Which flex guy would you start?
I need a RB/WR to start this week, and I have a couple good options:
Brandon Jacobs vs. Cowboys
Ryan Torain vs. Eagles
Ochocinco @ Colts
Mike Goodson (new starting RB for Panthers) vs. Buccaneers
I was leaning towards Torain, as he is a RB1, but he is listed as questionable and playing Philly.
I kinda like the Jacobs matchup, as the Cowboys have been stinking it up lately.
Ocho is probably #4 on the list as he has only had 1-2 big weeks.
Goodson could be a sleeper, as the Bucs give up a lot of yards on the ground, and he's the guy, with Jackson and Stewart out.
What do you think? Thanks in advance for your advice.

I think it's between Torain and Jacobs. Not enough info about Goodson to give him the nod and Ochocinco has been awful this season.
If Torain is indeed healthy enough to start, you could go with him if you're comfortable waiting until the Monday night game. If he's a last minute scratch, you could be screwed.
Jacobs had 12 carries for 75 yds and a TD just 3 weeks ago vs. DAL and that was in DAL. Bradshaw got the 2 goal line carries (and scored both times) last week though. Goal line opportunities were part of what made Jacobs so valuable prior to that.
Tough call, but with Torain's injury question and the fact WASH plays Monday night...I'd go Jacobs if I were you.

*i think you meant Dwill and Stewart out.
nay to ocho simply because he's just too inconsistent this year and all the balls going to T.O.
nay to torain against a good philly run defense, also he has a hammi injury which is a bad sign for running back, also portis might be back, also cause keliand williams shows great potential.
i'd start either goodson or jacobs.
i'd lean towards jacobs just because of experience and the fact that they're at home.
goodson is playing away, lacks experience, has a rookie qb, and might be playing from behind so less running opportunities but he catches the ball well (has 17 receptions already in limited touches)
50/50

You start Torain if he plays. Keep an eye on that because Portis may be back this week. If not you start jacobs.
