The Steve Smith injury has left me in a bind. I can get Gaffney or Nate Washington. Help?

Kenny Britt is still out making Washington the #1 option. No telling the impact Moss will have. When Orton is on his game he can have multiple 100yd WRs. Is there an obvious match-up edge this week?

I'd get Nate Washington.

If you recall when Moss first went to NE, the constant attention on his downfield routes is what opened up all kinds of room for Welker underneath to catch a ton of balls.

I think we could see something similar with Nate, with his production improving since he'll be trodding into territory that safeties have vacated since they are pre-occupied with Moss on deep post and sideline routes.

Washington is the obvious choice here I think. You saw what he did in New England for Wes Welker. You saw what he did in Minnesota for Percy Harvin. Chances are history repeats itself for Washington.

For a consistent 6 points per week, Gaffney. For the potential for 13 points per week Washington.

There's more upside with Washington. I'd go with him.
