PRO Trashman’s Week 6 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 Keep in mind, these are not our official RosterWatch Week 6 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 weekend’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 6’s Sunday and Monday slate shaking out – as his inputs to our formula are a key (albeit smelly and gross) component. (Based on .5 PPR scoring).

    We trusting Snead this week?

    1. ↓ Post By eyak29

      I wouldn’t even though the match up is juicy. As of now it’s unclear how much he will play

  2. ↓ Post By Dsummitt15@sbcglobal.net

    I checked out the rankings which I believe are .5 ppr. I play in a standard scoring league and just wanted to know if I should still start Kamara > Buck allen this week?

    1. ↓ Post By eyak29

      You can flip between standard and ppl on the rankings

      1. ↓ Post By Dsummitt15@sbcglobal.net

        How can I switch between standard and PPR in the rankings? didnt see the option

        1. ↓ Post By Dsummitt15@sbcglobal.net

    Jordan Howard
    Elijah McGuire

    Thank you!

  4. ↓ Post By HuntN4BeastMode

    ROS J Charles, J. Allen or Smallwood?

  5. ↓ Post By RockyCrab

    Jordy Nelson or Landry PPR. I know Nelson is a must start but I’m worried

    1. ↓ Post By RockyCrab

      Or Pryor

    Does this trade work for my team? Thanks guys

    Deagsdan

    1. ↓ Post By HuntN4BeastMode

      You got no depth at RB and a ton of receivers. How can you make that trade. One injury and your up a creek without a RB

      1. ↓ Post By Deagsdan

        fair point, thats why Im asking. I’m 1-4 and am looking to play for next year

        1. ↓ Post By eyak29

          Can’t give up a first if your already playing for next year

            Thank you guys for being cool members of RWNation and helping each other out!

    So I dropped my te and kicker to be able to grab both Morris and McFadden once I read the news. Had Cam, Benjamin and Jeffries play already and it looks like it’s gonna be a tight week. So I’m gonna have to drop 2 bench players at some point. I’m dropping perine tomorrow so no one can play him but after that I’m stuck. Need to start one and drop one (unless I’m doing good enough where I can punt the kicker)
    Aaron Jones (even with ty)
    Chris Thompson (i think he will play alot)
    J.Charles
    David Johnson
    M.mack
    McFadden
    Morris

    Thanks guys.

    Pryor or T. Coleman? 1 PPR

    Got Pryor plugged in now but flex rankings got Coleman and Pryor right next to each other. I know these rankings are based on .5 ppr. Just double checking if I should switch it or stick with Pryor. Thanks gents!!!

    Looks like the Trashman likes ASJ over Reed? Struggling with who to start at TE, Reed vs SF or ASJ vs NE?

    1. ↓ Post By eyak29

      Trust the disgusting trashman

        Puke.

    Hello RW!
    10 team 0.5 pt PPR
    QB Newton
    RB D Freeman, CJ Anderson, D Martin, A Kamara
    WR AJ Green, K Allen, D Baldwin, D Funchess, W Fuller
    TE Engram

    Zeke owner wants to trade Zeke and Diggs for Freeman. Seems like a winner to me but it makes me thin at RB if Zeke is out for 6 weeks. What are your thoughts? Looking forward to the garbage grab. Thx

    1. ↓ Post By eyak29

      You should be fine at rb with Anderson, Martin, and kamara. Not really sure the move helps your team though.

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        Thx Eyak!

  11. ↓ Post By autumnhunter33

    I have Diggs should I pick up Floyd-Wright-Treadwell or Stills?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Floyd, w/ Wright being the ultra trashman option that is actually kind of sneaky. With Parker out, I feel more comfortable with Stills than all of them.

  12. ↓ Post By pattyboo

    Would drop d’onte for jamal charles?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Yes

    Hey guys I need 2 of 4 for flex spot in a PPR league. Thielen, Kamara, Martin, or Buck Allen? Thanks much!

