POLL: Fantasy Football: TE to start...

[hpkeeper]

I would normally ask this question on a saturday afernoon or something for the following sunday, but this week is odd, thanksgiving thrown in and all...

I don't known which one of my tight ends to start:

Min - Jermaine Wiggins (who will suffer because Randy Moss will be back this week, and they're playing Jacksonville's Defense)

-or-

Dal. - Jason Witten (who will suffer because he plays for Dallas)


Dallas will probably have a better outting this week because they're playing the bears, which means Dallas will probably win, but you're talking a game that could end with a score of 6-3. Even if it wasn't the bears, it doesn't look like the Dallas offense is going to do anything prolific soon.

So do I go with Jermaine Wiggins? he was pretty consistant before Randy Moss was injured... but Moss is coming back this week and the offense has started to rely more on Nate Burleson and Jermaine Wiggins, do you think they'll shift back to Moss mode? After all, they are still looking at Jacksonville's Defense, they might want to spread the ball more...

who is your pick? Witten or Wiggins?

 

[hpkeeper]

bump... why is everyone picking Witten from Dallas? just out of curiousity?

 

[Mr N8]

Witten, because he's Dallas' biggest threat, at this point, and Chicago doesn't have the defense to cover 3 WR and him.

Wiggins could do well, but Culpepper has too many options of good WR to spread the ball to.

 

[mpitts]

Because Whitten is the only productive member of that offense.

That being said, Drew Henson is going to be the starter for the Cowboys, so that could have an affect on his value and production.

Witten has the 4th highest fantasy production among all tight ends, trailing Crumpler by onle 1 point.

 

[hpkeeper]

Witten was the only productive player when Testeverde was quarterback, we don't know about Henson yet. Despite having a wide reciever corps. in minnesota, they have been managing to get Wiggins the ball, he only has one touchdown fewer than Witten.

With that in mind that Witten is the only productive dallas reciever, wouldn't you cover him being that Terry Glenn, and quincy morgan are both injured?

I mean, do you go for consistancy? or do you go for the potential for big game or no game at all? I mean, in this league I'll probably win, I'm 7-2 and I lead everyone in the league by at least 2.0 games. But which is the better option?

*edit* as you can see, I'm a Wiggins fan, but recently it's been a toss up between the two.

 

[hpkeeper]

Okay, I just pulled another stunt...


I just benched Clinton Portis in favor of Derrick Blaylock

so now I have Priest Holmes and Clinton Portis sitting on my bench
with Willis McGahee and Derrick Blaylock starting...


....sounds warped... but which combo is most likely to get me points?

I'd play Wiggins. Culpepper has been getting him the ball. Whitten has a wild card with a new QB so he could get 0 passes or 10, it's really hard to say. Plus Culpepper will try to get Wiggins the ball b/c of his TD celebrations that include the attempted breakdance, and of course the people's elbow.

Holmes probably won't play again this week so stick with Blaylock. McGahee is running fresh and plays Seattle. Portis play Pits D which gives up some insane number like 40 yards rushing a week. You are correct in your two picks.

 

[hpkeeper]

wow, someone who agrees with me.

What he said. 🙂 Witten had nothing this week against Baltimore. Granted that's the best D in the league, but Chicago hasn't been that bad either. Couple that with an unknown factor at QB and Wiggins is the more logical choice. Besides, no guarantee yet that Randy's going to play more than a handful of plays yet and Wiggins seems to be one of Culpepper's preferred targets. Blaylock looked good two weeks ago (not so good against NE) and plays a weaker run D than Portis, who hasn't done that much this year anyway.
