Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Ryan Torain and 3 Insane Flex Plays

It's that time of the year when bye weeks start to kick in and you have to play some guys whom you just picked up off the waiver wire.

There have been some quality players available over the past few weeks including Ryan Torain, Jackie Battle, Eric Decker and Doug Baldwin, so which free-agent acquisitions make for terrific flex plays this week?

Ryan Torain (RB, Washington Redskins)

The Washington Redskins have not announced which RB will start against the Philadelphia Eagles this week, but after Torain's performance two weeks ago against the St. Louis Rams, you should expect him to get plenty of carries.

The Philadelphia Eagles have one of the worst run defenses in the NFL, so Torain is bound to put up yards this week.

James Starks (RB, Green Bay Packers)

Deciding between Starks and Ryan Grant has been a weekly decision for fantasy owners, but Starks certainly has more upside than Grant at this point.

The Packers face the worst run defense in the NFL this week in the St. Louis Rams, so Starks should have every opportunity in the world to impress in this game.

He is a terrific flex play, with enough upside to be considered a lock as a No. 2 RB this week.

Darren Sproles (RB, New Orleans Saints)

The Saints this week take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are coming off a thrashing against the San Francisco 49ers.

He picked up an increased workload on the ground last week, as he registered 11 carries, and also caught five passes.

Expect him to get more than 15 touches again this week against a team that is struggling on the defensive side of the ball right now.
