Title: WDIS Help on WR position:
Post by captainpurple on Oct 11^th, 2003, 7:09pm

1st off, the scoring system makes WR/TE more valuable in our league than most others: 1pt/rec; 1pt/20yds (rec & ret). A good possession receiver with 6-8 recs can help a lot!

That said, I'm starting:

WR-JSmith
WR-DBennett
WR-DStallworth
TE-Bubba Franks
WR/TE-Randy McMichael
WR/RB-Dante Hall

I like DBennet to hit one this week though, especially with Aaron Glenn not playing. Stallworth was my sleeper pick, wish he' wake the f&%K up!

McCareins, Travis Taylor, Deion Branch are some of the available WR in my league but I'm not sure any are an upgrade.

If anyone, I'd think of picking up TTaylor vs ARI, thoughts?

GO VIKES!

When you listed the players, I too thought of Taylor vs. the Arizona secondary. It's a favorable matchup for him, especially considering the fact that Arizona isn't that bad against the run.

There's no point in having McCareins and Bennett, so stick with Bennett who has been very good lately (even when hurt).

I'd take a chance on Taylor this week over Stallworth. New Orleans has some serious issues to address and until they do, Stallworth is a risky play.

I like ur lineup just the way it is. Taylor could do ok against AZ but Boller has been HORRIBLE and Lewis may steal the show and Heap the redzone looks. For what it's worth I dropped Taylor this week.

I see the Saints-Bears game as a point-fest and like Stallworth to wake up this week. Don't like Branch but I believe McCareins is ranked higher than Bennett to date in FFPoints and doesn't he get more looks/catches than Bennett? I wouldn't play them both either as philly mentioned. I guess I would compare and check the #'s on McC & Bennett and play the better WR.

Good Luck

I agree with FJ on this regarding Stallworth/Taylor. HOWEVER, get this, I would consider benching Jimmy this week. He is known to be erratic and after last week's very solid performance, I portend a down game for him this week, especially against the Dolphins. I might even go with the Bennett/McCareins combo over Smith/Bennett, thus locking up a lot of Tennessee's passing numbers on the day. It's kind of a middle-ground approach. One of those two guys gots to do well, if not both decently. Whereas the Smith/Bennett combo could really blow up in your face today. That's my take.
