bsmurray06 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I know this probably is crazy, but Jared Cook has at leas 4 receptions in each game this season. Since my league is 2 pts per reception, would I be out of my mind to play Cook over Gates this week and maybe going forward if the consistent targets continue?

stonychavez Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I wouldn't say you're crazy, Cook has looked like Austin Davis' security blanket. Also, Rivers has been spreading the ball around like a pro. Royal, Floyd, Allen, Gates all have gotten looks and inconsistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonychavez Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 That tool projects Austin Davis at 5 points this week. We'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmurray06 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Thanks guys, I want to trust Gates but need consistency. Rivers is starting to be a lot like Brees and spread it around so much. We'll see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcat Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 the Jets are the league's worst against TEs. Worst. You're nuts if you sit Gates. Gates = 80 yards and a TD, probably two TDs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmurray06 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 I'm convinced, Gates starts today. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoFo Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Gates, when healthy and with the offense running at full steam (which it is), is the very definition of consistency. Meanwhile, Jared Cook is fantasy poison. To me, the choice is clear. Edited October 5, 2014 by MrMoFo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmurray06 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Last 2 weeks have been anything but consistent. Even in a 2 point ppr Gates has generated 11 points total. He gets this week to show me different, but if Cook scores more fantasy points based on my league he is my new starter. When 6 catches equals 12 points I could care less if he gets a 5 yard TD and then disappears for the rest of the game. I need multiple targets consistently.

Well, then you've answered your own question, then. I always go with my gut when the facts tell a variety of stories, and the answer could go either way. And your gut is clearly telling you that Gates is not going to give you what you need today. Far be it from us to tell you otherwise, especially given Gates's lack of targets over the past two games. That said, my advice is Gates over Cook. But no advice is foolproof, obviously.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmurray06 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 I appreciate the advice, wouldn't bother you guys if I didn't respect it. He just concerns me because he's been a ghost the last 2 weeks. I want to trust him. Thanks for all advice, it is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
