Not sure who I should start at flex... Bush who plays Vikings... Wes welker who plays Cincinnati.... or Felix jones who plays redskins.... Could use some input plz???
As u say its about points an Welker has outscored how many rb's the past couple years.As I said welker had 162 in fantasy points in standard scoring leagues.So 162 in standard scoring leagues made him the #31 player overall in scoring.Hows that make him a ppr guy.Sure he had more points in ppr.But being the 31 overall best scorer in standard leagues made him the #12 overall wr.That is wr #1 status.Jones has been injured to.With Barber's running style if they reduce his carries some he may return to form an be the starter.Jones seems fragile to me an i dont see him as a every down back.An u can laugh at choice but he does get some carries.Plus the Dallas run game this preseason has been very bad.I'm not saying Jones wont be a good fantasy guy.I just dont see it.If u go by the rankings or draft position on this site cincys d isnt all that high on the list.I know they did good last year>I picked them up in a league off waivers.But they r a young d an that was there first descent d in awhile.
pro-football-reference.com I was going off of this sites lists.They say standard scoring.But u r right the Flea eligible scoring is a bit different.Im guessing.I use Pro-football-refernce just for looking at ff stats as u can go back for years.Its a useful tool Imo.

Your numbers are a bit off (based upon flea-eligible scoring, which is the standard here), but your argument is spot on.
Welker's numbers -
185.4 points. Number 9 WR and number 52 overall.
Keep in mind, he missed weeks 2 and 3 and got hurt in week 17. He was ranked that high in a non-ppr league and only really played 13 games.
Felix's numbers -
97.4 points. Number 40 overall RB and number 204 overall.
Felix did miss weeks 4 and 5, but played 14 games.
So, who would you rather have start, a guy who averages about 7 points per game or a guy who averages over 14 a game?

Either way, your numbers plus the flea numbers clearly show Welker is a better option than Jones.

Agreed.
