Pickup Pierre Garcon or Denario Alexander from waivers?

Just as title says.

I also have Reggie Wayne.

Garcon had a great last week, but done little otherwise. With Dallas Clark now out, he could become more valuable. Having Reggie Wayne and Garcon playing would give a nice hedge where assuming Peyton does his usual 300yds and 2-3 TDs i'm probably assured of almost 200yds total and 1-2 TDs.

I know little about Denario other than no Clayton and Avery make him a top choice as Amendola likely gets the most scrutiny by DBs. He is a big target (6'5") and had a great last week, but hear he is injury prone. Bradford is also questionable.

I'm struggling on this.

I would suggest Garcon is probably slightly the better overall value bearing in mind Alexander has had just 1 game so far - however if you already have Reggie Wayne and would not be planning on starting both him + Garcon at the same time, then I would probably take a gamble on Alexander and see how he gets on...

Garcon for sure, could be top 20 from here on out

Part of the plan might be to start both Wayne and Garcon. One can blow up while the other does ok. I feel like it's a good hedge and with only Collie a big remaining target, it seems 200+ yds and 2 TDs for starting both players is very reasonable.

Seems like a no brainer now w/news that Collie is out for several weeks on account of hand surgery.

I have to start both Wayne and Garcon right?

Done a LOT of reading on Alexander this past week and have signed him to a long term deal in my dynasty league as a result. However, in a redraft and with his schedule and with the Rams sorta easing this kid along i doubt he'll pay big dividends for those in redrafts this year.

And i was just about to say what you just said, Collie will be out several weeks and wen he returns he'll be less of a factor to begin with then what he has been. Pickup Garcon.

Not a big fan of playing 2 WR From the same team on a regular basis. Sure, you're hedging your bets but what that means is you're also limiting your upside. And, if Indy has a tough week passing then you're screwed in the WR Department. However, this might be the only exception i would make as no other two WR are as capable of putting up simultaneous respectable numbers as Collie/Wayne are with the big P throwin their way.

And w/ Clark out, these guys could see some extra targets.

Again, go w/ Collie, but you may want to shop one of them around for a top WR (probably Wayne as he has more name recognition and will probably end up w/ similar #'s to Garcon).


Good luck and please help w/ mine:
