Fantasy Football - which wr's to start in week 2?

Question

im looking to fill my 2nd and 3rd wr position.
i have three to choose from.

1 wes welker vs chargers

2 vincent jackson vs pats

3 devery henderson vs bucs


who is the odd man out and why?

also.. is it worth it for me to pick up derrick mason as a free agent and drop one of these guys?

Answer 1

You really need better Wide Receivers. Still, the odd man out should be Jackson. Welker is a new key to the Patriot offense and Henderson catches a lot of deep balls. Last year Henderson led the league in yards per reception.

Answer 2

For me, the odd man out is Welker versus the Chargers. Brady has a habit of throwing to different receivers on a weekly basis. Moss got all the yards last week. But, Welker had about a half dozen passes thrown his way. So, I would expect Brady to be looking for Stallworth and Ben Watson this week.

Rivers couldn't find Jackson more than a couple times against a very stout Bears defense last week. And, the Pats will be keying on Gates this weekend. I think Jackson is going to have a breakout game.

Brees has a 111 passer rating, with 435 yards and 4 TDs against Tampa Bay over their last two meetings. Look for that trend to continue, as Brees finally shows that last year wasn't just a Katrina Magic fluke. Brees will air it out and there's a good chance Henderson will get a few touches.

I just can't say the same thing about Welker.

Answer 3

With the San Diego and NE D's looking really good last week i'd say you start Devery Henderson because the Buc's D ain't that good. I think you also start Vincent Jackson because with all the Pat's depth on offense he probably won't get as many touches as you'd want him to, plus Jackson is the Chargers 2nd best wideout and that's if you count Antonio Gates. That's what I think but do whatever you like, good luck!

Answer 4

First I would not play welker based on this is the first game we will see the "real" Pats. Second all 3 are better the Derrick Mason.
