Ryan Mathews, Torrey Smith, Mark Ingram, or Justin Blackmon.

Obviously depends on Mathews health but I assume he isn't going to play (or not many snaps if he does). Torrey has a tough matchup vs. PHI with Asomugha covering him. Ingram was awful in debut, but NO played from behind all game. Need to see something from Blackmon first.

I'm thinking Torrey...help please! Will read and respond back to your post, thanks!

I think your only choices are Torrey or Blackmon. The one thing you have to think about is Blackmon. He obviously won't be the better play in the beginning of the game, bc Torrey Smith has Joe Flacco, but you have to wonder, will Houston run the score up on Jacksonville where Blackmon will have more receptions and yards.

With Torrey I feel he is more like a 4 catch 80 yard player where blackmon could get you more receptions and yards but less chance of a TD, it's up to you, I just think it will depend on what you feel the second half of each game will be like.

Torrey is the safer pick, but I think Blackmon could have more points at the end of the day.

If Mathews plays, you go w/ Mathews, but I'm not expecting it...

That said, I like Blackmon better than the rest. Smith is not an every week starter... and this is one of those weeks you don't start him.

Regardless of match up, I think you still have to start Torrey Smith. You can't start Mathews and Smith has much more potential for fantasy point production than M. Ingram and J. Blackmon. J. Blackmon will probably be more viable down the road, but M. Ingram just probably won't see enough touches.


Please help me with my trade if you have time: viewtopic.php?t=520260

Blackmon will be covered by Jonathan Joseph.

Go with Smith.

Please help me out!

I agree with the Joseph point. I'm going Torrey here if Matthews is out.

Help?
