Fantasy Football Line Up Question ...
Jeremy Maclin @ Washington
or,
Jordy Nelson @ Tampa Bay
I have changed my line-up 3 times, as I can't decide, and will probably change it 3 more times before Saturday.
I like both receivers and both have been the difference in getting me to the Championships. Both receivers are facing relatively weak defenses. Both are liked and trusted by their Quarterback.
Maclin put up 8 catches for 154 and 1 TD against Washington earlier in the season; but Nelson hasn't faced TB this year, but didn't impress against the Vikings that have a comparable Defensive back field.
Nelson, lately, he has been a 3 catch for 35 yards and 1 catch for a 85 yard TD, kind of guy ... Maclin is a 6 catch for 100+, sometimes scoring, sometimes not, every outing, kind of guy; but Sanchez is no Rodgers.
Usually, when the numbers are this close, I go to the intangibles to decide ... and this week, it's no help ... Nelson is coming off a real stinker of a week - 5 drops, including a 95 yard certain TD that he just straight dropped ... Nelson will be looking for redemption; but Maclin is coming into this week to a bunch of criticism of the Eagles' receiving corp, ... he'll be out to prove folks wrong, but the truth is Maclin IS the Eagles' receiving corps.
The only thing that might set the two apart is the weather MIGHT be better in TB, than Washington!
What are your thoughts?
