Burleson or Tate

I need a fill in this week.  Who would you start if you had 2 ?

thats tough
pecking order in NE is Welker, branch?  hernandez and Tate
pecking orderin Det is Johnson, Pettigew/Burleson

I guess Burleson is the safer pick but I dont say that with alot of confidence
sorry Bro
GL
can you make a pickup?

Is it PPR league or standard leage?

Flip a coin. Its that close

That's funny it's the exact same choices I'm faced with this week. I'm in a league where 6 make playoffs and I'm currently 7th, so this week is pretty much a must win with the guy I'm facing creeping behind me, and I'm projected to lose 102, 80.

Burleson is more of a slotty receiver, so you can't expect him get get the deep balls, but viable in the RZ. Burleson had a career day last week cuz of Revis Island. I think Calvin will probably have his way this week. Safer pick is definitely Burleson though. They paid him good money to come over this offseason, so they are using him. Keep in mind that Shaun Hill still is starting and you don't know what kind of rust he has.

I'm giving great consideration to Tate. Since I am projected to lose by so much, I need an X factor that has the possiblility of putting up 20 points. He is New Englands only deep threat, but Brady is perfectly content throwing to both TE's, Welker, and Branch. Also have good rapport with woodhead and ellis.

The thing I like is that Pitt's run defense is pretty good, so Brady will have to throw a lot. With an O/U at 46, I would imagine theyare putting up a minimum of 3 TDs each.

If you don't need to take a chance though, I wouldn't play tate. He may give you 0 or 1 point.

I wouldn't worry too much about Brnach. I've been looking at him for over 2 years, and he's good for about 2 catches for 20 yards a game. He's a possession receiver, on a team where they have 3 possession receivers.
