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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
