I've got 1 pickup left in my home league. My tight ends are Gates and Celek. I've been holding my own even with starting Celek the last few weeks, but I've decided to burn my last pickup on a tight end.

Who do you guys like more for the next 5 weeks? Joel Dreesen or Jimmy Graham?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance. I like them both and if Walker from San Fran is aviable like him even a little more with Vernon dinged up and sucking.

Eli Manning or Shaun Hill
Deion Branch or Mike Williams [Tampa]

Thanks in advance. Considering the situations of Daniels & Shockey I wouldn't want to depend on either of them. With Gates on my bench I simply deal with Celek for another week or two and ride Gates for the playoffs. I certainly don't want Graham given the fact Shockey is going to play again this coming week. Dreesen may have 1 week of value and get you through to Gates being back? I'd find another way to spend that last pickup than burning a 1 week questionable Celek upgrade TE to bridge to the return of the best TE in the game.

Of course, all of this is assuming you're in your league's playoffs - if it's a question of even making it I'd burn the pick on Dreesen for 1 week value and go for it.

Give me Deion Branch vs. Detroit - 7 receptions for 97 yards and a TD.

[/QUOTE]Yeah I have about an 85% chance of making the playoffs at this point. I'm sort of thin at QB (Peyton and Kitna) and WR (Calvin, Austin, Mike Wallace, Lee Evans, Big Mike Williams, Danario) so waiting on the last pickup makes some sense.

I just really really hate Celek and I hate that I'm going to have to start him again this week....

It doesn't sound like his injury is getting any better despite resting the past few weeks.

Matt Forte vs Philly or...

Keiland Williams vs Minnesota.

Keiland Williams vs Minnesota. Wow, yuck... give me Keiland but flip a coin and blame the coin.

Both have a little pass catching ability but I trust McNabb to make a little more breathing room than Cutler who could get sacked 10 times if he even survives the first half.
