Title: Need Help with 3rd WR?
Post by Tony_O on Oct 18^th, 2003, 5:32pm

Who would you start as your third wideout?

Nate Burleson or Tyrone Calico?

Burleson #2 wideout for the Vikings versus the Broncos.

Calico #3 or #4 receiver for the Titans versus Carolina.

Both wideouts are young and talented, however Burleson is more polished, but Calico has more size and speed.

Screw all the stuff that speaks more to their chances at having long-term success in the NFL! For this week in fantasy football, I would go with Burleson based on matchup, or should I say, the fact that I REALLY don't like the prospects for Calico this week. I think Calico is a VERY risky and ultimately poor play, but Burleson ain't that much better. I would consider him the better of two poor options, frankly speaking, Toner. :-[ Best of luck, though!

Burleson starts this week, because D'Wayne Bates has a foot injury. Burleson may keep the job. Tice likes him. They may go to to him to see how he does.

As for Calico, Carolina has one of the league's best pass rushes. Although that doesn't always stop McNair. And even though Tenn has RB problems with George, the Panthers have a poor secondary but a great pass rush.

I again agree with Steg. Calico bears watching, but not this week.

This week, Burleson for sure. I really like Calico long term though...

Burleson should get the nod between these two. Calico faces a tough match-up an his looks will be limited as a #3. Burleson should get plenty of opportunities today especially with Culpepper back.
