TE and WR quandries: Antonio Gates is unsure for sunday, so Im tempted to start Dennis Pitta in his place (Gates was probable last week and ended up not playing). Torrey Smith has also been my #3 receiver for the season but has yet to break 60 yards in a game. I know hes the deep play guy for baltimore and Id like to think hes due for a big game but Im wondering if I should try someone else out. my other options are Mike Williams, Sidney Rice, Mohammed Massaquoi, and Stephen Hill. if Gates plays do I have to start him? should I give Torrey another chance? new england has been basically untested against the run so far so I figure theres a hefty dose of Ray Rice incoming which might hinder baltimores passing output, but with Pitta dominating the targets there it doesnt look like I can really go wrong putting him ahead of Gates this week; Smith seems to be much more of a gamble though. if you were wondering, my other starters are Demaryius Thomas and Reggie Wayne, and its a non-ppr league with no bonuses for yardage.
