Pick 1 - Megatron, Sims-Walker, Crabtree

[jarobert]

Non-PPR.

Would like to roll with CJ but what if he starts, plays 1 series, and then sits. Or is just ineffective at less than 100%

If he was ruled out before the game, I'd just plug in Crabtree so no big deal.

Crabtree and Sims-Walker both have solid matchups though. One or both could go off in this game.

What would you do?

Tough choice. I think I'd go with MSW. CJ plays late as does Crabtree, but I like MSW over Crabtree. If you try for CJ, you're going for all or nothing. CJ could be great or not play much, as you noted. If you pull him for Crabtree at the last minute, then you're getting your third best option. So even trying for CJ gives you a 1/3 chance of having something good happen. MSW should be solid this week, and could be big, so that's why I would just start him...

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the well thought out response? Any others?

I have a similar choice this week. I'm stuck with an injured (borderline bust) WR1 in Megatron and a bunch of WR2 like MSW, Crabtree and Bowe. In addition, our league does not require a TE but instead starts any combo of 3 WR/TE. So, I have A. Gates in the mix too.

I've been going back and forth, looking at all the rankings trying to decide. curtk makes a great point when he explains the reason to sit Crabtree.

Yeah, he could go off against a weak TEN pass D, but it's a long shot.

With CJ you don't know what you're gonna get. He could be hurt, Stafford could be hurt. He could get 1 reception for 2 yards like he did against PIT. I just don't trust him at this point. I would love too, because I paid top dollar for him, but I can't trust him right now. For that reason, I like MSW here. Yes, he had a tough game last week and you were probably disappointed if you started him, but I think he has shown to be the most consistent WR of CJ, Crabtree and him. I'm thinking that I am going to roll with Bowe, Gates and MSW this week.

Good luck!
