We turn to Michael Fabiano over at
NFL.com Fantasy Mailbag
NFL
.com for some more Mailbag Q&A.I’m in a must-win situation this weekend and need to start one of the following three wide receivers: DeSean Jackson, Miles Austin and Sidney Rice. Who should I choose? — H. Bada, Canada
M.F.: I’m not suggesting that Austin is going to produce another gigantic stat line as he’s done in each of his last two games, but how in the world do you bench a player when he’s this hot? This is a very close call, because Rice and Jackson are also producing at a high level for their respective teams. But I’d have to go with Austin based on his recent immense success, an obvious rapport with quarterback Tony Romo, an increase in targets and a matchup against Seattle’s questionable pass defense.
The Romo to Austin connection is hot. Check out how Austin (Powers) got Romo’s mojo back for him. Yeah, baby!
Another Q&A:
Which tight end I should start the rest of the season: Greg Olsen or Vernon Davis. I got killed this past week by starting Olsen over Davis, but I’m thinking about trading Davis for a decent running back while he’s hot. Let me know what you think. Thanks! — J. Rupnick, Milwaukee, Wis.
M.F.: I don’t know how you can’t take Davis ahead of Olsen now and for the remainder of the season. Olsen has been a disappointment from a fantasy perspective, while Davis is finally meeting the expectations he’s had since he came out of Maryland. However, if you can deal Davis now and upgrade at the running back position, I think that’s a viable move. Like Austin in Dallas, Davis is a tremendous sell-high candidate right now. He leads all receivers in touchdown catches with six after finding the end zone three times in last week’s loss to the Houston Texans. Should you be able to deal him to improve a weaker part of your roster, I’d make the move and continue to start Olsen.
Go on over and read the whole thing.
