The way McNabb is playing, it really doesn't matter who's #1 or who's #4.... they are all getting their looks, and it's a great time to own any part of that offense.

I agree that the Philly offense is clicking on all cylinders right now but I think to assume that Brown's reception production will remain at its current state with Stallworth back is not a good assumption.
In the first two weeks with Stallworth playing here is how it broke down.
Week 1 @ Hou
Stallworth 6 for 141 1 td (9 targets)
Brown 2 for 20 1 td (6 targets)
Week 2 vs NYG
Stallworth 5 for 81 1 td (11 targets)
Brown 1 for 23 1 td (2 targets)
It wasn't until week 3 when Stallworth was out that Reggie Brown led the team in targets with 11. I know 2 games is a small sample size but on talent alone Stallworth is a better than Brown imo. But we all know that there is more to the game than talent.
I see Brown still being a factor in the redzone and with McNabb's td production I could see him being a strong option for tds each week but even after that SF game his targets were 7, 6, 7, 6 since then. So I don't see him having big reception or yardage games with Stallworth in the mix, especially at his current 55% catch rate, if his targets drop to the 4 or 5 range he is looking at some games like the first two weeks with 1 or 2 catches. Just my

Good post. Well with Stallworth, there are 4 viable options for him to throw to:WestbrookStallworthLJ Smith BrownThet will not all have big games but 2 probably will with the way they've been passing.IMO-when Stallworth is in and healthy, Brown will be hit or miss along with LJ. Westy will be fine regardless.I agree that the Philly offense is clicking on all cylinders right now but I think to assume that Brown's reception production will remain at its current state with Stallworth back is not a good assumption.In the first two weeks with Stallworth playing here is how it broke down.Week 1 @ HouStallworth 6 for 141 1 td (9 targets)Brown 2 for 20 1 td (6 targets)Week 2 vs NYGStallworth 5 for 81 1 td (11 targets)Brown 1 for 23 1 td (2 targets)It wasn't until week 3 when Stallworth was out that Reggie Brown led the team in targets with 11.

Besides week #1 and #2, does everyone remember the MNF game which Stallworth started and got hurt? Brown was barely looked at in the first half with Donte playing.
I may give it a week, I have Plaxico so it's not that big of risk to let it shake out and see if McNabb will stop looking at Brown again.

As an owner of both in a PPR, I think the previous difference in the numbe of targets really matters. Also, in at least 2 games while Stallworth was out, McNabb seemed to target Baskett a lot. This tells me that maybe McNabb doesn't truly see Brown as much of a #1 as he would see Stallworth if Stallworth is healthy. My only reservation against starting Stallworth is not knowing how close to 100% he is. Bottom line is that I think Brown's numbers will be affected in a way that cuts into his consistency, although I think he'll have unpredictably big games.

Then Again, Stallworth can re-aggravate the hammy after a couple of plays and be out a few more weeks. As a Brown owner, that's what i'm hoping for.

I just traded for Stalls today, however I am worried about this weekends game.
Not because of his hammy but here in philly they are calling for 40mph winds on Sunday. If you havent been to the LINK the wind can whip around in there pretty good.

Stallworth is the #1. WALK BROWN!

I have the Mcnabb/brown combo every week but i think i start W.Lundy in browns place with him splitting targets with stallworth....and now with strong winds focasted that makes my decision even easier.

Stallworth back helps LJ Smith's numbers, IMO. With Stallworth in there, LJ put up 6 for 56 (on 6 targets) and 7 for 111 (on 12 targets). Since Donte has been out, LJ has had yardage totals of 19, 38, 63, 48, 38 (on 4, 4, 6, 5 and 6 targets). Week 3 he did score a 1 yd TD, but he was banged up and wasnt a factor in the passing game otherwise.I think week one they didnt realize how open LJ would be with Stallworths emergence, and in week 2 they DID know it and took advantage of it. Then out goes Stallworth, and down come LJs targets and yds. I look for him to be open all day as teams obviously have to worry about Westy, Brown, and now Stallworth again.

I absolutely agree. I was thinking before, why not wait just 1 one week just to be sure? Now that I realize week 9 is a bye, it makes even more sense to sit him on the bench this week.

Actually, they are calling for 15mph to 25mph winds with a chance at an occasional gust of up to 40mph. Big difference.

The only flaw in your thinking is that this game is HUGE for Philadelphia. They need to win this weekend and will do everything to make sure that happens. If they lose this weekend, they're pretty much done with a nasty schedule following the bye.

I just traded McCallister to get Stallworth. Don't forget, in weeks 1-2 he was performing better in that offense than TO did in the Super Bowl year. I was deep at RB and love this deal getting a #1WR on a pass first offense. Stallworth runs aggressive deep routes and Andy Reid loves to target him in play action, flea flickers etc. He's a great buy low in my opinion. If he has a big game this weekend, everyone will remember how good he is in this offense and he'll be a lot harder to acquire (even w/ the bye coming up).

Brown had a couple deep throws to him that were overthrown but in the second half it was pretty much all Stallworth as far as WRs go. Because of the wind, McNabb was throwing mainly to Westbrook but considering Stallworth was only on the field part time, 3-56 is pretty good for his first game back.

Not sure about Brown but I believe Stallworth was targeted 5 times in part time duty.
