WR Match Ups to Exploit/Avoid (1 Viewer)

Footballguy
It's hear a little early this week guys. We are at the halfway point and have a lot of things to discuss. Lets get to some WR analysis. :thumbup:

Indy @ Carolina:

Well Panther fans, here come the 7-0 Colts whether you want them or not. Too bad you guys are not playing them on the road where you guys may have a chance. Please god, put Vinny Testeverde at QB to at least give the Panthers a shot a winning this game!

Harrison/Wayne/Clark: You can expect a big day from all three. The Panther secondary will be no match for this threesome. Not sure how healthy Marvin is, but you have to start him. Reggie Wayne put on a show Monday night against the Jags catching nine passes for 131 yards. The Panthers give up a ton of points to opposing TEs, so Clark is a must start.

Smith/Colbert: The big question here is who starts at QB. If Vinnie starts, Smith could have a nice day stat wise. Vinnie also tossed nine balls towards Kerry Colbert in week 6, but he only caught three of them for 29 yards. Stevo seems to be the only reliable fantasy option on the entire Panther team at this point.

Colts 31 Panthers 17

Oakland @ Tennessee:

Curry/Miller: WR Ronald Curry continues to be the most consistent player on the Raider roster. Last week against the Chiefs, Curry caught four passes for 47 yards and caught the only Raider TD. He’s the best option this week against a tough Tennessee pass defense. However, TE Zach Miller is coming along within the offense as well. Miller has seen 14 targets the last two games and has caught seven of them for 65 yards and a TD. He would be a nice option this week if your TE is on a bye.

Williams/Scaife: Hopefully Vince Young returns this week which will upgrade all of the Titan receivers. Last weekend, the main man was Roydell Williams who caught five passes for 124 yards. TE Bo Scaife also looked very good within the offense catching six passes for 49 yards. Williams could make a nice sleeper pick if Vince plays, so check the status of Young before inserting him into your lineup.

Titans 20 Raiders 14

Cleveland @ STL:

Wow, you know things are wacky when the Brownies are 3-point favorites on the road against the Rams. Browns QB Derek Anderson is playing out of his mind right now, so he should have HUGE game against the Ramless Rams.

Edwards/Winslow: Expect big games from both of these STUDS. Fresh off a three TD performance, Braylon could duplicate that this weekend against a bad Rams secondary. If Braylon is not open, watch Anderson check down to Winslow who will be a mismatch for whoever is covering him. This is definitely a match up to exploit.

Holt/Bruce: The Brownies as we’ve seen can be passes on. With RB Steven Jackson due back this week, you have to believe they just want to ease him back into the offense and not rush things. I expect Bulgar to air it out to Holt and Bruce, so expect them to be busy early and often. Holt and Bruce are nice options this week, and there is a chance “Big Game” may have his first 100 yard game.

Browns 24 Rams 20

Minnesota @ Philadelphia:

Williamson/Wade: So, let me get this straight, only two receivers were thrown to last weekend against the Cowboys? Williamson had one catch for 25 yards, and Wade had one catch for 16 yards. Yikes, stay very far away from Viking receivers and look for them to pound the ball with Chester Taylor and AD.

Curtis/Brown/Westbrook: A disappointing year overall for this offense so far. This group of receivers has dropped several balls that McNabb has put on the money. They get a Viking secondary this week that they should be able to exploit. Kevin Curtis seems to be the favorite receiver for McNabb so he should be able to produce some nice stats in this game. Reggie Brown has also been very active lately as last week he was targeted six times. RB Brian Westbrook continues to be a PPR machine, so you can expect the usual 5-7 for Westy and a possible receiving TD this week as well.

Philadelphia 24 Minnesota 20

NYG @ Miami:`

Burress/Shockey/Toomer: The Niner’s did a good job last week on Plax Burress holding him out of the end zone and breaking the streak of six games with at least one TD. Don’t sweat it though Burress owners, you have the Fins this weekend and they have nobody that can match up with his size. Expect a bounce back game from Plax. Amani Toomer scored for the second week in a row last week and is a great WR3/Flex play this week. TE Jeremy Shockey caught five passes for 39 yards and a TD last week and just like the rest of the Giant offense, should have a find day this weekend.

