HAIL MARY WR3 play/help...... (1 Viewer)

 So I made the playoffs in my biggest league, now we are down to a "win or go home" scenario. You know the drill.

 Start 3 WR league, and my other 2 starting WRs are MIKE EVANS and ALLEN ROBINSON.

 Currently I have COREY COLEMAN slotted in as my WR3, and I am not loving that really.

 There is talk of brutal weather there in Cleveland, and RGIII might be starting. If it makes a difference, I am ALSO STARTING the CINCY DEFENSE on this team.

(I try not to start a defense and opposing WRs if I can help it) Its not that big of a deal, as I like the matchup for Cincy, but RGIII and the weather makes me a bit nervous.

 I have these available on the wire, or am looking at these possibly......

 WILLIE SNEAD , TED GINN Jr,  WILL FULLER , CAMERON MEREDITH, ROBBY ANDERSON, TY MONTGOMERY.

  Not sold on Snead, theres too many Cooks in the kitchen there for the Saints. (pun intended)  Ted Ginn, hes been on fire as of late, but he may well drop everything the moment I pick him up. I hate depending on him, and he is really only good when he rips off a big play or two.

 Robby Anderson is intriguing, as apparently Matt Barkley (yes THAT Matt Barkley) loves him, and targeted him 12 times. Its a solid matchup, as they are playing SF.  Its hard to have the stones to start him, as he hasn't done much of anything all season until last week, when Barkley started. I don't like "chasing points", but thats all it seems like, until we see if Barkley is locked in to him, and we may not know that until after this game.

 Montgomery has been almost non existent for a few weeks. It seems as though they are done with Starks, so this may well be the play. Just hope he catches a pass or two, and maybe runs for 40-50 yards. This is a possibility.

 Meredith- he is a weird one. He has flat disappeared in games, and thats even after Alshon got hurt. Not sure I want to go down this path, as it may well turn into a 2 for 15 kind of line. Plus he is against Detroit IN DETROIT , and their pass defense is fairly tough.

Will Fuller intrigues me too. This may well turn into a shootout, and not only is the INDY defense bad, their best corner should be on Hopkins.  Fuller was electric early in the season, but then the targets slowed up. It looks like he is a 4 for 60 type of guy most weeks, but he can put together a few big games here and there. Another one I am looking at.

 I'm leaning towards Fuller, Montgomery or Anderson.

 It might be worth noting, this is not a situation where I may need a 25 point explosion.  This looks to be a matchup where I have a 5-6 point edge in projections. I am more or less looking for a solid 8-10 points, and I don't necessarily need a 20 point burst, if that was the case I would likely get Ted Ginn and pray.

 Any thoughts are appreciated, and I will try and help in return.

I don't like the idea of starting Fuller. Brock has been down right bad at football for a while now. I would honestly have a hard time starting Hopkins. Anyway, my thoughts are: Montgomery should be a decent bet to hit your 8-10 range depending on your scoring (PPR?) because I see the Packers pulling out all the stops against the Seahawks in a must win. That means I see them using Ty out of the backfield again and hitting him on short routes. Snow is in the forecast as well which might slow the Packers passing game down a bit like last week and force them to run. They don't have a running back so look for Ty to be involved. With that being said, I would probably roll with Ginn. He has been great the last 3 weeks and somewhat solid over the last 2 months. I don't love your lottery ticket options (Anderson, Meredith, Snead) one of them will likely go off but who is it? And as you said in your post, you don't necessarily need a home run at this spot. One thing for sure: don't start Coleman-that has disaster written all over it.

Bottom line (My opinion): Ty should have a decent floor in a snow game that will require creative play calling but Ginn seems to have a higher ceiling

 
 This is non-PPR.

 It has come out that Michael Thomas has missed 2 practices in a row.

That may or may not translate into something over the weekend, but if he ends up missing or looks to miss, I will likely lean towards Snead in what should turn into a shootout vs. The Bucs.

 After looking over everything, I am liking the Ty Montgomery thought train too.

I don't necessarily see him blowing up, but he may have a solid floor, especially if they use him running again.

I might have to wait until Saturday to make this decision, as if Michael Thomas sits that makes Snead much more interesting in what should be a shootout.
