I don't think any of those guys on the WW would break into your lineup. But if you really want to pick up one, you coudl probably role the dice on Best if he ever gets healthy again. But it sounds like his Turf Toe is going to be problematic for the rest of the season. But if he does get healthy, he could be a nicer flex than Boldin. Boldin has been terribly inconsistent this year. As for WR's Burleson is a nice option because Calvin Johnson gets a lot of double coverage. But I really doubt you start him over Sidney Rice later on. But if Favre is bad, and Manningham loses value in 3 weeks once Nicks and Smith are back, you may end up needing Burleson. So if you have to choose one guy, drop Ricky Williams or Jason Snelling and pick up Burleson. I'd drop both Ricky and Snelling and get Burleson and Best. Their upside is good. But in all honesty, I doubt either make it into your starting lineup ahead of Blount and Rice who are on your bench.
I think James Jones has a lot of upside the rest of the way so I wouldn't drop him. I think he will definitely be more valuable than Manningham once that receiving corps heals. I think the previous poster is right, it might be worth taking a gamble on Best in case he ever gets healthy. I think Mike Thomas or Nate Burleson are two nice options as well with Thomas the #1 receiver on the Jags this year. Burleson gets a lot of looks with all of the focus on Megatron. Good luck!
There is no one there who is going to help your team unfortunately. Stick with what you have over anyone thats there. Best could possibly be good again, but I doubt it with the turf toe.
I would consider dropping Snelling for Burlson, perhaps Bush or Williams, in that order. If you don't want to lose your handcuff, then I would still say that Burlson is a worthy addition.