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      See what Trashman thinks! Tough to bench any of those guys, bunch of great options. Tough for me to sit Buck Allen.

      Then, I think the safe play is Martin. If you’re more of gambling man or woman who likes to get a little bit tricky- Kamara and Thielen have real boom potential in PPR.

      Determine which type of player you are, then- refer to the matchup tool, refer to our composition staff rankings, and refer to Trashman’s flex rankings to help sort it out.

      1. ↓ Post By MondayNightMayhem

        Thanks for the insight. Its a tough call but much better than trash options!

  14. ↓ Post By MondayNightMayhem

    Now with a team name! Record is 3 and 2

    Hey guys I need 2 of 4 for flex spot in a PPR league. Thielen, Kamara, Martin, or Buck Allen? Thanks much!

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      see above- thanks MondayNight

    2. ↓ Post By Sam

      With Diggs out, you almost have to start Thielen. Then I’d go Allen, but I hate sitting Martin.

  15. ↓ Post By debatime1@yahoo.com

    Yes this is a real question… 16 team league..
    Jay Cutler or Kevin Hogan.

  16. ↓ Post By kkisell@courtsplus.org

    .5 pt ppr. Need 1 rb: A Jones or Lynch? 1 wr: Hill or Fuller? Flex: Jones/Lynch or Hill/Fuller? Thanks guys!

    1. ↓ Post By Dustin

      I’d run w/ your two rb’s, and Hill as your 1 WR

    2. ↓ Post By Sam

      Start Lynch and Hill, but I’d only start Jones if Ty Montgomery is still out. If Montgomery is back, and I think it’s likely, who knows how that committee shakes out. Fuller has a good match up and nice upside.

  17. ↓ Post By Dustin

    Mike Evans vs. Ari (Patrick Peterson I’m thinking will shadow him)
    OR
    Randal Cobb vs. Min (Don’t expect Rhodes nor Waynes covering him)
    1 pt PPR.

    1. ↓ Post By Sam

      I think Terrance Newman covers Cobb in the slot so another tough match up. I’d probably just go with talent and start Evans.

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

    One flex question: Crabtree or Chris Thompson.

    1. ↓ Post By Dustin

      Wow! Talk about a decision. I’d lean Crabtree. I feel the game will be more of a shoot out than the Way vs. SF game. So likelihood of seeing it being a passing game, then a running game, seems better.

    Black Unicorns 3-2

    I’m torn, especially after the Trashman’s flex rankings! All my guys are rated really close.

    Half point PPR.

    I need a RB, WR, and a flex out of these guys. M. Lynch, McKinnon, Garcon, D Jax.

    1. ↓ Post By Sam

      Tough choice.
      Ranked by Vegas TD prop
      Lynch 10/11
      McKinnon 5/4
      Garçon 3/2
      Djax 17/10

      I’d start Lynch and McKinnon (esp with Diggs out), then probably DJax over Garcon. It’s close but DJax has a better WR/CB match up by Pro Football Focus.

  20. ↓ Post By Brianobarad@gmail.com

    Why so high on Lynch and so down on Kamara, was feeling Kamara but not until I saw your rankings in a Ppr?

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      raiders/chargers is the highest point total of the week according to vegas. i do like kamara, i’ll probably move him up.

  21. ↓ Post By nwissehr@msn.com

    Standard scoring. Jj nelson or ginn?

  22. ↓ Post By jebarnett70@yahoo.com

    Why in the world is Keenan Allen (who I own) ranked nineteen in Flex? He and Rivers have horrible records vs Denver.

    Doctors on, Hunter Henry, Evan Engram all ranked far below. Why????

    I see no logical data or history driven reason for this. Would t you start one of Doctson, Engram, Henry above Allen in a Stabdard league?

  23. ↓ Post By jebarnett70@yahoo.com

    HHENRY, EEngram, DDoctson, or K Allen. You have Allen ranked far higher when Denver has historically killed Allen and Rivers? Why? Who to start and out in Flex
