This is a rough list of some players who I think/know are gonna be available middish-late (please don't debate this, there are some noobs I play with). I have had trouble here in the past and want to shore some things up

Assuming I have 2 rbs (Edge/ D.Davis)and 2 wrs (C.Johnson/ R.Wayne) and am looking at a flex and backups, this is how I roughly see these 2ish players.

QUESTION: Am I really off in any spots or is there anybody here to avoid.


1 jerry porter
2 larry johnson
3 chris chambers
4 l. fitzgerald
5 justin macereins
6 ronnie brown
7 jj arrington
8 cedric benson
9 derek mason
10 anquain boldin
11 muhsin muhhamed


12 lee evans
13 plaxico burress
14 ashley lelie
15 eddie kennison
16 tatum bell
17 I bruce
18 rod smith
19 roy williams
20 steve smith
21 jimmy smith

22 tj hush
23 deshaun foster
24 m. moore
25 tj. duckett
26 mike anderson
27 j. bettis


thanks

If you're shopping for a flex spot, you want a starter and a regular producer. Therefore, you probably want to nail down a running back, if possible. I would avoid the following:
L. Johnson (unless you have Priest), Chambers(bad offense), McCariens(2nd or 3rd opt), Mason(Boller), Evans(Losman), Burress(injured Manning), Lelie(underperformer), Kennison (bad attitude/underperformer), Bruce (too many weapons), Houshmandzadeh (falling out of favor), Moore(platoon), Duckett(platoon), and Bettis(old/platoon).

Of the remaining options, I would probably favor the young RB's -- R. Brown, Arringotn, Benson, Bell, Foster, etc.
