irish Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I have a hard time playing a number 3 wr over a starting running back. I think that Rudi and Grant will get enough touches to out score Hackett. Rudi is playing Buffalo, Grant at KC. KC and Buffalo are in the top 10 for points allowed to RB's. I would probably play Grant. What #3 WR are we talking about Burleson? With Deion Branch out this week, Hackett will be the #1 WR is Seattle with Engram and Burleson behind him. Seattle will throw the ball a ton this week and other than Engram who makes a ton of short grabs, who else is going to be the beneficiary of all those throws.... that's where Hackett comes in.

Thanks, Irish. I hope others are having this issue because there certainly are a lot of opinions in this post. I'm leaning towards hackett regardless of whether or not Grant will start. I think not knowing what Hackett will do vs. wondering what Grant will do is a tough decision. One is coming off his first ever good game, the other is having his first start of the season. Toss up.

wolfdigger Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I go Rudi over Grant. Grant has had one good game in the NFL. Mornecy gets alot of 3rd down receptions. The Packer backfield is crowded. Rudi will split some with Wtason but I am sure they want to get him back into his workload. Watson is also banged up.

onbrake Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I like Rudi toay but Grant will be the better pick for this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyb7 Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 I see your points, but unless Rudi starts and Watson is sitting, I think you have to go with Grant over Rudi. But, it seems that a lot of people feel I should play Hackett since he's essentially the #1 WR after being out since game 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) So Joey, I'm just wondering if you listened to me and started Hackett instead of either Grant or Rudi who he outscored? I was definitely in the minority telling you to start Hackett, so I'm thinking you made the mistake and went with the majority and started either Grant or Rudi. Let me know...

joeyb7 Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 I actually wanted to play Hackett but my co-owner though Grant was the safest.....needless to say, Grant scored 8 less points in our league, but it's not going to make or break it for me this week. Damn though....Engram?? 14 receptions??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
