Often 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 weekly flex rankings in order to make the process much easier. Keep in mind, these are not our official RosterWatch Week 2 rankings, but we’ve learned over time to pay extra-special attention to what the Trashman might have up his filthy sleeve – and where he stacks up players against one another for the coming week’s slate cross-positionally.

Our OFFICIAL rankings page here on the site will continue to be updated through the day Saturday and Sunday morning as more information comes in and we become more comfortable with player slotting. In the meantime, have a look at how the Trashman sees Week 2’s slate shaking out as his inputs to our formula are a key (albeit smelly and gross) component.

    Capernick or wilson this week at qb? I know majority says roll with wilson….gut says cap. Hope u can shed a little light.

      Wilson, can’t trust Kaep heading that far east, we have to see more before not starting Wilson in a big game vs. GB IMO. GL

      i like kaepo, but i’m thinking they’ll go heavy on the run with hyde. i like wilson and the probability that they’ll have to score a lot to win.

    I have Crowell and K. Williams. I see that you have Crowell way higher than Williams but I feel like Williams is the trashier play here as Rex Ryan is a true ground and pound coach and McCoy seems like he may have to share a butt load of touches cause of his bum hammy. What do you say about dat Trashman?

      mccoy is a full go today, so i’d reluctantly go with crowell.

    If you’re ranking Carlos Hyde well above Joseph Randle, why in the world do you have him on your DFS sheet with Randle above Hyde? I’m starting to get really confused on these rankings you guys keep putting out. Carlos Hyde is the same price or cheaper on DFS than Randle. I’m not sure if it’s the inconsistency of more than one person doing these rankings or what… but as a pro member, I’d like to know that a ranking you guys are putting out is consistent across the board.

      Because these are trashman’s personal flex rankings as explicitly stated in the post above. As mentioned in the post, please always refer to the rankings tab for our group composite/computer rankings. They are updated through Sunday morning and kickoff. The rankings linked in this column are an input in those final rankings, and meant to give an idea of what the trashman is thinking as many are interested in his thoughts. We’re sorry about any confusion this has caused but this is the way it’s always been. People wanna know what the trashman is thinking.

      Also, please note that Randle is not ranked higher in the DFS cheat sheet, they are in the same $$ tier and ordered by DK salary. I actually think Hyde is a better play value-wise. – However, his %-ownership is likely to be thru the roof. Anyway, just a note to remember about DFS sheet. The players in the same tier of step 1 are basically interchangable by $-level and usually just ordered by DK pricing.

        Ah, I assumed it was like the draft cheat sheet and it went from top to bottom. Thanks. This is the first season I’ve been here so I’m not as familiar with the ins and outs yet!

    I need a RB, WR and FLEX out of these 5 Gore, Abdullah, Latavius Murray, Brandon Marshall, and Stevie Johnson. I’m concerned about both Murray’s and Marshall’s match up. Ravens D just shuts down RBs and Vonte Davis will be on Marshall all game. Who should I pick?

    1. ↓ Post By Dorian Colbert

      abdullah, marshall – i think they will have to throw a ton because they’ll be behind.

    Should I put D.Hopkins in instead C.Ivory in a flex spot, non-PPR? I’m worried about Ivory’s “limited” practice on Saturday and it being a Monday night game. Of course, I could wait and replace Ivory with either F.Gore or B.Marshall on Monday. Thoughts?

    1. ↓ Post By Dorian Colbert

      absoluetely. can’t go wrong with hopkins.

  7. ↓ Post By Naychi

    I need help with my flex,
    Do I roll the dice with Ivory being ques, or do I go Garçon, or maybe Terrance Willams?
    Thx for your help in advance

    1. ↓ Post By Dorian Colbert

      i like garcon a lot this week, especially if it’s a ppr.

  8. ↓ Post By rw-LN2RRfv3C

    Ppr, what u think of legarrette Blount or tj yeldon?

  9. ↓ Post By Nederhoff15

    Standard league. Big Ben or Bradford this week. And for a flex question. Jordan Cameron, joesph randle, boldin. Thanks

  10. ↓ Post By tigers62

    Which would you rather have on your bench (PPR) for backup purposes, T.Williams, B.Coleman, or S.Smith?

    1. ↓ Post By Dorian Colbert

      williams would be my pick. dez could be out ten weeks or more now

    10 Team PPR

    (1) QB: Rivers
    (3) WR: Julio Jones, Hopkins, D. Adams (Stevie Johnson)
    (2) RB: Ingram, Abdullah (Spiller, T. Mason, Vereen, Ellington*)
    (1) TE: J. Reed
    (1) FLEX: D. Martin
    Bench total : (5)
    IR: Dez Bryant*

    Hey guys two questions!

    1. I need some help deciding who to start tomorrow in my 10 team PPR league! I believe based on your rankings I have it set it right. I’d like to be confident this lineup is Trashman approved but I don’t know if PPR does or doesn’t factor into his personal rankings?

    I keep swapping around Martin @NO, Adams vs. SEA, and Stevie Johnson @CIN around my FLEX and WR3 spots but you guys are the experts so let me know what I should do!

    2. Should I be dropping anyone to pick up Brandon Coleman?

    Notable FAs include:

    RB: D. Freeman, Duke Johnson, C. Johnson, Karlos Williams, K. Davis, Sims, D. Robinson, F. Jackson, Matt Jones, K. Robinson, C. Artis-Payne, M. Ball

    WR: Royal, B. Coleman, Moncrief, Cotchery, Hurns, Beasley, T. Austin, Perriman, Funchess

      if gurley doesn’t play i’d start mason at rb and put abdullah in the flex. i don’t know if i’d drop any of those guys for coleman right now

  12. ↓ Post By icepick16

    I have AP, hill, forsett, latsvius, abdullah. Being offered Terrance Williams for abdullah. 10 team standard. Good trade?
