No. 2 WR going forward?

Hey guys,

I'm one of the editors over at Fake Teams the fantasy blog, and I actually wanted some of your advice.

I haven't had a chance to watch the Bengals game from this week, and although I've watched a majority of your gametape, I haven't watched all of them. I'm interested on your opinions of who will be targeted or catching the most balls this week, or for the rest of the way out this season. After Chad, of course.

With Brandon Marshall, Mike Sims-Walker and Nate Burleson all on bye-weeks, I'm taking a chance on Andre Caldwell myself this week. More importantly, I want more opinions on whether to recommend him to readers or not.

He was targeted by Carson nine times this week and as you probably know pulled in six of those balls for catches. Chicago's defense ranks just average (18th) in the league compared to their run defense (6th).

Thanks, and good luck for the rest of the season. Planning on traveling to Cincinnati to see my Chiefs play, which I anticipate could be a real important one for you guys. I'll probably root for you.

Caldwell

He’s probably the most reliable guy here for our number two spot. Going into the season, I would have said Chris Henry, who has #1 receiver ability, but he hasn’t been in enough snaps to take over that #2 spot. Caldwell will be consistent and I think could get you 5-7 TD catches on the year and maybe 50-75 receiving yards a game.

This is our year!

Coles...

Coles has been seeing the ball more lately, but has a number of drops on the season. I agree, Caldwell is the most reliable #2 guy we have

Agreed

Caldwell is best option. You’ll really root against your own team?

Too difficult to say

After Chad, it is difficult to say who will be targeted/catch the ball the most. Caldwell looks to be the go to guy on third down, but all of Henry’s catches seem to be on third down as well (3rd and long). Coles is out there pretty much the whole game (running and passing plays) and has been getting more involved lately. Carson likes to spread the ball around (as you can see by all of the tight end drops) so its tough to say who will get the most opportunities. To be honest, I wouldn’t take a gamble on Coles, Caldwell or Henry just yet. Too many options on this team after Chad.
