Early Sunday Morning fantasy football question

[Champ]

I started Drew Bledsoe over Michael Vick. Every week I wait for him to have a big week, but Bledsoe has been awful this year as well. But Vick vs Denver compared to Bledsoe vs Arizona made me take the risk. The question is here is what my lineup looks now(These have been my most consistent recievers.

Ashley Lelie vs ATL
Marvin Harrison vs KC
Brandon Stokely vs KC

My bench showcases
Plaxico Burress who will likely get more balls thrown his way more then usual against the New England defense. Because cover specialist Ty Law will be guarding Heines Ward.

Larry Fitzgerald
He has excellent hands and with Anquan coming back he may benefit from a pass efficient offense.

Anquan Boldin(I picked him from free agency)
He makes his debut against Buffalo today, last year he lead the NFC in receptions. He may continue from where he left off in 2003.

I have too many wr's due to injuries to Steve Smith, Rex Grossman, Quintin Griffin, and many others.

Which 3 would you play today?

1. My 3 WR picks

Plax
Harrison
Fitzgerald

But that's who I would pick. Personally, I don't like starting two receivers from the same team the same week.

2. Lelie, Harrison, Fitz.

Stokely and Fitz is a tough call, but I'm going to favor Fitzgerald who has seen a general improvement almost every week this year. With the return of (as you noted) Boldin, this makes for a good chance for a 100+ and a touchdown game for the high-press rookie. I think that there is also a very good argument for Stokely, Harrison, Fitz instead of my topic choices.

Boldin is just far too much of a risk. A lot of what makes an injury so troublesome for players is not just the physical aspect, but the mental aspect. Sometimes it takes a while for a player to get back to playing at their peak ability, and you can never judge that until you just get to see the player running around in a real game. So wait on Boldin for a while, see how he plays today and next week.

Burress is an idiot, he can't help but talk trouble everytime he opens his mouth. Expect another incredibly dissapointing week from him. I wouldn't take him into consideration until he begins posting solid numbers once again. He'a a no-play for the rest of the season until he shows marked improvement.

As far as your QB question goes, that's a tough one. You don't have anyone on the wire that you could possibly grab? Vick has not been putting up numbers AT ALL, but Bledsoe is absolutely terrible. I recognize the attraction of playing just about any Quarterback against the Arizona Cardinals... But Bledsoe is terrible, and the Cardinals having been showing signs of life, and also have been getting a lot (14) takeaways this year. It could be devastating.

Check your waivers. Harrington, Rattay, Testeverde, Roethlisberger, etc. Make sure there isn't somebody you could hot switch in to your lineup so you aren't scrimped at QB position.

3. The next best available QB is

Jonathan Quinn or Billy Volek. There is Brad Johnson but Griese has been starting for Tampa.

I agree about Boldin that is what I was planning on doing anyways, waiting a week to see how he performs. I was leaning your way actually, I think Harrison is going to have a big game against the KC defense and Fitzgerald could have a big game with a Denny Green offense that is improving every week. But I'm pretty confident, I think Bledsoe will get about 200-250 yards, and 1-2 TD's. Vick a young QB in a new offense could struggle against the #2 ranked Defense. That is why I'm leaning that way on the QB spot.

4. I lost Steve Smith too

and I'm pretty weak at receiver.

I'd pick:
Lelie: he finally seems to be showing the promise we've (I'm a bronco fan too) been hearing about for a couple of years now. His last couple games have been nice.

Burress: I have Ward, and lately I've been jealous of the numbers Plexico has been putting up.

Harrison: barring an injury I haven't heard about, it seems hard to go wrong with that.

I've got Ward, Donald Driver and Brent Lloyd. So no matter who you start, you're probably in better shape than me. ;)
