My league counts KR and PR at 1pt per 20yds, which made Johnnie Lee Higgins the third-highest scoring WR behind only Fitz and Calvin Johnson last year.
Should I start him over Roy Williams, Eddie Royal, or Reggie Wayne then?
Higgins is projected at better points than Williams, and I think he'd be the one I benched for him, but I cannot get my head around the fact that Higgins is actually NOT a good fantasy WR... 'makes it hard for me to commit to starting him.
What are people's thoughts on this one?
Please leave a link and I will be sure to return the favour by providing my 'insights' for whatever they may be worth..
Raiders week one starters at WR are DHB, Louis Murphy, and I think Javon Walker will actually be in there. Higgs will jump into the slot on 4WR sets prolly. Good points as a returner though. Although I like Higgins as a player, I would think you have to start Wayne. help viewtopic.php?t=445119
I would go with Wayne. Higgins is going to get next to nothing as far as receiving yards goes, so youre just kind of hoping he'll break one if you start him. Frankly, the odds of Wayne getting a TD are more likely.
Wayne's a no-brainer. Now that Harrison is out, he's the main target along with Dallas Clark. Peyton is arguably the best quarterback in the league. He'll find Wayne.
The Raiders are a disaster and aren't predictable. The payout could be good but more than likely risk won't be worth the reward of starting Higgins. For consistency & dependable points, pick Wayne.
I wasn't going to start Higgins over Wayne. Royal and Wayne are both definitely in.
It's a question of whether or not to start Higgins with my crazy return yards scoring, or ROY WILLIAMS, who a lot of people seem to think is not very good this year.
Or is this everyone telling me that Wayne is my weakest WR of the bunch...? That would be news to me, but I have admittedly been out of touch with the football world for 2 years...
If your league is a PPR, then I think you have to start Roy, even though I see what you're saying about return yardage. If it's not PPR, then 100 yards in returns = 50 yards of receiving (assuming 10 yards receiving per point). Which is more likely to happen, JLH gets those return yards, or Roy gets those receiving yards? I think you're in a feast or famine situation with JLH. If you need a home run threat, start him. If you're favored to win and need to make sure you get some production, start Roy. Good luck!