Sleeper Alert: Amani Toomer – 5 catches, 60 yards, TD

Booker/Ginn Jr./Hagan: Receiver Derek Hagan led all Miami receivers last week in yards with 56 off of four catches. Ginn Jr. and Booker also saw a lot of targets. The problem was though most of Cleo’s passes were off target. I don’t expect the Fins to get blown out like they did last week again, but this should be an easy win for the G-men. Cleo will need to throw the ball a lot to win the game, with the way the Giant’s defense has been playing, the Fins offense will struggle. Keep all three of these guys on your bench.

Giants 31 Miami 17

Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati:

Here’s an odd fact about this series. The road team has won the last four meetings between these teams. For all of you gambling buffs, the chalk is on the Steelers this week.

Holmes/Ward/Miller: Receiver Santonio Holmes is enjoying a break out season this year and should have a lot of success this week against the Bengals pitiful excuse for a secondary. Last week against the NFL’s best pass defense, Holmes caught six passes for 54 yards and a TD. He’s a must start this week against the Bengals. Hines Ward looked great in his first game back from his injury catching seven passes for 78 yards. Ward also led the team with 13 targets. Meanwhile, TE Heath Miller had his best game of the year catching all five passes thrown his way for 50 yards and two TDs. All three of these guys are must starts and should be very busy this weekend.

Housh/Chad Johnson: What a weird game last weekend offensively for the Bengals. They score 38 points, but Palmer only throws for one TD? Since when did the Bengals start pounding the ball to a back up running back for three TDs? I don’t see the Bengals having that same success this week against the Steel Curtain. They will have to air it out to Housh and Johnson. After watching Broncos QB Jay Cutler shred the Steeler secondary last week for three TDs, Palmer should have no problems finding people open this weekend. Housh should get back to business with 100+ yards and a TD.

Steelers 28 Bengals 21

Detroit @ Chicago:

Williams/Calvin Johnson/McDonald: Wow, what has happened to Roy Williams the last couple of weeks? He’s not sniffed the end zone in three weeks? Have no fear RY owners, Roy has actually played very well against the Bears in the pass. Not sure about Roy going over 100 yards this week, but 70+ yards and a TD should be expected. Did anybody see that sick end and around run by Calvin Johnson? This guy has some serious skills folks and it’s only a matter of time before he’s a star in the NFL. Play him this week against

Moose/Berrian/Olsen/Clark: All four of these guys are serviceable this weekend. The one guy I will profess my love for in this group is the TE Greg Olsen. He was targeted a team high eight times against the Eagles and caught four of them for 48 yards. Griese loves throwing to this kid. Moose and Berrian have also been stepping it up lately and are excellent plays this weekend. Berrian has a shot at going over 100 yards and finding the end zone. Desmond Clark should be involved in the passing game as well.

Sleeper Alert: Greg Olsen & Desmond Clark – Each one may go for 5 catches 50 yards, and a TD.

Chicago 27 Detroit 20

Jacksonville @ Tampa Bay:

The Jags will be coming into this game very banged up and starting a third string QB. That will not bode well for an improving Tampa Bay defense.

Northcutt/Wilford: With 3rd string QB Quinn Gray as the starter, do not, I repeat, do not start a Jag receiver. Gray looked horrible when inserted in the game completing 9 of 24 for 56 yards. Enough said.

Hilliard/Galloway: Hilliard and Galloway continue to flourish with QB Jeff Garcia at the helm. Last week against the Lions, Hilliard had his best game of the year with 9 catches, 92 yards, and a TD. Hilliard is on an amazing pace for 80+ receptions and 1000+ yards by the end of the year. Galloway was somewhat quiet last week only catching five balls for 46 yards. I don’t see the Buc’s running the football against the tough Jaguar front, so Garcia may have no choice but to put the ball in the air. Hilliard and Galloway are both excellent starts this week against the Jags, especially playing in front of the home crowd.

Sleeper Alert: Ike Hilliard – 5 catches, 70+ yards, TD. (He cashed in for me last weekend as a Sleeper, and I’m not stopping now.

Tampa Bay 21 Jacksonville 17

Houston @ S.D:

Davis/Walter/Daniels: The duo of Kevin Walter and Andre Davis combined for 10 catches, 185 yards and two TDs last week against a tough Titan pass defense. Meanwhile, TE Owen Daniels was the odd man out only catching two passes for 20 yards. It’s hard to tell which Bolts pass defense will show up. Will it be the one currently ranked 25th in the league? Davis, Walter, and Daniels all need to be busy this weekend if the Texans have a shot. I like all three of these players in what could be a shootout.

