Coles or Burleson

I am definitely starting Chad Johnson. I need to figure out the other WR to start. In my league, we do not get any points for catches.
Burleson has a good matchup against the Colts. The Vikes has struggled without Moss, who apparently will not play this week.
Coles has been getting a lot of catches, but just has not found the endzone.
Who should I start; Burleson or Coles?
PS I also have Stallworth and Givens. Givens is questionable with a bad knee. Stallworth has been inconsistent.

Do you think that Moss being out will help Burleson? The offense has been weak without Moss. Although, they did light it up in the second half of the game in which Moss was injured. Burleson is undoubtedly very talented and he is going against the Colts.
However, Coles gets a lot of touches and a lot of looks. Other than Portis, Coles is the Skins biggest target. He has to break loose one of these weeks.
Does anyone know about Givens' status?

Burleson has been the target of more passes from Culpepper than anyone else on the team. My inclination is that the return of Onterrio Smith will bite into Burleson's looks a bit. And once they get into the red zone, Marcus Robinson or Jermaine Wiggins will get the most chances.

Again, Coles gets the chances, but Rod Gardner seems to get the scores. I still like Coles a tiny bit better than Burleson.

He has still not practiced this week (nor has Branch or Brown) at all. He injured his knee last week, but could still play this week. Check to see if he practices today or tomorrow. Although you may be safer putting a healthy WR in your lineup.

I'd be careful here. The Colts are going to be leading significantly, and the passing game is going to get harder and harder for the Vikings. I think you'll see yards for the Viking WRs, but not TDs this week. Maybe an RZ to Robinson or Burleson, but not enough to warrant a start unless you're really desperate.
