Week Seven Pick Up

He's Buster. Not a bust. 
So it's a bye week and you need a wide receiver to replace Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon, Austin Collie, Santonio Holmes, or Braylon Edwards production? May I interest you in a Buster, notice I didn't say bust, Davis of the San Diego Chargers?

Because of injuries Davis looks likely to be the best threat the Chargers will have on the field Sunday against the Patriots. Signs are pointing towards Legedu Naanee, Malcolm Floyd, and even Antonio Gates being questionable for game time leaving the door open for Davis to be the recipient of Phillip River's throws. Playing this role last week against the Rams Davis scored 1 touchdown on 3 receptions for 39 yards. Although a big game isn't expected from Davis a good points day is, and should really only be kept for this week as your other studs will return next week and so will the Chargers main receiving threats.

Other wide receivers of note:

  • Deion Branch, NE Patriots: 9/98 and a score looks awfully good.
  • Jabar Gaffney, Denver Broncos: the most consistent Broncos WR thus far has a very nice matchup this week against Oakland. 
  • Steve Johnson, Buffalo Bills: although the matchup doesn't look good, the Baltimore Ravens, he does have 4 touchdowns in his last 3 games.
  • Danario Alexander, St. Louis Rams: yeah it's just one game, but with his big frame he could become Bradford's go-to-guy.
