I've got the injury (DJAx) and bye week (Holmes) blues this round and need to decide between starting Gaffney (v. Oak) or Britt (v. Phi) this week behind Ward.
Gaffney's still getting the targets and with Royal hobbled, I'm hoping that continues this week against the more favorable match up. But Britt is the one getting the TDs (4 weeks in a row) and facing a team that can run up a score, I think Young will have to throw a lot.
Non-PPR standard scoring. What is your preference?
**REVISION** I'm seriously thinking of dropping one of the above players for Crayton for the match up this week. So would you pick Crayton over either of these and if so, who would you drop?

10 team league QB- Romo RB- Charles/Gore/C. Benson/F.Jones/J. Stewart/B. Tate WR- M. Austin/A. Boldin/M. Williams/K. Britt/J. Ford TE - M. Lewis K - Buehler D- Chargers
I think Gaffney is the safer start when you look at reliability and at the QB.
Dropping Britt this week for Crayton is not a bad idea imo. It sucks to drop anyone if they are a viable start but if means filling that spot with a better starter than there is no reason no to do it. Justin Gage is practicing again so Britt's time is limited as is. Britt also gets downgraded for having Collins at QB instead of Vince Young. Look at last game against Jags. Britt had 3 catches and 1TD in only 1 drive with Young. I dont think he got more than 1 catch throughout the rest of the game with Collins. The chemistry is no longer there for Britt.
Crayton is going to be hot this week with a banged up Gates and no Malcolm. Dont second guess yourself, dropping Britt for Crayton is not a bad move, I would do it as I think Craytons floor-level performance is higher and so is his upside compared to Britt.
For me, this one is pretty easy. Go with Gaffney. He plays in one of the most potent passing games in the NFL, and you know Orton is going to look his way numerous times. Gaffney is going to get a lot of targets to because Lloyd is going to be taken out of the game by Nnamdi Asasomgha. As for Britt, he is either going to have a banged up Vince Young throwing to him, or a 2nd string, 40 year old Kerry Collins throwing to him. Not to mention the Titans are a run first team, meaning if they take any type of lead, they are going to run the ball 60% of the time. Go with Gaffney, you know he is good for at least 60 yards and maybe a touchdown.
