Title: Need help.. BIG problem!
Post by PA Outlaws on Oct 2^nd, 2002, 9:46pm

Mason's injury has left me in a heap of shit!! I have to play 3 WR's. I have Moulds and Thrash which are pretty solid. The BIG problem I have is who to now play as my #3. I have to basically choose between J.J. Stokes and Quincy Morgan. I heard Morgan got benched last week. Plus, there aren't really any free agents to pick up. I plan on getting no points from either one, but who would you choose? [smiley=shootmyself.gif]

Morgan has the better potential to bring home the big bucks [smiley=money.gif]. If you don't expect to get anything out either start Morgan(late game) just to keep your adversary on edge. [smiley=evil.gif]

No matter how desperate you are, N E V E R start J.J. Stokes. How many years now has he had a good-to-great QB? Even though defenses (i.e., Giants) double/triple/quadruple team Owens, Stokes still doesn't get the ball. [smiley=Uwent2far.gif]

I'm not sold on Morgan, but at least he has shown the ability to score some fantasy points. Go with him this week. [smiley=toocool.gif]

I'd also check the waiver wire for a third. Anyone pick up Jerome Pathon yet? Keenan McCardell? Deion Branch? There may be some solid contributors still available depending on the size of your league. [smiley=smileythumbsup.gif]

12 team league, 20 mam rosters! There are no WR's left! Thanks for the advice.

Also, I forgot to mention, I have Stokely and Taylor from Baltimore and Byrd from Carolina! I think I'm still leaning towards Morgan though! [smiley=shootmyself.gif]

If I was you, I wouldn't have admitted that I owned Isaac Byrd or any of the Baltimore receivers... :o

I gotta' be honest with you and in doing so I am going to buck the trend here... I would go with Stokes this week. Don't get me wrong... I think he is a bum. BUT, Morgan is a risky play after last week's benching or whatever and Davis's emergence as of late. I just think that the Rams-49ers game will end up being a shootout. As such, I think that Stokes is in for a GOOD game, for Stokes that is... something to the tune of 50 to 75 yards and, perhaps, get this, a touchdown. [smiley=ohshit.gif]

Unless your opponent is stacked and you need mega-points out of all your players, I would actually play Stokely. While he may not get a lot of yards, he should get 50-60, and some points are better than none.
