Need WR3 Help! WHIR!

Postby kn29393 » Wed Dec 02, 2009 1:24 pm

Ok, so I've decided to go with Megatron and Avant for WR1 and WR2. Now I need to decide between:

Burleson vs SF
Crabtree @ SEA

Burleson has been solid for me all year, but has been a bit of a dud lately and with SF moving to the spread I see Crabtree getting more and more targets the rest of the year. Both D's are bad against the pass (SF - 27th / SEA - 24th). Who would you start??

It's PPR. THANKS!

Thanks for the help on mine. I'd lean toward Crabtree here; Alex Smith has been steadily improving and SF's running game will probably open up a lot of play-action opportunities. He's not a sure thing, and I imagine Vernon Davis will get more looks, but Seattle's offense is pretty anemic and Hasselbeck has been shaky. Honestly I think either will yield comparable results, but Crabtree probably has a better chance of breaking a long one for a TD.

I'd lean towards Crab too. Burleson is a great #2 wr on a team but if the defense chooses to take him out then they will he isn't good enough to beat the extra attention. Crab won't receive extra attention with Davis/Gore.

Crabtree seems to be getting more opportunities as of late compared to Burleson.. Id go Crabtree..

Thanks for the help with mine. I would go with Crabtree. He has more upside than Burleson. Plus the Seahawks have laterly been running more than passing which will limit what Burleson can do for you.
