I need to pick two out of the three following receivers to start next week:

Kevin Curtis
Reggie Wayne
Brandon Marshall

Which two do you think I should start?

Wayne and Marshall...Curtis, while he had a monster day, it was a fluke. Wayne and Marshall will be consistant. Marshall seems like he's the #1 option in Denver too.

Thanks man, my only concern with starting Wayne is that he is going up against Denver's D which is #1 against the pass thus far. Granted they haven't played great teams, but his production has dropped off the past couple weeks against worse pass D's.

As for Curtis, I figure last week was a fluke too, but they are going up against that terrible Giants pass D. I know they shut us down, but we have a less experienced QB and an inJured Oline. So these are the only reasons I have been thinking about Curtis over Wayne...I just keep going back and forth about it. AHH!!!

Reggie Wayne torched the Broncos last year to the tune of 10 catches, 138 yrads, and 3 TDs

1- Well, if there is one thing you will never see me do, it's underestimate the Colts offense. I honestly feel it's the best offense year in and year out that the planet has ever seen. So I will always take the Colts offense vs any defense. We've seen them pick apart the best of defenses.

2- As SS pointed out, Wayne had a monster day vs Denver last year and that day he had the most catches, yards and TD's since 2004 vs Green Bay. (although it is worthy to note that the 3 td's was the only time in his career he scored 3 tds vs any team in his career)

3- Curtis had career highs last week. His previous career highs were in 05 with 9 catches and 105 yards. Also, that was his first multiple TD game in his career.

4- (a)That being said, Phily does not like to pick a #1 WR, they spread it around a lot. Look at 06, Reggie Brown had a career day 6 rec, 121 yrds, 2 tds, the next week he had 4 rec, 77 yards and 1 td, the next 4 weeks he had a total of 6 receptions.

4- (b)Stallworth had a couple great days as well, 6 rec, 141 yrds and 1 td, next game was 5 for 81, game after that was 1 for 26. He had another big game in 06 of 4 for 111 and 1 td, followed up by 3 for 31 and 1 td.

4- (c)Even T.O. in 05 had 11rec, 171 yds, and 1 td, then followed it up with 5 rec for 50 yards.

In other words, when Phily has a WR that has a career day, they shy away from them the next week. It's POSSIBLE they will get another TD, but they clearly don't target them as much, and since Curtis is not a clear cut great WR, I am expecting them to spread it around, AND I am expecting that the defenses they will face will Target Curtis as their #1 which will severely limit his production.

5- Last but not least, you need to ask yourself what your willing to lose with. Would you be pissed if you did start Curtis and he got 2 catches for 40 yards, and Wayne was on your bench and had 7 catches for 110 yards and 2 tds? I know I'd rather lose with my best talent on the "field". I hate it when I think someone will have a great game and they don't and I lose because of it. Always use what got you there.

Wayne, 5 rec, 38 yrds, 1 td = 14 pts.
Curtis, 2 rec, 21 yrds, 0 td = 4 points.

You're welcome.
