Starters for week 5?

Question

Would you start Reggie Brown vs Dallas; or Marcus Robinson vs Detroit?

Also, with Westbrook being Questionable, would you start him or Thomas Jones vs Buffalo?

OK, so i think i will start Jones and Westbrook as my flex option... however i also have F. Gore playing the raiders. What now?

Answer 1

Reggie Brown! He is a HUGE bump over Robinson - especially this week. Stallworth is going to be out against Dallas and McNabb will rely on Brown, LJ Smith and (probably) Westbrook in Philly's passing attack. If Westbrook sits, then Brown will see even more action. He is Philadelphia's #1 WR while Stallworth sits.

Robinson sometimes plays Minnesota's post-man in the red zone, but you cannot count on him for yardage or breaking away after the catch. Think of him as a poor man's Bubba Franks - 30 yards and a 35% chance of a TD each game. Robinson is part of the Viking's WR-by-committee and cannot be counted on for weekly production.

If you can wait until just before kickoff to find out if he is playing, then choose Westbrook - he has the better matchup. If not (and you want to get on with your life on Sunday), Thomas Jones is the safe option.

Answer 2

I would start Robinson against Det. Also, Thomas jones is a much safer bet against Buffalo. Remember that Westbrook was a late scratch from last weeks game. You certainly don't want to take that risk again. Jones will put up solid numbers this week. Good luck in week 5!

Answer 3

Start Brown he is better then Robinson...and will get more Td's ..Play Jones cus Westbrook will be riding the pine his knee is swollen..Jones should get more Td's this week against the Bills.

Answer 4

Robinson because Detroit has been struggling to get any kind of defense. Start Jones because he is coming of a great week 4 performance and is looking to continue it.
