Should I?

I have WR L. Coles in 2 of my leagues, and Nate Washington, Nate Burleson, and Chris Henry WR Bengals are all out there. Now mind you Coles is just sitting on my bench, but should I dump Coles for any one of those guys and if yes who?

This is tough.

I like all 3 guys you're looking at, but how do you pick a #3 over a #2 from the same team?

Kinda like choosing Breaston over Bouldin.

Tough to tell about ANY Cincy WR since Palmer hasn't been throwing.

Burleson has looked good the couple of times I've seen him but Seattle scares me and I'm uncertain on the injury status of Washington.

Frankly, I'd stand pat with Coles and hope that Palmer coming back makes the difference.

Boldin is a stud, Lav Coles is far from a stud and I believe he's already suffered some kind of injury this preseason. Not to mention Henry has a much better rapport with Palmer and his backups than Coles has at this point.

All that could be true but someone in Cincinnati still thinks Coles is the #2 and that means he will be on the field more than Henry.

Maybe you should write them a letter and point out their error.

Henry will be on the field with or without Coles. Palmer loves this guy.

If Coles can somehow manage to stay healthy he might have a few more grabs than Henry but I see more redzone and deep looks going to the talented youngster.

If any of these are PPR, then I would hang onto Coles. He will be the slot receiver and replacement of Housh for first downs and inside targets...net more receptions.

If any of these leagues gives you bonuses for long scores, then get Henry...as he will get at least one long one tossed to him per game...as long as Palmer is healthy.

If neither of the above....go with your gut. I am not a Burleson fan...as he tanks or gets hurt every season. Washington I was very high on...but he is already dinged up...and Tenn. just doesn't pass that much...to Wrs anyway. So its up to you between Henry and Coles...If standard scoring...i would probably lean Henry...as he has more chances at Tds than Coles.
