Reciever help, and a crazy RB question WHIR

[P1Army]

So I’m looking at a question mark in week 2 concerning my receivers. I’ve got Malcolm Floyd going up against Jacksonville at home or Donald Driver Hosting the Bills. There are a few considerations in each match up, Floyd was targeted 12 times in week one but had trouble holding on to the ball and staying on his feet in the wet conditions. Will he bounce back at home week 2 in the pristine weather of southern California. Or did Legadu Nanee build up enough rapport with Rivers that Floyd will take a dive? For Driver I’ve been hearing a lot about this bills secondary, and I know that he is the obligatory number 2 in GB but he always seems to find the end zone and with grant out are we looking at a team that will find itself passing more and not putting too much pressure on their unproven runner?

Any help would be great and I’ll defiantly drop my 2 cents on yours.

Oh and just a crazy controversial secondary thought would any of you start LeSean McCoy and bench Foster? The Match-up seems to favor McCoy.


the rest of my roster FYI

QB- Rivers, Stafford
WR-D. Jackson, D. Driver, M. Floyd, L. Evans, Jacoby Jones, Nate Burleson
RB – MJD, Reggie Bush, Tomlinson and Rashad Jennings
TE – Antonio Gates, Jermaine Gresham

At WR, I would definitely stick with D. Driver based on the match up. I don't think they will pass significantly more, but regardless D. Driver should have an extremely productive game against the Buffalo D/ST. I definitely see more potential than M. Floyd for this week.

At RB, I would just stick with A. Foster. Washington's defense is pretty solid, but the running defense still needs some work. L. McCoy has a great match up, but I see more potential in A. Foster's situation.

I'd hate to be the guy who benches an RB coming off a 200+ yard/3 TD game. Start him until he gives you a reason not to.

I think Driver is the safer play with Rodgers airing it out. I actually like Floyd this week too...like you said, he gets targeted a lot and he's more risk/reward this week. I'm a gambler; I would roll with Floyd.

Driver will have a monsterous day...bank on that.

Gotta go with the hot hand in Foster. You would feel so stupid if you benched him and he goes off again...knowing that he did it in week one.

I'm definitely starting Driver here. Floyd just isnt that good, imo. Yea, he's in a great situation, but that doesn't always = production. See Bernard Berrian for another example of this. I tend to not put too much thought into targets for receivers, and focus more on skill-set and big-playability, with targets being a secondary part of the formula for who is better.

Floyd will be an afterthought after this season, and Naanee will be the guy in Sandiego (behind Gates of course) based on taking advantage of opportunities rather than simply receiving more opportunities. Secondly, Driver's always a safe play

As for the RBs, like someone mentioned above, I'm never benching a guy after such a monster week, especially if he plays for a team that can air it out. Let the defense stack the box to stop the run. I'm sure they'll regret it, and drop back into coverage, opening things up for the run, after Andre's 2nd touchdown in the 1st quarter.

Also, not a big fan of McCoy, as I think he has a very low ceiling.
