Who to start - Crabtree or Garcon (PPR)

[The Sports Scientist]

.5 pts per recept
1 pt per 10 yds
long TD bonus = 1-33 yd td is 6, 34-66 is 9, 67-99 yd td is 12.

Crabtree at home vs saints; Garcon at home vs Giants.

Very similar #s for these defenses in week 1. Giants were 6th in passing D giving up 158 yds, 1 TD, 3 INT. Saints were 10th, 162 yds, 1 td, 1 int.

Last season however the Giants gave up many more TDs.
Giants 2009 - 214 yds per game, 31 TDs, 13 INTs.
Saints 2009 - 235 yds, 15 td, 26 ints.

Can pretty much throw out the INT # because Manning doesnt throw that many of them. Alex Smith, on the other hand, was *totally* lost against Seattle in week 1. Even little dumpoff passes were floating on him.

Mainly for that reason (Manning over Smith) I am leaning Garcon even though I originally put in Crabtree to start. Also - Week 1, Garcon had 10 targets as did Reggie Wayne; Crabtree had 8 (pretty much a wash there, but Davis seems like Smiths go to guy with 12 targets)

BTW, in this league i have 2 WR and 2 Flex spots, other 3 starters are Dallas Clark, Hines Ward, Naanee. Eligible on the bench - Crabtree, Hester, Knox, Chambers, Chester Taylor, Laurent RObinson, Marcedes Lewis.

Thanks guys!

I drafted Crabtree in a couple leagues, and I'm trying to have faith. I do not have Garcon as an option. Too bad for me.

Start Garcon.

i have garcon as my #3 wide out in a 12 team league, i wish i had someone better to start then him, however how often will P. Manning throw that many balls to every receiver on his team... i think we stick with garcon....

Id go with crabtree this week, i just think SF has a lot to prove and Crabtree should get some extra looks. I wonder what he did to lose the faith of his teammates...
