Which Chicago WR... Hester or Knox

Postby quitesanemax » Fri Oct 09, 2009 9:16 pm

If your just taking WR into consideration, they have the same amount of points for the year. But I think Knox has pretty much taken over return duties. In our league we get 1 pt/ 15 yards for returns. Adding to that, he seems to be one of Cutler's favorite receivers.

I need to decide before Sunday's games, because once Sunday's games start, he goes on waivers, and then I might not be able to get him... if someone else wants him off his bye week.

Thanks!

The Bears, because of Cutler, are turning into a pass heavy offense.... go with Hester all day long.

I hate all of Chicago's receivers, and I'm the owner of two of them.

How can you start any of these guys with confidence? Hester, with a dream match-up, caught 1 pass for 2 yards. Other starting receiver Earl Bennett had 2 catches for 32 yards. Johnny Knox didn't do much better, catching 5 passes for 31 yards.

Your not putting returns into consideration... But your right, Hester hasn't been that consistent. That dream matchup your talking about, be fair. Hester got knocked out of the game due to an injury... injuries happen. You can't do anything about that... Lets put it this way. In 4 games in my league this is the points they would have gotten me:

Knox Hester
1. 8 (wasn't doing returns yet) 11
2. 9 (did some returns) 3
3. 15 (Full time returner) 13 (Without returns)
4. 19 1 (Got injured in 2nd qtr, though)

Well, can't get it to lineup like I want. The first number is Knox, the second number is Hester.

Hester has always been big because of his potential as a returner. Do you feel that way even though that job has pretty much been given to Knox?

I actually didn't realize that.

Well, that shows you my luck. I started both Knox and Bennett, and you'd think Hester getting hurt would propel both of them. :-o

Well I would go with the guy that is both returning and lining up as a WR and getting red zone looks.

Knox is your starter this week.

Hester over Knox

Hester got hurt in the Detroit game - got hurt on the play where he got his one catch - which was a redzone look BTW - he got blow'd the F up at about the 5 on a screen pass.

Hester is the number 1, Knox is the number 3.

Hester still handles PR duties last I checked.

I like knox over hester at the moment.

reason: knox has the return duties. Thats a slight edge.

2 speedsters like that will keep any defense busy with cutlers arm. I still think there is slightly more devensive attention towards hester, which leaves Knox the better WR. Hes a young rookie with alot to prove still.

Go with knox.

in fact, i really dont think you would be wrong going with hester either. Its about even in my eyes

Ok, let's clear up the return duties issue first. Hester returns punts, Knox returns kickoffs, so you're about even there. Both have big play ability, but Hester is the guy that "no one wants to let beat them". The problem with the Bears receiving corps is that Cutler is an equal opportunity QB so far - the open man or the hot hand gets the ball, he doesn't have a "favorite". That makes them fun for me and my fellow Bears fans to watch, but absolutely maddening for fantasy owners. Based purely on the number of snaps they'll see, I'd take Hester. But it's close. Good luck!
