Yes I know it is sad that these are my 2 choices to start this week at my 2nd WR spot, but I am absolutely decimated by injuries and byes for the next couple of weeks. So what should I do?
I personally think Hixon has superstar potential, as he was beast in the preseason and was hyped all week last week, and performed great in place of Plax last week. But Plax is back now and Toomer is pretty much gaurenteed the other starting spot.
On the other hand, Crayton has big play potential, but he is either hit or miss. He would have been shut out last week if not for the lucky TD catch against Cincy. I still feel like he is due for a big game as he has been pretty much shut down all year.
What ya got for me ES?

Oh yeah, and to let everyone know how bad it is for me this week,
Both of my RB's (LJ and Willie Parker) are on byes, and my top 3 WR's (Boldin, Chambers, and B Lloyd) are out.
My 2 starting RB's this week are Michael Pittman and Kevin Faulk. And my tweener RB is Cedric Benson. haha
My first WR is Vince Jackson (which might work out ok for me since Chambers is out), and I have no clue who I should go with between the other 2 as my 2nd starter.

Geeez...with all those injuries it doesn't matter who you will play - Hixon or Crayton...you are going to lose anyway :)
...and I thought I had it bad this week with Chambers out and Willie Parker on a bye week...
I'd go with Crayton for the reasons you mentioned - Plax is back so he and Toomer will get most of the looks now.

Hixon. Crayton never really does anything, and Hixon at least has potential to do well.

You are prolly right... Im hoping Denver gets a lot of goal line opps for Pittman because he is money in the red zone. Faulk blew up last week in the same situation so maybe the Pats will stick to that.
Marvin Lewis has a hard on for Benson right now, so maybe he will see some more action and some goal line opps.
Then V Jack is prolly good for 60 yds and TD in place of Chambers.
So yeah, basically I need McNabb, Cooooooley, Baltimore D, and Jax K Scobee to have huge games tomorrow.
Ive seen crazier stuff in the past though. So maybe it can be done.

I'd go with Hixon. I have Vincent Jackson as well but he is kinda banged up, so I picked up Crayton off waivers and immediately dropped him(for Randle El). He basically does not get the ball as you've mentioned. Owens, Witten, and even Miles Austin get the ball more than him. Plus you don't wanna have to cheer for a Cowdung.

I benched Vincent Jackson in favor of Randle El. :doh: Didn't matter though, I got 130.94 points, and Randle El did quite well with 11.2 points. So I only left 11.7 points on the bench(Jackson had 21.9 points). A lot, but I crushed my opponent anyway. Crayton had a nice game today too, hope you went with him.

I thought it was Steve Smith but I don't remember.
Crayton will probably be listed as the #2 WR, but he in reality he is a #4 also...behind TO, Witten and Barber.
