Pick 2 WR and a flex (W/R)
Cruz@phi
Bowe vs. SD
Barden @Phi
Crabtree @NYJ
Tate vs Ten

Also, I have both Cruz and Nicks on this team. Am I putting too much trust in the Giants or should I be ok keeping them both.

Umm against gb's top rated pass defense? I like not.

The choice is between Deangelo and Fred Davis.

I like both plays for certain reasons and you usually play a rb over a receiver, but Davis has a GREAT matchup this week. Tampa's d is stout against the run and they will get after you, but if you get the ball to the second level they are horrendous.

The play is Fred Davis and it ain't close. Though, last year, Deangelo broke an 87 yarder against these same Falcons. And deangelo is an AP clone when it comes to upright running style and ap went for 2 scores in week one. Davis also has been a fantasy dud for most of the season until last week. So, it is close. But I still think Davis is the play.

GB's top rated pass defense is due to Clay Matthews making Cutler his girlfriend in week 2. GB-NO is going to be a shootout, and Moore is always a favorite target next to Graham for Brees.

I can't believe you are even making a case for DeAngelo. He hasn't been good since his fluke 17 TD season. So DeAngelo is lesser Adrian Peterson, right? lulz

EDIT: check that, DeAngelo is about to show the world he's on AP's level

Cruz, Bowe, Barden. If you want to gamble on garbage time rushing stats, Tate for Barden.

Giants over the long haul may be good, but week-to-week one of Cruz or Nicks (usually Nicks) will get the lesser stats. If you can get something good for Nicks pull the trigger.

I'd go with Bush.

The Eagles run defense has been pretty stout through 3 games. They have allowed one rushing touchdown and besides 1-2 big rushing plays per game have held the other teams in check. Forte is still hurting and I'd bet if the Bears have it inside the 10 he isn't going to be the one getting the carries.

Ramses Barden or D. Moore? I'm leaning Moore. On a side note - Garcon worth playing this week if he goes or does he need some time to get up to speed?

I need one and stumped....

Brandon LaFell vs. Falcons - Thinking this could be a shootout and the Falcons will focus on Smith. But, ATL does have a good DEF and haven't allowed very much to opposing WRs

Nate Washington vs. Texans - With Britt out seems he will get the targets and he has a good rapport with Locker BUT that means he will be covered by Joseph. Doesn't seem like a good matchup.

Jerome Simpson vs. Lions - Weary of using him since it's his first game but Lions DEF is atrocious.

I can also pick up Hankerson (WAS) against TB but Garcon will play some today.

LeShoure or Fred Jackson? Both dinged up. Rank Ryan Williams in there too just for fun.

At wide receiver this week, who do I put my faith in.

WR (pick 2):

The Good Match Up Guys

Mike Williams vs Washington
Washington is giving up the most receiving tds (10) and the 2nd most yards per game (337). And while Williams has very few catches this year, he has been Freeman's #2 target behind VJ. Problem is, I loathe Josh Freeman with a passion. If anybody can screw this game up, he can.

Mario Manningham Vs Jets
Interesting stat: as bad as people think mario manningham is, last week he caught all of his passes thrown his way, total of 5, and sits just 1 catch behind Vernon Davis for 2nd on the team in catches. This week manningham gets a 3rd string db Kyle Wilson. On paper, a good matchup, but of course, when you play with Manningham you play with fire. Last year, when Nicks was inactive, Manningham took over, and stunk it up. Instead that game launched the Victor Cruz show. Fantasy rules to live by: If you can't have fantasy success with Eli, you ain't doing something right, which is to say, I'm leery of the play here.

James Jones vs New Orleans
James Jones has my attention. I was burned by him in week 2, and I initially wrote him off this week. Then I began to look at his stats a little deeper. One thing jumps clearly out: James Jones is tied for 3rd in targets (19), tied for 3rd in Receptions (11) and 2nd in yardage (135) with a td. Had he caught that gimme td in week 1, he'd sit atop the tds on the team by wrs with 2 and would have had 3 double digit fantasy weeks. All of this is very interesting to me. The only downside to this is his reception % is fairly low, but he did catch 5 of 6 passes last week.

The #1 Wrs on Bad Offensive Teams

Golden Tate @ St. Louis
There is a lot of bad karma with this game. Tate coming out and saying that he thought the bogus catch was a good reception and seattle going into St. Louis, who has a pretty stout Rams pass defense. I could see Jeff Fisher making so moves to confuse Russell Wilson. But Wilson HAS to throw it to somebody, right? Tate could get a score simply by that fact alone.

The Phenoms in Bad Match ups

Andrew Hawkins @ Jacksonville
So, Hawkins has been my #3 (really #2) fantasy wideout next to Percy Havin and Larry Fitzgerald. However, it took a 50 yard pass play against the worst passing d in the league last week to make him a good play. Hawkins rarely saw the ball come to him and it looks as if Cinny is giving Hawkins or or 2 shots at the most a game downfield. So far, he's capitalized on them, but this might be the week to back off and go for better match ups.
