Who do I start Joey Galloway or Nate Burleson?

Question

I like Galloway's recent history vs New Orleans but he is nursing an injured groin and missed preseason. Burleson should have a big game, but I really don't want to miss out on a big game from Galloway.

I kind of want to start Galloway cause I have Burleson starting in another league and I like hedging my bets. What do you think?

Best and most detailed wins best answer.

Answer 1

i would go with joey galloway. you're right. galloway has had great games against the saints. and he should continue to do so even if he was injured in the preseason. critics compare him to a barrel of dynamite because he's so explosive. he's definitely the one to start this week. burleson will probably see tons of double teams because people haven't seen seattle's running game yet and burleson is one of the few proved seahawk receivers who isn't injured. so he should be covered well by the buffalo defense.

Answer 2

Start Nate Burleson ---- he will be the primary target for Matt Hasselback in the pass-happy Seattle offense.  Also, if you get points for punt/kick returns, Burleson will get you points for that too.

Galloway will be playing injured, but you're right, he does have a good history against the Saints.

To be honest, either one should serve you good this week.

Answer 3

burleson

Answer 4

EASY, go with Burleson.

He is the clear No. 1 WR on a passing team with a great QB in Hasselbeck.  Joey is older now and his production will be very poor in most weeks.

Go with the safe choice AND the greater upside in Nate Burleson.
