Agree with you. Think this is a fairly easy choice with White, Edwards and Mason. Walter could have a good day, but is 3rd target begind AJ and Daniels. Coles shouldn't come off your bench. Good luck.
Looks good diceman --- BUT --- just be forewarned that Cinci has been using "bracket-coverage" to effectively take-out the opposition's #1WR over the past 4 weeks. Now, I am not sure if Cinci's pass-D is for real or if they have just been extremely fortunate over the past month or so, but their record is 4-1 as a result of taking away other teams' "big-play" WRs. If this pattern holds true to form, then we can expect AJ to have a sub-par day (less than 100, no TDs) and Walter being allowed to catch the ball but remain contained (100+yds and flip a coin for a TD) ie Walter having the bigger day, so assuming that he will be the 3rd target behind AJ and TE Daniels isn't exactly accurate or to be expected imo.
As for Mason, I figure that since Cam Cameron made SUCH a big deal out of failing to get Mason the ball last sunday vs Cinci, and that may have been a reason why Baltimore did not prevail, it's sounding like Cam will do everything in his power to target Mason early and often on the road in MINN, a tough atmosphere where veterans/team leaders like Derrick are more likely to shoulder the load, and are unlikely to get rattled. Seeing how Minnesota is again tops in the NFL against the run (thanks in large part to their pass-rush and the 'Williams Wall'), it would not surprise me in the slightest if Cam decides that he's going to use the pass to SET UP the run. Minnesota's secondary is good with WInfield and co, but are a bit overrated and can be had by a smart QB with a great arm, ie Joe Flacco. I can see Flacco beating Minny's blitz by using swing passes on the edges and screens to Rice in the flat. The point is, that if Flacco is passing on most downs, Mason SHOULD be the beneficiary of such a strategy. And that's why I am starting him.
A lot to think about, but the above info seems relevant to me at least...

Just to reinforce the aforementioned....
I agree with everthing stated above I think Walters is in line for a bigger day, he's supposedly fully healthy now and gets down field which is where Shaub always looks first.
Roddy White looks good against an overrated Bears secondary.
To reinforce taking Derrick Mason over Braylon even though he looked damn good on MNF against the Jets and is playing a banged up Bills D. The Bills D is a bit disceptive. Edwards will draw Terrance Mcgee in man coverage who I believe is one of the most underrated corners in the league and reports are starting MLB Pozluzny and SS Whitner are practicing this week. As terrible as the Bills offense has been their D nearly beat NE, held Brees to no TD's, and while it's nothing worth mentioning I will, Byron Leftwich, Chad Henne and Derrick Anderson of the 2-17 performance have all been held in check. Generally its the TE's and RB's and there own offense that kill the Bills, WR's haven't done much. I think with Cotchery out and Sanchez and The Jets needing a solid, but not necessarily spectacular, performance and a win after 2 losses I look for Rex Ryan to run the ball down the Bills throat, control the clock, and blitz Trent Edwards to death. The philospohy will be based on why put it in the air if you can walk it in and play keep away. Edwards or Mason pick your poison
