Johnny Knox v Dwayne Bowe v Bernard Berrian - WHIR

Postby OPM » Thu Oct 01, 2009 11:06 am

OK... need some thoughtful responses here. Pls pick 1.

- Johnny Knox - great athlete and Cutler loves him. Awesome matchup. Problem is Earl Bennett and you just don't know who's going to get the catches / TD looks.

- Dwayne Bowe - Obv a huge disappointment for me this season given where I drafted him. Tough matchup and an injured Cassell - coupled with the fact he himself is injured make him a really tough play. He may not play at all, but given his shortcomings, even if he does play its tough to view him as a fantasy starter.

- Bernard Berrian - Hasn't performed. Worried about Favre. Match up is only decent. But will Favre throw a lot to prove his point to his old team?

- Donald Brown - A lot of upside here but until he takes over more of Addai's carries, I am not starting him.

WHIR. Thanks

Bowe is a game time decision right now and the giants D shredded Tampa last week, I'm personally sitting Bowe. Knox is more of a risk than Berrian so if you just need 8-10 maybe go with Berrian, if you think you are going to need a big game then go with Knox. Bears/Lions should be a shoot out

I have Bowe in my league as well. While he hasn't been giving me the points I anticipated he would have, I think not having Cassel right off the bat kind of hurt his numbers in my view. I have a great 4th receiver to start in place of Bowe, so my decision was easy: Donald Driver (We start 3 WR's, no flex).

To be honest, I think Knox will come up pretty big. It seems like he and Cutler are connecting well and I can only see that improving. I would personally go with Knox.

The other guy I liked at the beginning of the season is Berrian. For some reason, I don't see Favre airing it out on Monday night. I think Vikes will mostly run the ball. I think starting him would be taking a gamble.

You know Cutler will air it out all day so I choose Knox.

Aside from missing last week, I don't get how you see Bowe as a disappointment this season. He had about 50 yards and a score in each of the first two games, and thats against some pretty decent coverage. I hear he was back at practice today, and I think if he plays this week you should start him.

His yardage figures concern me and he has an injury that could easily linger throughout the season.

Bowe if he's healthy (the guy is just a beast). If not, it's a tough choice between Knox and Berrian...I'd lean towards Berrian (barely), since he seems to have fewer people (read: Harvin) there to steal his thunder.
