Is Nate Burleson really a #1 wr (1 Viewer)

I read in a fantasy football article that had Nate Burleson rated as a #1 WR this week. Is that even possible with CJ on the other side? What do you think he will do these last few weeks?

If he is allowed to push off he is a beast.

If he is allowed to push off he is a beast.

You can bet the refs are watching for sure now. Nearly every play that has a little contact between WR and DB could be called a push off one way or the other. They seem to be watching Nate a little more than the rest.

This week? Probably. The Vikings pass defense is the worst in the leage. Burleson is singled up every play with Calvin on the other side. Stafford should be good for 300 and 3. 80-90 and a score for Burleson seems likely.

WR2 at best.

Another vote for WR2 at best.

The logic is that Megatron will be triple teamed like the NO game, that still might not help the Vikings. #1 is a reach but he's a hell of a sleeper over guys with qb issues(the Bowe's and Lloyd's of fantasy)....

The Vikings could put all 4 of their scrub defensive backs on CJ and not be able to contain him. Burleson is a decent play but nowhere near a #1 play.
