Title: WR ???
Post by kec6906 on Sep 24th, 2004, 7:04pm
hey gang - my 1st lineup ? for the weekend.

i have Horn @ STL, A. Johnson @ KC,  Price vs. ARI,  or Roy Williams vs. PHI.  i need 3 to start.. who would you chose?  Fitzgerald @ ATL is also avail on waivers.

i was def thinking Horn & Johnson but up in air on #3.

;D  thanks   ;D

I'd go with Price, as I think Vick will have a good week yardage wise passing. Williams will be shut down vs. the Iggle corners, and Fitzgerald is still not a better start over Peerless.

With ya on the first two. That last one is a toughy.
Both look likely to score maybe 1 td and have yardage in the 50 yard range. They play the #20 and #22 defense against wr. With so little seperating them I'd use pass target #'s as my tie breaker.

Price targeted 11 times, caught 6
Roy targeted 14 times, caught 8

I give the nod to Roy, by the slimmest of margins. Good news is, not bad wr3 numbers wichever way you go.

i would have to say start roy because he is the go to man and has shown he can make the hard catch....also i think philly(the team) will be in for a upset.  I really am thinking the lions win this week.  not to mention roy has been getting the red zone catches....price hasnt shown he will be a threat yet since vick hasnt shown he is gonna pass yet....

I would go with Williams too.  While Philly's defense is tough and the WILL win  [smiley=ready4war.gif] they tend to "bend but not break."  They will give up yardage but are stingy with the TD's.

I agree with this assessment.

I also believe that Larry Fitz could have a nice showing, and finally find that end zone.

I agree with Horn and Johnson in your #1-2 holes.  I would go with Price in your third.  If he is going to have a breakout game, this should be it, and I think he is a safer play than Williams.

I'm sure you're loving this split decision!   But I'm going to say Williams vs PHI.   ARI did a nice job vs STL in the opener, and should have success limiting Price.  Price hasn't shown anything yet this year, while Williams has shown up 2 weeks in a row.  Ride the hot hand(s)!

Good Luck!
