Shockey or ARE

Shockey's Season Stat line: 8 catches, 76 yards, 0 TDs
ARE's Season Stat line: 11 catches, 126 yards, 0 TDs, 5 punt returns, 21 yds

'Zona defense is ranked 7th, Denver's ranked 23rd. Shockey will create more mismatches than ARE this week. I'd go Shockey in the WR/TE flex spot.

Yeah, but they played San Fran in JT O'Sullivan's first start, and then last week they beat Miami. Not exactly challenging offenses to defend.

I'd probably say Shockey has a much better chance to score a TD, while ARE is likely to have more yards.

Brees and the Saints had a tough time getting the passing game going last week. The Skins knew they didn't have Colston and focused on keeping Shockey covered. Sean Payton loves to pass, and I think he'll find more creative ways to get the ball in Shockey's hands this week. Plus with Colston out, he's by far their best red-zone option with the pass. I think New Orleans' passing game is better than the Chargers, who torched the Broncos defense in Denver last week.

I believe the Redskins can definitely score 4 TDs this week, but I don't see ARE getting any of them. Campbell hit 9 different receivers last weekend, with Moss and Cooley being most frequently targeted. I think he'll have 50-60 yards, but no score.

I give the edge to Shockey for the greater potential to catch a touchdown.

Id look through the waiver wire. Neither player is a stud. Later in the year, I see Shockey picking it up.

Anyone and everyone who touches the ball should be started in that NO @ Denver game. It has shootout written all over it.

We are thin at WR so I would think ARE would get some good opportunities. Shockey might be the better choice down the line but I would go the EL this time.

I am studded out at the other WR positions (Wayne IND, Williams DET, Johnson HOU). The only reason that I am having this issue is because of the injury to Colston. Otherwise Shockey and ARE will never come off of my bench.

After reading the insight from this thread, I think that I am going to stick with Shockey.

If this bites me in the ass it's the majoritys' fault.

both suck... but shockey is a bigger part of the offense, and denver can't defend anyone right now, so i'd take him.

ARE should get more touches and will have bigger plays.

just play shockey, if he plays Brees will hit em.
