Help with WR starters!

Recommended Posts

I've been burned by Kevin Curtis two weeks now. But he's playing Detroit and need 3 WRs in a PPR league. Pick 3 and see if you agree with me (top 3)>

 

1. D. Driver: Tough against SD but figuring they can't run the ball and will have to throw. Will be ugly but some production

2. D. Branch: Have to start him against Cincy...

3. B Marshall: Against JAX but thinking they have one good DB covering Walker so he'll get looks and run game should struggle a bit

 

4. Curtis: Against Detroit. Won first week by 2 points and lost by 1 pt week two no thanks to him. But he plays Detroit!

5. Crayton: Will probably lose the finger against Chicago...

 

So my options feasible are Driver Branch Marshall,,, Branch, Marshall Curtis or Driver, Branch, Curtis.

i think i would have to go with marshall, hes looking like a legitamate #2 wr,like you said he should get plenty of looks while walker should have his hands full, and curtis probably wont see many looks this year cuz mcnabb is RACIST!

well I hope I don't get you burned again by Curtis, but I would go him over Marshall this week. Something tells me that McNabb will get off and Curtis is a deep threat. Good luck

 

Curtis a deep threat? In what world? The guy runs good routes to get open for quick passes and stuff underneath. He's not going to seperate from a DB to get deep and beat the secondary over the top. Curtis may have a nice afternoon against the Lions, but not because he's a deep threat.

 

I'd start Marshall, BTW. I'm serioulsy considering to pick him up for my team. I already have him in another league.

Having watched most of the eagles two games McNabb has missed curtis open on a few deep balls already, I would go with Curtis, he gets open and with each passing week McNabb will get healthier and get his timing back. Plus with Westbrook possibly being out this week that means more short passes for Curtis.

Simply put, McNabb is crap right now. His accuracy has always been suspect, and this year it's worse than ever. At the same time, they do play Detroit which gave up 300+ yards to Josh McCown. I think Driver and Branch are obvious picks here, and Crayton is an obvious bench call. Between Marshall and Curtis it really could go either way. If you're more of a matchup guy, then you go with Curtis. If you're more of a past performance guy, you go with Marshall. Personally, I would go with Marshall as his QB has done well through the air this season and in Philly Westbrook is the #1 WR....and he WILL play.

 

Thanks for answering mine!

Go with Marshall over Curtis, until McNabb starts looking better. I think his ACL is still preventing him from being McNab of old.

i would actually go Driver, branch and curtis. Mcnabb looked at curtis quite a bit on MNF, and the eagles WR need to step it up, that said, i think they will do fairly well this week. Marshall is good but, Denver does have Walker and stokley too. I believe that curtis is almost equal to reggie brown. I didn't see Mcnabb target reggie brown more than curtis.

 

see mine thanks

I'd keep the setup you have mentioned. Driver is a solid WR and Favre's #1 man by far; in PPR he's even better.

 

I like your reasoning for the other two. I think I could score 20 fantasy points against Cinci D!

Go with your original rankings -- Driver, Branch, Marshall. You really have to wait and see with Curtis. I would wait until he has a good game before considering him.
