    Gents,

    I wound up with Fitzgerald, Roy Williams, Hines Ward and Eddie Royal. I even have Breason and Harvin. I can start a third receiver as a flex. I am mixed between Royal and Ward.

    Also, is Roy Williams going to be the guy in Dallas? Let me know what you would do with this situation. ON a side note, there are not trades allowed.

    Instead of picking a set starting 3, why not jockey them around weekly over the course of the season based upon what defense/secondary they are playing?

    Yep. Start whoever's playing the worst Ds in week 1 then gauge form and opponents weekly from there.

    So, if I understand correctly, you've already drafted, have 6 very nice WRs, but can only start 3 per week.
    Well, Fitzgerald is obviously a lock every week unless he breaks both legs. Williams is also a near-lock. Now last year Royal would've been the easy pick for me, but not w/out Cutler. I actually think Harvin , when all is said and done, will be the best out the remaining 4 WR options.

    For me Fitz and Royal are your locks.

    I guess I'd go with Roy as your 3rd.

    You consider Royal a lock? I have Reggie Wayne, Jericcho Cotchery, Ted Ginn, and Eddie Royal.... I'm allowed to start two WRs. I thought Reggie Wayne and Cotchery were the obvious choices.... do people here think that Eddie Royal should start instead of Cotch????

    He may have Orton now instead of Cutler but he still had 995 yards in his ROOKIE season which is fantastic for a rookie wr. With all the Marshall trouble he's been getting all the time as the #1 and he has been GREAT all of pre-season so far. I expect him to do better than Cotch and Ginn...just hope I'm wrong.

    I'd like more opinions on 'Cotchery or Royal'.

    There were reports Roy Williams broke his collarbone yesterday but then xrays were negative whic surprised everybody. He is pretty banged up though and was sent home to ice it.

    Royal is a more than a lock if its a ppr league.

    I think you start with Royal, this could be Ward's drop-off year (ala Harrison, Holt - obviously he was never as productive as them, but you get my drift).

    Williams is not the man in Dallas, Romo is, then Witten, then Barber, then F. Jones, then Williams. He's still a virtual must start with Romo passing to him though, unless he's injured as ^ post mentioned.

    The point is that Orton is a joke. I think we'll see that Cutler made Royal a lot better than he is this year.

    I agree with that statement. I think Royal will improve as a WR but his stats won't really go up much due to Orton being his QB. Also, like I said he is getting work as the #1 target and as we learned today he WILL play in the regular season as the #1. (like I expected)

    Royal value is going to be tied to what happens with the Brandon Marshall situation. Right now I doubt Marshall is going anywhere.
