The Guru Gridiron Report: Week 3 Bench/Start WRs and TEs

Week 3 is a pivotal week and one that is more important then most think. At this point you are either 2-0, 0-2, or 1-1. If you are 2-0 that's great, but a lost would heavily tarnish the record at this point, so perfection is the only option in your eyes. If you are 0-2 you cannot fall to 0-3 as its very hard to claim out from under and 1-2 is still very salvageable for the season. If you are 1-1 this could will be the first defining moment of the season. Do you take a step forward to 2-1 or go backwards and fall below .500.

Now we may be over exaggerating albeit, but the bottom line is its a good week to win and we will help you with our weekly selections using the our patented True Guru Equation (The variable definitions are the secret):

WIDE RECEIVERS AND YOU MUST START
Wide Receivers are taking over the league at this point. We like several this week including Roddy White. This is a game for him to breakout in. Steve Smith is back and ready for action and he should be dominant this week against Minnesota. Another WR we like is Justin Gage against Houston. With Collins throwing to him he can easily get 1 TD nearly every week as long as Collins can stay off his back. Despite the match up we like Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin. You just have to start them. Finally, we love Wes Welker this week. He should get a ton of pass targets against his old team Miami. Braylon Edwards will catch a Touchdown this week. Just watch and start him with confidence. Finally, we like DeSean Jackson this week against Pittsburgh. He wants to make amends for his mistake last week and over matches Pitts defense.
Others: Andre Johnson, Eddit Royal, Brandon Marshall, Plaxico Buress, Calvin Johnson, Jerricho Cotchery, Terrell Owens, Greg Jennings

WIDE RECEIVERS AND TIGHT ENDS YOU MUST START

Jason Witten, Antonio Gates, John Carlson, LJ Smith

Other WIDE RECEIVERS To Consider Starting With Some Risk
We like Randy Moss this week, but he carries some risk with the "Cassel" factor. Can Cassel get him the long ball? This is a match up for Moss to exploit. We also think Dwayne Bowe can fine the end zone with whomever is throwing to him. Even though Palmer will be running for his life most of the game, Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh should catch some passes. We see T.J. finding then end zone, but we aren't sure for Chad Johnson. This is a must win for Cincinnati, so they will be pulling out everything. Joey Galloway is another WR we like this week. He matches up well against the Chicago Bears secondary, so start him. If you need a 1 week start, go with Amani Toomer. He should catch a TD and about 100 yards.
Others: Benard Berrian, DJ Hacket, Lee Evans, Brandon Lloyd. Santana Moss, Reggie Wayne, Reggie Williams (Check injury status), Roy Williams, Santonio Holmes, Patrick Crayton, Donald Driver, Torry Holt, Keary Colbert

Other TIGHT ENDS To Consider Starting With Some Risk

Dante Rosario, Bo Scaife, Jeremy Shockey, Robert Royal, Vernon Davis, Chris Colley

Please Bench These WIDE RECEIVERS
This is the part everyone hates, benching your guys. Sidney Rice you have to bench. Frerotte will look for Berrian most of the day, not Rice. Ike Hillard won't do much against the Bears so sit him. We cannot reccomend starting Koran Robinson until we see him play.

Others: Kevin Walters, Antwaan Randle El, Marvin Harrison, Jerry Porter, Greg Lewis, Jason Avant, Hines Ward, Lavernues Coles

Please Bench These TIGHT ENDS

Alge Crumpler, Merecedes Lewis, Bubba Franks, Donald Lee.

Sleeper WIDE RECEIVERS
We have a few sleepers we like this week. First we like Derrick Mason against Cleveland. Baltimore could fall behind quickly and will go to the air. Ronald Curry is another. We think he's good to catch one bomb from Russell, but not much more. We also like the chemistry forming between Chansi Stuckey and Brett Farve. Start him. A couple of more sleepers, Josh Morgan (49ers) and Donnie Avery of the Rams.

Good luck. Next are our Defenses!
