0 Subject: Week 5...who to start?

Posted by: sarge33rd

My turn...

Starting WRs WERE:

A Boldin
R Curry
R Brown

Obviously....Brown has been dropped, Curry is on bye and Boldin is "Doubtful"

Waiver wire and draft have given me these to work with:

D Bowe
Demetrius Williams
B Johnson (AZs #3 WR with Boldin out)

I need to starat 2, and am leaning toward

Bowe: despite a tough matchup this week, he appears to be the better of the 3 in raw ability/opportunities.

Williams: Seems to get more looks than Johnson got last week BUT, Johnson has a WEAK D opposing him this week, and thus the dilemma.

As for how "minor" the difference between the two (Williams or Johnson) is likely to be, I won a game in this league last week, by 1 point, and my per game avg score is 191.125 pts. So the margin of error, is likely quite little.

and more

According to Washington Post staffer Jason La Canfora, the Redskins have declared Santana Moss (groin) inactive for today's game against the Lions.

James Thrash will line up as the starter opposite Antwaan Randle El (ahead of Brandon Lloyd) in Moss' absence.

It's also worth noting that newcomers Keenan McCardell and Reche Caldwell are both active. Reports out of Washington earlier this week suggested both may be asked to contribute today.

Isaac Bruce is out and Bennett is starting as well.

sarge - how about this Urban guy for AZ? He got more looks than Johnson last week.

still more

All hands on deck for the Giants in today's game against the Jets. ... Plaxico Burress (ankle) in active and will start in what is clearly a favorable matchup (see previous update).

Derrick Ward is also active and expected to work in relief of starter Brandon Jacobs, who is coming off a sprained knee suffered in the regular-season opener.

While it remains to be seen how the workload is divided on a regular basis, there is no doubt Ward has earned significant playing time. But he has been limited by a sore ankle this week and New York Daily News staffer Rich Cimini suggested earlier this week his role against the Jets could be somewhat limited, too.

I have Owens and Randy Moss as my first two. My third is the choice between:

Stallworth,
Engram,
Roddy White,
Bennett.

I am leaning to either Stallworth or Engram. I sat Engram last week and regreted it. I think with the injuries in the PIT. secondary, Engram may benefit. But Stallworth is receiving passes from Brady, and last week he had his best week with him. Thanks for the help in advance.
