hey Trashman & RW Nation, need one for my FLEX (1PPR):
    *Hollywood Brown
    *DeSean Jackson
    *Jonathan Taylor
    *Zach Moss
    *James Robinson

  35. ↓ Post By mark51schichtel@gmail.com

    Who should I start in a super flex league Trubisky or Tannehill?

  36. ↓ Post By born2beast

    Got 19.8 from CEH but facing a CMC led squad.
    Dimes or Burrow for 2nd QB spot? Or drop 1 of them to add Tyrod Tayler but it is a keeper league so really don’t want to do that since one of those two will be my QB keeper next year.
    Pick 1 WR and 1 flex: Woods, Djax, White, or Gibson in ppr?

    Ok in another league Edelmam, Djax, Akers, or Gibson pick 2 in .5ppr?

    Finally, in a 3rd league Boston scott or dionte Johnson in ppr?

  37. ↓ Post By Eaglesphil

    Hey Rosterwatch!
    Having trouble deciding between the following TE’s. Start one, no PPR:
    Jonnu Smith
    Ian Thomas
    OJ Howard
    Greg Olsen

  38. ↓ Post By Burchoi

    I need 3 RB’s out of these: Mixon, Jacobs, Ingram, White, or Mack.
