monty burns Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 i need to start 2 of these 4 WR. h.ward vs. indy, e.wiliford vs. arizona, k.curtis vs. houston, or d.branch vs. KC. i'm leaning toward wiliford and curtis due to match-ups but this is a tough week to choose. any comments are welcome.

splotchman Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 All 4 are good options. Ward will be solid b/c Big Ben wil be back and Steelers will be playing from behind and throwing. He is the primary option in passing yards, but has been yielding TDs to Heath Miller. Branch has been on fire lately oand plays the Chiefs. Pats haven't been able to run the ball well, so Brady has been throwing a ton. I think this game is gonna be the shootout of the weekend. I'd definitely play Branch if the weather holds ... somebody mentioned 80% chance of rain in another thread. Other downside is that Brady spreads the ball around, but with David Givens out, Branch has picked up the slack. Wilford has a fantastic matchup against Arizona, but ball will likely be spread around to 'ol man Jimmy, Matt Jones, and Wilford. I also think that Greg Jones gets a ton of touches, as Arizona can be run on. K.Curtis is in a similar situation to Wilford in that he has a stellar matchup and also competes with a bunch of other great options (Holt, Bruce, & Jackson) for the ball. In the end, you can't go wrong with any of these options. However, if the weather holds in KC, I'd play Branch and Ward. If weather gets nasty in KC, play Ward and Curtis.

The current weather at weather.com for Kansas City, MO is 80% chance of thunderstorms and 16 mph winds for sunday. They show it raining at 3 PM but not at Noon when the game kicks off. I like Ward and Branch, but if the weather is bad in KC, go with Curtis and Ward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
