RB Question

I have in one of my rookie leagues 3 RB in the Team.
Its a 14th team league and the Lineup is QB, RB, flex (RB/WR/TE), WR, WR, TE, K, DST.

My starting RB will be Morris this week. The question is about the flex.
For this position I have Spiller and Gore available.

Spiller is off the injury report and has shown that he is back after the rest week when he was out. gore is normally a Stud RB this season.

But Spiller with the form of the last week plays vs one of the worst run defenses this year (steelers) and Gore plays vs a very good run defense (panthers).

Who would you start? I asked MTS already and I thank him for the answer, but he said himself it is a tough decision this week. So I like to hear some more opinions.

I'd play it safe and go Morris/Gore, as you don't know the split of carries in the Buffalo backfield, Jackson has shown he still deserves a fair share.

Spiller has the potential to get big points, or just get 4-5 - Morris and Gore are more likely in my opinion to bag a safe 8-12

I'd suggest Morris / Spiller.

Reasoning: Gore is going up against Carolina and has a mildly banged up ankle (probable). But mainly because of the D ... #1 rush D in the league, 79 yd/g.

Spiller is finally 100% healthy, GM is talking about he's excited to get him more touches, and especially where they're facing Pittsburgh ... #31 rush D in the league, 131 yd/g.

I recommend seeing who's available on the waiver wire.

Morris is a solid play, but Gore is overrated and playing against a good run defense and Spiller shares time with FJax, who tends to get more of the goalline runs over Spiller.

Spiller just put up 12 for 116 rushing, 2 for 37 receiving on KC's defense.

Even w/FJax getting his touches, I expect to see some serious damage done by Spiller.

Spiller is skilled, I don't doubt that. But, he's injury prone and shares touches with another good runner. Hopefully he wasn't started: at this point he only has 27 yards from scrimmage.

He may be better next week against the Jets.
