cnewaves Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Joe Horn (probable) vs Buf D. Jerry Porter vs Dal D. Usually a no brainer for me but this week I want to go with Porter. Its just hard to sit Horn. I need someone to help me feel better about doing it. What do you think guys....?? 1 pt. per catch 1 pt. per 10 yds. 6 pt. per TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmaniac Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I have a similar problem with a banged up Horn against a tough Buf D. Hard to sit him as he is usually a no-brainer start but Porter should do well against Dallas. If you are ever going to sit Horn this is probably the safest match-up to do so. Everyone has been lighting up the Dallas secondary, why not Porter. I think you can get away with putting Horn on your bench this week.

The Weasel Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Boy, that is tough. I would keep an eye on Horn's status and start him anyway, but I can see merit in maniac's logic. I just hate sitting a stud because it always comes back to haunt me. JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondop Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Yeah, that's a tough call. I actually like Porter a little better this week, because of the matchup and, let us not forget, Porter's really good. who's your number one WR this week?

Chargerz Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I'd still go with an injured Horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slusy Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Horn was banged up most of last year, was probable with some injury or another almost every week, and was still one of the top 5 receivers. Go with Horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disgruntled_Postmen Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 (edited) Joe Horn (probable) vs Buf D. Jerry Porter vs Dal D. Usually a no brainer for me but this week I want to go with Porter. Its just hard to sit Horn. I need someone to help me feel better about doing it. What do you think guys....?? 1 pt. per catch 1 pt. per 10 yds. 6 pt. per TD 1036241[/snapback] The Saints will try to run the ball as much as possible. This will force the Bills to bring more up to help the run... leaving Horn in some 1 on 1 matchups. The Bills will not be able to score... and the Saints will end up running the ball to control the clock... Horn will not get a ton of looks this week, but he could have a couple big ones. Porter on the other hand is going against a relatively poor pass D that will be focused on stopping Randy Moss... not that they will stop him, but they will try. And Oak will heave the ball to Randy a few times regardless of how many are covering him. Porter will benefit from all of the attention that Moss will get... he will get some looks and I like his chances of getting in the endzone. Horn is a stud, yes... but I have had him on my rosters before and he will throw up a few donuts on your scoreboard. This will be one of those weeks. Porter is also a stud... up until Randy Moss showed up in Oakland. I can see Porter abusing the Dallas secondary. This week only I say.... go with Porter.

I would never sit a stud unless he's out, or in favor of another stud (and Porter doesn't qualify). If you are in a league that requires a TE, Conwell would be a good pick up given that Takeo Spikes is out of commission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnewaves Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 Thanks guys...ESPN says Horn is out this week so it looks like porter. I hope I heard them right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
