Sidney Rice or Justin Gage

[Trickster]

I drafted Sidney Rice as a sleeper. Justin Gage is available on the waiver wire. The only reason I am debating to pick up Gage is due to the fact that my WR3 is Kevin Walter, who is injured and really the extent of it is unknown (worries me). Also, my only other WR on bench is Josh Morgan, who is another sleeper and still needs to prove himself. Would you consider dropping Sidney Rice and picking up Justin Gage? Problem is, probably wouldn't do me any good in week 1 because TEN plays PIT

Yes I would do that. I don't believe in Rice at all, especially with Harvin there. Gage is still the starter in Tenn, and Washington is hurt. I would make that move in a heart beat

Yes, take Gage, as he was the top Wr in Tenn while washington was healthy. They keep trying to replace him but he is still the best option for Collins, and Washington will just be good for a Homerun or two, when back. I did like what I saw out of Rice on Monday, but the TE is also a consideration there. I realize Cook and Scaife are on Tennessee, but when you list all of the weapons on both squads and realize they are both run first teams, it is easy to see that Gage will have more opputunity for impact.

i like gage over rice too . . . especially with hot sauce . . . lol . . .

walters is listed as day to day . . . hamstring tweak . . . i expect him in the starting lineup for wk 1 . . .

I agree as well. I am more worried about dropping Rice then him having a good year. But honestly, after watching that MNF game, I don't see Favre going to him that often. But we'll see.

Both are mediocre WR options IMO, but Gage will probably see more touches and hence be more valuable than Rice.
