Fantasy Football Help

I need help picking wide receivers for my fantasy football team.

Here are my picks: Steve Smith (NYG), Chris Chambers (KC), Steve Breaston (Ari), Donnie Avery (Rams), Antonio Bryant (Tampa Bay) or Kenny Britt (TN).

When my brothers asked me to join their league, they only had one job for me -- to lose. I'm this game from the play-offs.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Britt and Chambers.

Breaston is a #3 with a backup QB, The Giants are a mess against a very good Cowboys D. Avery being thrown to by a backup, and Antonio Bryant ... he is the third I’d pick after Chambers and Britt

It would help to know which teams these guys are playing. Off the top of my head I’d say Steve Smith, because the Dallas secondary is not that good, and Chris Chambers. Do you need more than two? If that’s the case I might take Britt if Leinart starts for Arizona, Breaston otherwise (though MIN has a good secondary).

I have a similar issue, but all of my WRs are studs: Randy Moss (NE@MIA), Sidney Rice (MIN@ARI), Marques Colston (NO@WAS), and Calvin Johnson (DET@CIN).

When we drafted, I didn't know enough to get good draft picks.

Only two picks really saved me: Drew Brees and Ricky Williams.

Chambers is supposed to be covered by Champ Bailey and that's what has me concerned. I had Dwayne Bowe but I had to drop him because of his steriod use.

That’s who I had decided to go with. I also have the Brady vs. Favre problem. Normally I start Brady, but Favre has been really coming on lately while Brady has slumped. I decided to go with Favre because my opponent has Berrian and Shiancoe, and if Favre goes off this week with 6 touchdowns, it’s likely my opponent is gonna benefit (and I’d like to negate that).

I wouldn’t worry about Champ Bailey, he’s lost a lot recently. He’s mostly working on reputation now. I’ve seen him get burnt quite a few times in recent games.

Believe it or not, I picked up Ricky Williams on the waiver wire around week 3 and have been riding him since, especially after Ronnie Brown went down. I expect big numbers out of him against NE today.

My brothers laughed at me when I selected Williams. Who’s laughing now. Williams has been a major stud!

Favre has been incredible. Plus with Rice you get double points

I have Rice and Sims-Walker. I need to win for PO’s today too.
