Need a little help with my WRs....

Pick 2 (PPR League, 1 Point/15 yards)

Andre Johnson @ Pitt
Torry Holt @ Phila
Roddy White vs. Detroit
Nate Burleson @ Buff

I'm pretty much 100% sure that I'm going to start Johnson as my #1, but I think Holt may struggle. What do you guys think?

That's a nice group of wideouts...I'd say Detroit is the weakest D, but it is unclear if Matt Ryan can throw in a pro game, and given that Phily will put points up and San Louie will be needing to throw, I'd go Holt and Johnson.

Thanks.

I also have Steve Smith, but obviously he isn't available until Week 3. I'm worried about Asante Samuel shutting Holt down, but I think I'm going to roll with him anyway. I think Ryan will eventually be productive, but I'm not sure how productive he's going to be Week 1, which would limit White. My starting QB is Hasselbeck and Burleson is about all that Seattle has at WR, so that is making me think about Burleson at my #2 spot.

Johnson and Holt... Have to go with the best untill proven wrong

Which is what I'm thinking. Hopefully Barber gets me enough against the Brownies that I won't have to even worry about it :biggrin:

Burleson had a good fantasy year only because of TDs last year...if they run it in more, or Hass throws to the TE, or they single cover Taylor, he could be a bust when he doesn't find the end zone. Plus Buffalo is the king of the 8-0 and 15-14 games. Holt always puts up 80-90 catches and 1200 yards, so it's hard to think that he won't produce when his own D is so terrible.

Good points. I think I'll roll with Johnson & Holt. Thanks guys :)