Sleeper Alert: Kevin Walter – 5 catches, 70 yards, TD

VJax/Gates/LT/Chambers: This group will be going up against the league’s 20th ranked pass defense. There is nobody on the planet right now that can match up with TE Antonio Gates. He’s have a career year and should be able to go over 100 yards and get into the end zone at least once. With Chris Chambers now in town, the Bolts get yet another deep threat. I don’t see any fantasy value yet in Chambers. Let’s see how he looks within the offense Sunday to see how the Bolts use him. It’s hard to also gauge how much this will affect VJax. He will now be fighting Gates, LT, and Chambers for targets. I actually like the match up this week for Vinnie. He could play out as a nice WR3/Flex option. LT will do his usual thing. He could be in for another Raider size performance.

Bolts 31 Houston 20

Buffalo @ NYJ:

Evans/Parrish: Wow, look what happens when you throw the ball to your best receiver Lee Evans? He catches five of his eight targets for 98 yards and you win the game. I actually see some value here this weekend guys. The Jets have no idea how to defend the pass, and Trent Edwards should have a decent day ahead of him. I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but remember those days where Evans would blow up for something like 8 catches, 200+ yards, and at least one TD? Could it happen this weekend? It could be one of those very few times you need to get him into your lineup. It’s just a gut feeling I have. (or its the chili dog with extra mustard I just ate?) Oh and then there’s this guy Parrish. If you have this guy on your team period, you need to be kicked out of your league.

Coles/Cotchery: Some way some how, Chad Pennington and his noodle of an arm have earned him another start this week against the Bills. Last week’s stats were a little inflated due to the hail mary pass to Cotchery. Now that I’m through bashing Pennington, this is an excellent match up for the Jets offense. The Bills have no secondary what so ever, so Pennington should be good for at least get 200+ yards and two TDs, which would be very serviceable if your main QB is on a bye week. Coles and Cotchery are must starts until further notice. I see Cotchery taking advantage of the Bills secondary the most and going over 100 yards receiving. Coles should have no problems finding the end zone either.

Jets 24 Bills 21

N.O. @ S.F:

Yea, I know the Saints have won a couple games now, but this still does not look like the same team this year. San Fran is playing at home and is desperate for a win. Could this be the Upset Special of the Week?

Colston/Bush/Johnson: The Falcons did a nice job covering receivers down the field last weekend. The 9er’s has a respectable secondary and I foresee some problems for the Saint receivers this weekend. Eric Johnson could be a sleeper pick this week as I see Brees checking down to him and Bush a lot this weekend. Colston has gotten to the point where you can’t rely on him. For the season, Coltson has 26 catches for 265 yards and two TDs. Very average if you ask me. Since the Saints are playing on grass on not on turf, I would downgrade Colston and all the other receivers. Bush and Johnson are the better options this week IMO.

Sleeper Alert: Eric Johnson – 4 catches, 40 yards, TD

DJax/Battle/Davis: Don’t look now but the 49er’s are getting healthy. QB Alex Smith is supposed to be back this weekend, and TE Vernon Davis returned last weekend against the Giants. Now I know the receivers in San Fran have disappointed so far this year, but this is a Match Up to Exploit. The Saints are 27th against the pass, so look for the 9er’s to take advantage of this weakness. Vernon Davis is the one guy due for a break out game IMO.

Sleeper Alert: - Vernon Davis – 5 catches, 70 yards, TD

49er’s 24 Saints 17

Washington @ New England:

This just in! This just in! Tom Brady is really good! Meh, whatever. Was it really necessary for the Pats to throw up 35 points against a bad Miami defense in the first half? That’s classless if you ask me. The only way the Skins have a chance in this game is if they can put pressure on Brady. On with the analysis.

Moss/Randal El/Cooley: Let’s hope this trio can produce something, because if not, this game will be over quickly. Moss is the deep threat that they can use to get the offense moving, but we have yet to see this from him in any game this year. Randal El and Cooley are getting the most looks on offense. For the Skins to win this game they will need to throw the ball to keep up with the Pats. Randal El is a guy I think has some nice value against the Pats. He’s their most consistent receiver and the Skins may need to use Cooley to help block the Pats front line and blitzing packages.

