Deion Branch or Darrius Heyward-Bey?

In a really tough spot this week.

First, some back ground.

My division is very competitive, fortunately I have far and away the best team in the league, in spite of my 6-2 record (two slip ups, those two losses were by a combined total of 3.5 points)

Those two losses have me second in the division to a guy who has the second best team in the league and 7-1 record-his lone loss coming to me in Week 1. Because of how competitive the division is though, I really can't risk losing. Besides, I've never had a loser mentality of shooting for second place anyways. A win this week would give me the number one seed in our division (the other division is horrid, the number one seed in that division has a losing record) and essentially lock me up a playoff berth.

So, as stated in my headline-with Smitty(whom I drafted in the 9th) on a Bye this week, and Reggie Wayne sucking this year-I'm stuck choosing between Darrius Heyward Bey or Deion Branch. ESPN is telling me go DHB, NFLN is saying go Branch. My number one WR is Greg Jennings (behind Smith of course.)

This is a big week for me, need to make sure I get it right.

I think Branch's recent touchdowns are a bit of an anomaly. Brady prefers his TEs in the red zone. But on the other hand, you know Bush is going to get the work in the red zone in Oakland. I just have a good feeling about Palmer and Hey-Bey this weekend. If you get a bonus at 100 yds, I'd go wtih DHB on the upside.

Wayne has not gotten a TD since Week 1 and has gotten 6 points almost every week. I've consider him, but do not trust him.

DHB got 11 targets from Carson Palmer two weeks ago, and now with Oak coming off of a bye, he currently is the guy I'm favoring. He's got boom potential.

Raiders receivers tend to be switched up in targets, one week it's DHB, one week it's Denarius Moore, etc. I think TJ Houshmanzadeh's signing confounds that further.

I'd go with DHB. I am starting him, looking for the raiders to light up the broncos.

Branch has the better QB with Brady, but they are against NYG who have a decent defense and something to play for.

Either or would be a good choice you'd think, go with the gut.

just to update you guys, I won and now am in first place in my league.

Interestingly enough, Desean Jackson and Santonio Holmes both came available in my league, and I'm hoping to get my hands on at least one. Could be a monster help for me.

Snag jackson while you can. Eagles are gonna turn,it round in the 2nd half of the season

Wasn't able to snag Jackson which isn't surprising. Was last in the waiver order. DID get my hands on Santonio Holmes and Antonio Brown, so I like my depth there now. Also managed to snag Peyton Hillis, which was a low risk-high reward move considering I dropped Joseph Addai to get him. Sitting pretty.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
