If you are asking bc Floyd might not be a "go" this sunday, then I'd have to say go with Knox. Listen, nobody is more shocked than I at my Redskins secondary's inability to limit yards (not to mention haul in INTs -- DAMN YOU CARLOS ROGERS!), and while I suspect the Bears want to get Forte going early and often at home sunday, Cutler can still make ALL the throws, including the deep-ball, where Knox --- NOT Hester --- is the real threat to hit homerun paydirt. Knowing full well that DeAngelo Hall and Carlos Rogers are both susceptible to the dreaded "double-move" by opposing WRs, Knox is no exception and possesses blinding speed and good hands. Last week Knox managed 120 yards on just 5 catches ( or 6, if memory serves) and I have the feeling that he may be the only bright spot in the Chicago passing game. The Bears are favored to win (by 3, for you degenerates out there lol) but I see a different outcome. I see an abundance of yards piled up but few points, and if your league gives milestone bonuses for 100yds or more, then Knox is probably a better play than Patrick Crayton, as the Pats are now well-aware of his ability to hook-up with his new QB Phillip Rivers --- Crayton was ALWAYS a WR2/3 in Dallas, and nothing more. I am calling Crayton's numbers from last week a one-week wonder of sorts, plain and simple, giving him little chance of repeating such a performance... btw, I'm not sure you want to "sleep" on New Orleans upstart/rising star RB CHRIS IVORY this week in particular, where the Saints get the lowly Browns @ home to beat up on --- Ivory's value will take an obvious "hit" once Pierre/Reggie Bush is/are back on the field at full strength, but until then you just may want to think about installing him at "flex" since your league allows it, 150+yds on a scant 10 carries is nothing to sneeze at my friend, and there is little game film for Cleveland brass to study on Ivory currently... just a reminder that sometimes you CAN catch "lightnin' in a bottle", if only for a week or two... Anyway, Knox gives you the best chance at a long TD or 100yds based upon the match-up imo.
GL!

I would go with Crayton. He is going to be Rivers main target if Gates can't go. We already know Floyd is going to sit out, so regardless if Gates plays Crayton is going to get a bunch of targets. With all the Bears struggles lately, I can't see rolling with Knox. Cutler has really struggled lately, and until he proves otherwise, go with Crayton.

I'm sure Cutler will be tossing bombs and Knox will be the first one he looks at on those plays.

I don't like Crayton. I'm I huge Rivers fan, fantasy owner since NCST, but what makes him so great is not only Gates' ability but his presence. (I hope I'm wrong) Sproles will probably get most recepts for SD.

I like Knox better than Crayton here too, I think Knox has a decent to good game, and Crayton has a poor to decent game. Definitely Knox has the best shot of breaking of a big play or two and seeing the end zone.
