    yes....although id rather settle for Bobby Engram as he get more redzone looks (check out the 07' stats)

    Saying you pick a player off the waiver wire means absolutely nothing to me. In some leagues, you can pick up Torry Holt off waivers. In other leagues, you're looking at Greg Camarillo as your best option. All depends on who you cut an who else was available. Branch has upside, but it's tough to tell what he can give you.

    He would be the best available in my league for sure. I think Brandon Lloyd and Antwan Randel El were also available.

    He is big for me this week with Cotchery on a BYE and Boldin hurt. I am happy with the move.

    Don't put much hope in Branch for this one week. He's still going to be limited, and he hasn't played in a while. Lloyd isn't going to play either.

    I honestly think Chris Henry is a sleeper to have a nice game this week. He's going to play a big role in Cincy, and chances are they will be behind. Palmer is playing.

    definitely worth a look if the next best thing is lloyd...i wouldn't expect much this week, but he should get better. Engram is deintely the better of the two depending on injury.

    My receivers this week will be: Terrell Owens, Reggie Wayne, Hines Ward, and Deion Branch with Cotchery and Boldin on my bench.
