Pick a shitty WR to start week 14

[eaglesnut]

My otherwise amazing team is gonna get exposed unless I pick the right WR here.

Basically I'm looking for a TD as I don't expect any of these guys to reach 100 yards (for the bonus that makes yards matter). 0.5ppr.
I'd love an 8 point outing from this receiver.

This is a rough list. Think I'll list them how I so far rank them at this specific and arbitrary moment.

Aldrick Robinson @seattle - getting the slot looks against a poor slot defending team.

Michael Gallup vs Eagles - seems to make a couple plays a game now that Cooper is around. Eagles barely cover.

Jaron Brown vs Vikings - since I'm going for a TD why not use the guy that has been best at it.

Amendola vs Patriots - healthy?

Garcon vs Denver - healthy?

Bourne vs Denver - Assuming Garcon is out he would play behind Pettis, but with Chris Harris out, Bourne gets the 3rd or worse corner covering him.

Taywan Taylor vs Jags - he's back, a couple big plays last week and Ramsey will have Corey Davis blanketed.

R. Foster vs Jets - could he get a long one against the leaky Jets?

Higgins vs Panthers - a high scoring game? Browns offense is pretty equal opportunity.

Kirkwood @bucs - saints offense rebound could be glorious for all involved.

Arnold @bucs - same as above

Inman @Hou - could the colts get their #2WR more involved after two subpar outings as an offense.

Any of these TEs better? (it's actually a W/T flex spot):

Rhett Ellison @Redskins - Engram likely out. Eli will give the TE some looks.

Ian Thomas - raw rookie with opportunity in offense with weapons. Could see him left out of it or not.

Mark Andrews @KC, some questions surrounding the offense, but the Chiefs don't cover TEs and Andrews is the top one there.

Eric Swoope @Texans - conversely to the Inman thought, they could stay TE heavy and Swoope could get work with Doyle gone.

I currently have Uzomah, Agholor, or Conley whom I could use and would be dropping Quinn for one of the above FAs.

Any gut feels or deep knowledge out there?

Gallop, I guess. Like I tell SP every week when he trots out this list of unproven guys with potential, your guess is as good as mine. I think Gallop has the big name on the other side of the field that is getting #1 CB attention and is gaining some targets from a solid QB, who has been improving just about every week. I even think he has a shot at 100 yards. Plus, Philly's secondary is pretty banged up right now.

Foster. Just missed another 60 yard bomb this week. Benji is gone.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Gallup too. I agree with Femurov's take.

gallup or garcon. no wr have stepped up in the absence of garcon and goodwin, i think if he is back he gets heavily targeted

Pettis did quite well..?
But yes, Garcon is still the best option if he's on the field.


I'd probably go with Gallup, as i recently have discovered, receivers returning from injury actually playing a full game cannot be assumed.

On a totally unrelated note..FU AJ Green

I sorta like Andrews vs KC. The Chiefs are gonna score points, Baltimore is gonna have to keep up somehow. He was getting more targets before Jackson came on so that's a concern, but he's still a goal line threat if they can get close. And like I said, they're gonna have to keep up somehow so he might have more opportunities this week than Baltimore's current all run approach. This is more just a pure gut call.

pettis did do quite well, i guess i just seee more targets for garcon thats all

Foster. Just missed another 60 yard bomb this week. Benji is gone.

As a guy who likes to spot start these types, I worry about the 0.0 line from a guy like him.

Somewhat related, I traded AJ Green, in a deal to improve my depth, for the disappearing Jeffery and the IR'd Marvin Jones. So here I am.

So far I've picked up Gallup. Might pick up another guy from my list in the OP and drop Conley.
