Who does Champ Bailey cover? Louis Murphy or Jacoby Ford? (1 Viewer)

The Oakland Raiders play the Denver Broncos this week. Who will Champ Bailey cover? We know he probably will not be covering Heyward-Bey so who will he cover? Louis Murphy or Jacoby Ford? Will the WR that he doesn't cover have a huge game?

 
I'm guessing he'll just cover half the field. Neither wr is worth shadowing.
That'd be my guess. Maybe he shadows Murphy a little more since he's clearly back to being the No. 1 WR but it's not like Murphy's a stud player (at least he has yet to prove he is). Broncos homers feel free to chime in but my guess is they'd leave Champ on one side of the field and he'll defend whoever lines up there.I think the only Oakland WR worth starting right now is Murphy. Then it comes down to how much do the Raiders move him around. If he doesn't line up strictly on one side of the field, chances are good he'll avoid Champ a lot which would make him a viable fantasy starter. If he tends to line up only on one side of the field and it's the same side Champ is typically on, then you'd avoid him and maybe (emphasis on the word "maybe") Ford or DHB (who was more involved last week than Ford) could be an upside reach. But given how little involvement Ford has had the last two games and given how little DBH has done the entire season I'm not sure either one is someone you should be considering in Week 15.

wouldn't mind knowing if Bailey will be on Murphy or not. I'm trying to decide between Murphy and Daniels (TE counts as WR in my league) as my WR3 this week, and of course would appreciate any info or insight.