Sleeper Alert: Randal El – 5 catches, 70 yards, TD

Moss/Welker/Stallworth/Brady: Are people actually having thoughts of benching these guys because of Washington’s pass defense? Brady has too many weapons, and although I don’t think Brady will throw for five TDs, he should still have a find day passing the ball. Brady will find some kind of weakness on the Redskin secondary and exploit it. Not quite sure which receiver will benefit from the match ups, but I’ll take a stab at Welker. I think the Skins will throw a ton of attention on Randy, and that will leave Welker with single coverage. Welker could be in for a big day as long as Brady can find him. Where can you find an almost guaranteed TD this week? Look at Pats TE Kyle Brady. He may only get a catch or two for a couple of yards, but a TD is almost a given with the other Brady at QB.

Sleeper Alert – Kyle Brady, 3 catches 15 yards, TD

Pats 27 Skins 10

Green Bay @ Denver:

After a week off, Brett Favre and company return and will travel to the Mile High City to take on a Bronco team that surprised everyone last weekend with their victory over the Steelers.

Driver/Jennings/Jones: Who says the Broncos can’t be passed on? If Big Ben can carve up the Denver secondary for 3 scores, why can’t one of the all-time greats in Favre do it on Monday Night Football? The Packers have no run game to speak of, so the only other option is to pass the ball. This has the potential to be a shootout, and Greg Jennings could be a sneaky play this week. With Champ Bailey covering Driver, Brett may just look to throw Jennings and Jones the ball. All three have the possibility of finding pay dirt.

Sleeper Alert: Greg Jennings 5 catches, 80 yards, TD

Marshall/Stokely: These two looked real good last weekend against the Steelers combining for 11 catches, 141 yards and a TD. I like the Broncos at home throwing the ball. I don’t see them running the ball with Henry as the Packers have the 11th best run defense in the league. Stokely and Marshall should be started in all leagues against the Pack.

Packers 24 Broncos 21

Top 5 WR Match Ups to Exploit:

1. Amani Toomer WR NYG

2. Greg Olsen TE Chi.

3. Vernon Davis TE S.F.

4. Randal El WR Wash.

5. Greg Jennings WR G.B.

Discuss! :hot:

 
Nice write up! :thumbup:

The only one I'm questioning is Steve Smith as a must start. Most of the opposing QBs that faced Indy this year have not topped 200 yds, and with the train wreck QBBC in Carolina, I'm thinking this week will be no different. I'm not sold that Smith will get 50yds and a TD this week. If Carr starts, I would knock off the TD and about 15yds. This Carolina offense just isn't the same without Delhomme.

 
Great stuff. Really interesting take on NE v. WAS. I am still benching Welker to start Holmes, Holt, and Burress (and starting MJD at Flex). The match-ups are too good to pass up even though I may risk missing another great game from Welker. As long as Watson is out AND you don't have much better options, you gotta start Welker.

 
If Bubba Franks is still out I'm expecting Donald Lee to put up some decent numbers this week. Favre knows how to find his TE that's for sure.

 
I really like Mushin this week, Griese has been looking his way and he's likely available on the wire if you need to make a pickup.

Question. Who was the last QB that faced Peyton Manning and WON? :unsure: Answer: David Freaking Carr!! :shock: I still see now way he can lead the Panthers to a victory. Just a fact I thought was interesting. :nerd:

:goodposting: Im with him. Great job on the analysis, but I think that Arizona was so busy laughing at Vinnie T. being the QB that they dared him to throw to Smith. I dont think that happens this week whoever is QB. Smith is too much to not take serious and they will cover him heavy. Problem is no QB in a Panther uniform will be good enough to force it in coverage. I think they get their yards on the ground, if they get any at all. I say Smith is a tough play this week.
 
Thanks again.

My only disagreement is with the titan receivers, If young plays I actually downgrade them, especially scaife. Watching the game it seemed like Collins targeted Scaife 20 times.

 
Oakland @ Tennessee:

Curry/Miller: WR Ronald Curry continues to be the most consistent player on the Raider roster. Last week against the Chiefs, Curry caught four passes for 47 yards and caught the only Raider TD. He’s the best option this week against a tough Tennessee pass defense.
Isn't this the same "tough" Tenn Def that let the Texans backup QB shred them last wk for 30 something pts?Pls explain why you think they're tough.

