I have been sitting here and contemplating this for 1.5 hrs now and switched out these 3 recievers 3 or 4 times already and still cant decide.
Please help!
Do I start:
P. Burriss - who really hasn't done a whole lot the last couple games and is playing Dallas at home
D. Driver - Who is matched up against the 31st ranked pass defense.
Lee Evans - Who is hotter than a firecraker right now but is up against Miami's # 6 ranked pass D.
Any help would be appreciated because I really need to make the right decision on this.
(I have to beat my co-workers a$$ because he's been talking smack all week) lol

I should also add that I also have Jennings and I am definatly using him. So I have 1 spot for these 3 guys

You're right, this is a really tough decision. Both Burress and Driver have been quiet the past few weeks, whereas Lee Evans as suddenly exploded with the return of Losman. Going off this, I would say that you shouldn't start Driver. He is going against a horrible pass defense who gives up a lot of big plays, but Driver isn't a big play reciever. He's more of a possession receiver and a redzone target. Favre will probably look to Jennings and James Jones for those long passes. Between Evans and Burress I would have to say Burress. Even though he hasn't produced the past few weeks, he usually plays great against Dallas. The Giants need this game a lot so that will motivate him more. The way you beat Miami is to pound them with the run, and that's exactly what Buffalo will do. But make sure Burress will play since he's been shaken up (he's been shaken up all year and usually plays so I don't think you'll have to worry about that). If he isn't going to play, go with Evans.

If i were you i would go with evans. He is matched up against Miami who are horrible. He is a great threat to go deep, and will most likely score with a mediocre corner at best guarding him. Don't play driver is u play jennings. There is no way for them to both have big games. Jennings usually gets it in the endzone which has seriously hurt driver. Burress is also a great play if you choose him, the only reason i don't like him is over the last 3 weeks he has only gotten a total of 75 yards and 0 TD's.

I see your difficulty. I like Driver but Jennings and Jones are eating up a lot of catches and yards. If Plax has a big day, he's the best of the 3. Lee Evans is warming up assuming Losman plays - there is some chemistry there. If this was my team, I'd go Evans if Losman is the QB. Plan B is Plax who may want to show up TO. Those are the higher risk/reward. Driver is the safest play if you need to be comfortable about putting at least some points on the board.

I would start Plaxico Burress because he is due a big game and he gets up for the big ones. He had a bad few weeks but I have a feeling hes gonna break out. 2nd I would go Donald driver he's brett favres favorite target and he is always a solid start. I know he didn't have that good of a game last week but he was also matched up against the best CB in the league (Bailey)

Burress has finally had a full week of rest. That will make a huge difference. Bottom Line: He is your number 1 option.
Evans has no one to pass the ball to him, and Miami is going to make sure that he is heavily covered all game. Bottom Line: He won't put up great fantasy numbers compared to Burress and Driver, so you should sit him.
Driver has the best matchup and the best QB throwing to him. He won't put up amazing numbers however. Greg Jennings has been stealing the show and that isn't going to change. Bottom Line: Start him at all costs.

alright ima take care of ya....
Evans has a good matchup....the D will be focused on trying to stop the run, JP is still throwing and that means plenty of deep bombs will be thrown. Miami d is hurting and evans is making up for lost time (thank god!)
Plexico(if thats how its spelled)-how hasnt been able to throw against the boi's...everyone throws on the boys....plexico is the main man, and the giants always play close games against da boys
Driver-if this was last yr i would say hell yea! but this yr he isnt gettin the same throws....those have gone to jennings, who is a guaranteed a td
LEE/PLEXICO-Beat your dumb co-wrkr and thank me l8ter

Defineitly go with Farve and Driver... Farve is having a breakout year compared to past years and Driver is benefiting from it!
Burriss is really a hit or miss type of guy

lee and driver
burress is partially bang up, i think he may have a big game against dallas. but so would driver and evans
driver always plays well again mn, division rivalry.
start lee for sure. if there is a toss, its buress and driver. the only reason i would not start driver because favre has jennings and james jones as well. but i'd start lee and driver

i would start p. BURRESS, this would probally b a high scoring games so look for burress 2 get more involved in the offense. & wel i have plaxico in my starting line cuz a great wide receiver wil alwayz bounce bak after a bad game, but injuries hurted him, as for driver, if he seemz 2 b doing good on his past 2 games, & got many receptionz, than start him ova burress

assuming you can only start 2-
Burress and Evans (Plax lit up Dallas in week 1, and Evans is finally starting to heat up)
