WR5 - PPR - Morgan, Smith, Hixon, or Bennett? WHIR

Postby sirchadwick1 » Fri Sep 04, 2009 12:20 pm

You can see my full team in my sig. I picked up Chris Henry as my WR4 and Josh Morgan for WR5. There are a few options out there on the WW as FA's and I'm thinking about dropping Morgan to pick up someone that will produce better in a my PPR league. Those options are Steve Smith (NYG), Hixon (NYG), and Earl Bennett (CHI).

I know question marks surround all of these guys... but who is the safest bet to put up decent numbers this year?

Hixon - there is talk about dropping him back a notch on the depth chart b/c of his failure to catch passes
SSmith - a lot of hype around him for ppr leagues, but he rarely gets TD's... worth the chance?
Bennett - re-established rapport w/ Cutler is a good thing, but is he legit?
Morgan - I drafted him b/c of a lot of hype and the fact that Crabtree hasn't signed. Honestly I don't know much about him though and SF likes to run a lot

So who is the man to go with here? WHIR, leave link.

I would gamble on Bennett with Cutler. The only WR option I like in NY is Nicks.

I also like Bennet's upside from that list. I believe Cutler is going to put up good numbers, hopefully Bennet is the recipient of that....

I would rank them like this:

1) Bennett - there is upside, but I honestly don't see him getting a ton of touches with forte, olsen, and hester all being better options in the passing game.
2) Hixon - big play potential, but he might not show up on a weekly basis. A poor mans Deverey Henderson...not a good thing :-)
3) Morgan - reports out of san fran are they're going to run on 60%+ of their offensive plays. He might be the safest but theres not a ton of upside.
4) Smith - nah. He might be okay, but the other 3 are better IMO.