Minnesota @ Philadelphia:

Curtis/Brown/Westbrook: A disappointing year overall for this offense so far. This group of receivers has dropped several balls that McNabb has put on the money. They get a Viking secondary this week that they should be able to exploit. Kevin Curtis seems to be the favorite receiver for McNabb so he should be able to produce some nice stats in this game. Reggie Brown has also been very active lately as last week he was targeted six times.
Could this be the week that Reggie Brown owners finally start him?I admit.......I still have him stashed at the end of my bench.....but I still don't know if I should trust him or look to the WW for someone like Toomer, Muhammed, Porter.

Meanwhile, TE Heath Miller had his best game of the year catching all five passes thrown his way for 50 yards and two TDs.
In last wks thread, I actually disagreed with your Pitt@Den analysis and suggested Miller was a GL option.
Detroit @ Chicago:

Williams/Calvin Johnson/McDonald: Wow, what has happened to Roy Williams the last couple of weeks? He’s not sniffed the end zone in three weeks? Have no fear RY owners, Roy has actually played very well against the Bears in the pass. Not sure about Roy going over 100 yards this week, but 70+ yards and a TD should be expected.

What about McDonald?Is his fantasy window of opportunity closing?....now that CJ is healthy

Totally agree...with VY, it's a definite passing game downgrade, running game upgrade. Collins is questionable at best as a QB, but even at that, still a better passer than VY. VY opens up running lanes for his RB's though big time.
 
Good stuff man! Keep it up!

Let's hope VD can actually do something to live up to his "hype" :crosses fingers:

They've picked off more passes (10) than they have allowed TDs (7)

I must confess, I've loved Reggie Brown this year too, waiting for him to bust out. If you had better options though I would go elsewhere. The Viking pass defense looked good last week against Cowboys.+

Answers are highlighted in RED.

Meanwhile, TE Heath Miller had his best game of the year catching all five passes thrown his way for 50 yards and two TDs.
In last wks thread, I actually disagreed with your Pitt@Den analysis and suggested Miller was a GL option.All I can say is good call. The Broncos had the best pass d in the NFL, and Ben made them look pedestrian.

Yes, IMO he is.
 
Great writeup. I know it takes time, but its a good read and fun too.

I can tell you this about the Titans pass defense. Last week was an aberration. Trust me, we will put all three Oakland QB's out of the game this weekend.

 
I disagree with Joey Galloway. JAX has shut down #1 WRs this year thanks to Rashean Mathis
Are you sure? Reggie Wayne lit them up. Dont give me Harrison is the #1. If you watch Indy its obvious Wayne is. Also, Harrison was in and out didnt play all snaps
 
I really like Mushin this week, Griese has been looking his way and he's likely available on the wire if you need to make a pickup.
Not to mention Detroit gets killed by the #2 receiver each week, especially on the road. K. Curtis and Randle El had monster games at home against the Lions. I. Hilliard had a good game last week. Mark it down, Championship!

:thumbup: As mentioned in my post, Moose has been getting a lot of action lately. He would definately be startable as a WR3/Flex against the pathetic Lions.

pretty sure Mathis covered Harrison most of the game cuz Harrison always plays on the same side of the field. not sure though.

Randle El was the Skins #1 WR that day (Moss was hurt) and Curtis is Phillys #1 WR. Either way MM is still a good play

Wayne's just a tad better than Galloway.

Maybe fantasy wise but there's not many WRs faster than Galloway. Skillwise they are close

Geez, can you not give any credit to the QB handing him the ball? :D
 
Traded for and picked up Lee Evans in 2 leagues. Hope he gets a touch and 50 at least
:shrug: Good luck with that trade. Now is the time to see if you can get Evans for something cheap. The schedule is VERY favorable and consists of games against the NYJ, CIN, MIA twice, and Cleveland.
 
Rotowold is reporting Darrell Jackson may not play for the 9'ers this weekend. This would definately bump up TE Vernon Davis and WR Arnaz Battle if DJax can't go. Bump them up accordingly against the Aint's. :goodposting:

WR Muhsin Muhammad has just 17 catches for 225 yards, but he leads the Bears with three touchdowns, all of them in the past four weeks.

He’s their most consistent receiver and the Skins may need to use Cooley to help block the Pats front line and blitzing packages.

