Mike Wallace: Playing him or not? (1 Viewer)

[Cheesedawg]

I can't be the only one sweating Wallace's status heading into the FF playoffs. He was targeted a fair amount last week but much has been made about him only being a "co-starter" at one of the WR spots.

FBG has jumped his rank back up a bit from recently. What does the Pool think? I wonder if Ben can throw the ball deep? Or stay healthy after being hit?

For what it's worth I'm starting him over Michael Turner and Vick Ballard. I feel that Ballard is the safe bet to get me 10 or so points, but if Wallace was sitting on my bench and went off for 2 TDs and 100+ yards I'd be kicking myself all off season. As the saying goes, start your studs.

I'm starting him over Bowe, Blackmon, and Givens. I think his value increases considerably with Ben back. Batch can't throw the deep ball, not that the Steelers have been throwing deep much. Still, he's always a threat to catch a bomb. That said, I hope Wallace saves his blow up for next week and the following.

While I agree with you, 3 catches for 75 yards and a TD will not surprise me. I guarantee Ben targets him on a deep ball in the 1st quarter.

Agree, hopefully Miller gets a lot of dump offs

Ben looking like he normally does

I'm starting Brown this week, but if all three are healthy (Brown/Wallace/Ben) I think they're about equal WR2 starts. Decent options.

Or 3-67 as a TD...
