THis is NOT a tough choice for me. I rule OUT Price since he is new to the offense. I rule out Morton because he is a number two that may slip to number 3, plus the offense sucks.

That leaves Porter as the only choice left........and a very good choice since he is proven. In addition, no more double coverages for him since Moss is there. I would probably start him as the #3 all year and ditch one of the others...

Just a "heads-up", SoSo...CBS Sportsline reports that Jerry Porter will be a gametime decision.

the fact that jerry porter has a pulled hamstring and is questionable and that he is going against the patroits is why i dont think he is the easiest pick to make....i do think morton against a weak secondary could get some chances.....

Tough call, SoSo...do you have to start THREE WR's? Or can you go with an extra TE?
If you must start 3 WR's, Morton may be your best option...SF WILL most likely be playing catch-up, but will Morton be on the receiving end? Yeah, tough call.

Let me "modify" here...it may indeed be best to go with Porter afterall! He's a player and I just don't see him missing this game unless he's tied down in restraints. The Pats can't double-cover Porter and Moss both at the same time. But, it's up to you...good luck!

Is that flip-flopping???

IF Porter plays, NE will control the middle and OAK will go vertical. That means a "big play" game for the Raiders, so it's up in the air ( ;D) for Porter. He has a good chance for a long TD or more - IF he plays.

Also, Turner could be making Porter a gametime decision to make planning tougher for the Pats. He has a good excuse with that hammy problem all preseason, and some people have been claiming that Porter is dogging. It could all be strategy.