Sleeper Alert: Randal El – 5 catches, 70 yards, TD
Good write up, I just wish you would spell Randle El right. Now I get to decide if I want to bench Ward, Roy, Edwards, or Evans for him. :rolleyes:

Lee Evans (at NYJ). Evans finally knows that Trent Edwards will be his quarterback for the rest of this season barring injury, and it appears the two have developed a nice rapport. Last week, Evans finally showed up with five catches for 98 yards against Baltimore. In Week 4 against the Jets, Evans had six catches for 72 yards. The Jets are No. 26 in pass defense with 11 touchdowns allowed, so let's see if Evans can start getting hot.
 
I really like Mushin this week, Griese has been looking his way and he's likely available on the wire if you need to make a pickup.
MM has been sneaky good the last few weeks. Pleasantly working out well for me as a WR3, I concur.
 
Riding Griese, Berrian, and Moose in the starting lineup this week against Joe Barry Carrol's high school JV version of the Tampax II...

Kevin Jones is my RB2 also...

I like my chances with all 4.

Go Lions. 37-35 would be nice.

 
Moss/Randal El/Cooley: Let’s hope this trio can produce something, because if not, this game will be over quickly. Moss is the deep threat that they can use to get the offense moving, but we have yet to see this from him in any game this year. Randal El and Cooley are getting the most looks on offense. For the Skins to win this game they will need to throw the ball to keep up with the Pats. Randal El is a guy I think has some nice value against the Pats. He’s their most consistent receiver and the Skins may need to use Cooley to help block the Pats front line and blitzing packages.

Sleeper Alert: Randal El – 5 catches, 70 yards, TD
Good write up, I just wish you would spell Randle El right. Now I get to decide if I want to bench Ward, Roy, Edwards, or Evans for him. :popcorn:
:lmao: I need to STOP rushing this stuff out to everybody! :lmao:

 
My prayers have been answered for Vinny Testeverde!! :thumbdown:

Upgrade Steve Smith this weekend. He should be very busy and we all know Vinny likes firing the ball his way!

 
Still thinking that NE will be slowed by WAS - that's a relative term, which means 2-3 TDs for Brady. WAS has two great safeties who can and good 3rd CB (Smoot). With that, I don't think all of the NE WRs are must starts. Welker will get his catches with Watson out, but he may not score. Anyone starting Welker becuase he's in the top 10 in most formats and has had two great weeks in a row is chasing last week's points. If you drafted Welker late and have some other good options this week, go with them. I'm starting Holmes, Holt, and Burress ahead of him and, if healthy, MJD gets my flex spot ahead of Welker.

Just a hunch.

 
Hey Laughinboy, this is some seriously great stuff! Keep it up!

Can I make one suggestion? Can you put a link in to your other Exploit postings in each posting? I know you would have to go back and add it, but it would sure make reading/finding them a lot easier. Just a thought! Thanks for putting this together!

:thumbup: Hmmm.. Ya see. They have this thing called the "Search Forum" on the bottom of each page. That would be your best way to access past WR Match Ups to Exploit/Avoid. If you simply just type in "Exploit/Avoid", it will bring up all of MoP's QB and RB Match Ups to Avoid/Exploit, and also LB's WR Match Ups to Exploit/Avoid. That would be much easier than me having to look up past weeks and create a link of past write ups. And Yes, I'm a self proclaimed SLACKER. :yes:
 
Let's get some discussion started up in here today folks.

1. What are people's thoughts on Marvin Harrision this weekend? Anybody concerned about him? Even if he plays, I don't think you play the guy. He may not be the same the rest of the year, so he may be someone you may want to shop around in a trade. What are people's thoughts.

2. Looks like Champ Bailey may not play Monday night, which would bump up Donald Driver and the Packer receivers. I am slowly starting to see Brett Favre having one of those magical Monday night games. Get the Green Bay receivers in your lineup.

I think you are right that the Welker point chasers will be disappointed this week. I think Brady is a "spread it around," type and he will hit Stallworth who is "under the radar," in my view.

I know how to search...can't you tell that I am a slacker too?
 
lboy, with Harrison apparently out, I'm leaning towards Bruce or VD in a PPR league. Any thoughts on these two? I like VD chances too, but STL has got to get that offense rolling one of these games!
