Which Wide Receiver to start?

We start 2 Wide Receivers: I plan on starting Hines Ward but am struggling between:
 
Darrell Jackson, who has been solid but not spectacular
 
or  
 
Andre Johnson of the Texans, who just seems to get better every week.

unless you think that the Rams will take a big lead against the Hawks, which would result in Matt throwing more in this game in lue of handing it off to Shawn who will wear down the Rams front 7 (they have a couple of LBs banged up), then, I would go with Johnson.
 
The Vikes have the ability to make this a catch up game and that would spell nice things for Carr to air it out even though, Johnson will be matched up against top CB Winfield of the Vikes (who can be burned especially since the Vikes pass rush has been next to non existent of late).
 
Keep in mind though that Minny doesn't blitz that much which allows their LBs & DBs to stay in coverage thus all but eliminating most one on one matchups. Still Johnson should exploit Minny's secondary.

That is a tough one. Djax  has steadier numbers thru 3 games, but the lack of td's is a real pain. If you get points for receptions, I think the advantage goes to him.
 
Andre has the slightly weaker opponent and the 2 td's, but I, just gotta stick with Jackson's higher output in receptions. That has to translate into td's at some point, right?

I agree with KKS, plus Johnson has a size advantage over Winfield.  I also think this game can turn into a shoot out.

Yup, Johnson vs my mighty Vikes.  He should be good for almost a hundred + a TD.

Flip a coin...  Jackson.  I think that this intra-division game is going to be a highly-contested, high-scoring affair.  Jackson will break the endzone in this affair.  I am expecting a bit of a letdown from the Texans this week, actually.

A-John = 12-170 yds, 2 TDs.
D-Jax = 5-91 yds, 1 TD.

I DID start Andre Johnson, but should've started Darrell Jackson instead of Hines Ward.
 
So is Andre Johnson about to become the next Randy Moss?
