Eddie,

I never count on Burleson. He burns you every time you really need him. Barber sounds like a good option with Forte gone, but even without 7 catches, Hernandez is a Red Zone threat every game. I'd go with Hernandez. Good luck.

Hells Satans, I guess I'm going back to D.Jax and his feast or famine production. Cooper was a nice surprise. I hope one of the Philly WR's go on a Charlie Sheen weekend and get suspended so this decisions is easier for me next week.

Even if Maclin doesn't play, the switch back to Vick is going to hurt Cooper and help DJax. If Maclin does play, Cooper will be the WR4 not the WR3. Cooper won't take snaps away from Avant in the slot; Cooper is strictly an outside guy.

I'm pretty sure Cooper has never caught a pass with Vick at QB. Also, despite his targets the last few weeks, Cooper is an awful WR. Other than being tall, he has zero skills. [/QUOTE]I'll take your word for it. Maybe Cooper is just a guy that fits in a perfect situation when Young is in. I've started him the last 2 weeks over D.Jax and didn't miss a beat but as the QB changes, so does the hot hand at wr.

Thanks guys , it's a tough call .It's just like lets make a deal,Curtain one and the safest is Burelson,Curtain two is Hernandez,and behind curtain three with the most upside is Barber.

Damn i might have to go with the Diesal reverse move and do the oppisite of Hernandez.That leaves the other two.

Decision #1

Flex & TE (Need to start 2 of 3)
Dwayne Bowe - Vs Jets (Revis)
Ed Dickson - Vs Indy
Jake Ballard - Vs Dallas

Decision #2

WR
Gafney Vs New England
or
Torrey Smith vs Indy

Gafney Vs New England
or
Torrey Smith vs Indy I might actually go with boh tight ends> Bowe might get 2 catches for 24 yards.

Gafney is call 2. Ravens might not run up the score. Pats will win a shoot out.

Hahaha. Lol. I agree Eddie. That's the advice I've given this season about my advice. I'm still saying Burleson is your 3rd choice because the guy can not be counted on. I drafted him in the late 2nd round or early 3rd round years ago, when Randy Moss left Minnesota and Burleson was going to be the stud WR for the Vikings. I'll never forget what a flop he was. He's killed owners every year since. As soon as you need him, he will hit you with a 1 catch for 7 yards performance.

Good luck.

Depends, for the first 11 weeks or the last two?

Either way, thanks for the advice Bud.

[/QUOTE]People have short memories. It's all about what have you done for me lately.

Another way to look at is what QB do you trust? And don't even say Sanchez.....

Pettigrew is not explosive enough in a 3 week shootout.

Eli in a shootout on Sunday night where they won't be able to run the ball. Stop wearing a condom when doing your lineups. Don't play it safe for a change

[/QUOTE]The question is for this week only and not for all 3 weeks. We play matchups in this game and the Detroit offense has the best of it this week.

WR
Gafney Vs New England
or
Torrey Smith vs Indy With both Giants RBs banged up, you could flex Ballard in a shootout. Dickson may be blocking more as the Ravens are running a lot. If you buy that, then Torrey Smith probably won't catch as many as Gaffney will - especially with Fred Davis out.

[/QUOTE]You can play your matchups all you want. Pettigrew has not gone over 40 yards for the last 6 weeks. Plus the Vikings have actually have been pretty good against TE's.

I also think you missed the point when I said "a 3 week shootout". I understand the question was for this week. My point was that he has not been good or explosive enough to play in a 3 week shootout whether it's this week or next week or the following week.
