DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Fantasy & Gaming Which crappy WR to start?

So despite my best efforts at finishing .500, I've somehow made the playoffs. Now I'm faced with the dismal prospect of three of these gentlemen starting for me. Who would you recommend?

Kevin Curtis, Eagles
Brandon Lloyd, Bears
Donte Stallworthless, Losertown Losers
Arnaz Battle, Niners
Kevin Boss, Giants (technically, a TE, but still a crappy option )

Now that I'm IN the playoffs, I might as well TRY to win them. So help!

I know you meant this thread specifically for me so allow me to plop my opinion down.

Arnaz Battle is just coming off injury as of last week, so there's no way in hell you start him.

Kevin Curtis just took a concussion last week so there's no way I'd trust him either if he even plays.

Brandon Lloyd has 4 receptions since coming off injury 3 weeks ago. It's a stretch to assume that he'll suddenly get the targets he was getting before, so I'd say no to him as well.

Donte Stallworth is a deep ball receiver with Ken Dorsey throwing the ball. He has 3 receptions in the past 4 games. What do you think?

By default, that leaves Kevin Boss who has cooled off bigtime as of late... and just about the last thing on earth you want is a TE taking up a WR slot.

I guess I'd start him but the real question is... who's on your waiver wire?

Option 4

Hit the waiver wire and see if you can pick up A Gonzalez from the Colts, and or J Gaffney from the Pats.

Gaffney is available - you think he'll perform?

Also, Steve Smith (Giants) and Ike Hilliard (TB).

Randy Moss vs. Oakland?
Santonio Holmes vs. Baltimore?
Vincent Jackson vs. Kansas City?

I'm thinking Randy Moss... But Vincent Jackson could get a score or two as well.

I think Randy will be full throttle against Oakland just for spite. Plus it's the Raiders.

However Cassel's father just passed away and he hasn't been at practice so the main question is that if Cassell will play or not. My prayers go out to his family.

I don't see Santonio having that good of a game because Baltimore will be all over Ben.

So that leaves Jackson but I would keep an eye toward the New England stiuation and see if Cassel plays. Could have one of those phenominal games that sometimes happen after someone experiences a loss.

I kind of feel wrong talking about this considering the situation.

Well if I had to choose between those WR's (ugh), first I'd bang my head against the wall, then I'd probably start Kevin Curtis.

So who did you start?

The crappy ones.

Oh man... I got lucky tonight. I was up 6. The other guy had Westbrook and I started Desean Jackson over Braylon. I would've won with either WR, but I thought I was gonna lose for sure. PPR league. 1 point for every 10 rush/rec yds. I even got -2 from Jackson's INT!

Thats cool.

Wanna talk about luck I was last in a league earlier in the year and managed to come all the way back up to 4th the week before the playoffs (was 6th) then 3 of my starting backs were hurt the first week of the playoffs so I picked up Pierre Thomas and Sammy Morris off the waiver wire and they both had great games. Plus it helped Matt Cassel threw 4 td's. I demolished the guy and now i'm in the championship game in this ten team league.

Also one away from the championship in a 12 team league in which it looked like I had absolutely no shot in either.
