I like Sidney Rice and David Nelson with those options. I look at targets and touches. Now that Rice is back, he's targeted often...and Nelson continues to be a Welkeresque target. The more times they touch the ball, the more opportunity they have to score you points.

I agree with this, Rice is the clear #1, and Nelson has as many catches as Stevie, and just 3 less yards. Harvin has a good matchup, but its hard to say to start him as the Vikes look like a mess offensively. I wouldnt start Torrey till he shows he can produce on a consistant basis. Thomas as been hit or miss, and NO is a tough matchup. Though they should be behind and throwing quite a bit, I dont trust Gabbert yet. I dont like to reccomend any Saints WR, especially when you have two other solid guys to stick in there.
I'd rank these guys in this order: Rice>Nelson>Harvin>Meachem>Thomas>Smith
I think that Harvin has the greatest talent and big play ability ... but Minnesota's gameplan doesn't include winning. Sad. Meachem is knocked down a peg with Colston's return and Brees has many mouthes to feed. Mike Thomas is victim of a sad offense. TSmith is still subbing in Lee Evans' role, but will be vs Jets secondary.
