Who would you start in Fantasy Football week 1...Calvin Johnson or Nate Burleson?

Question

Both are going against meager defenses but both have iffer QB's this season too. Both have just ok running games. Nate is the #1 in SEA while Calvin is behind Roy. Who would you start week 1? My other reciever is Holt, fyi.

Answer 1

right now, I would start Calvin. Im really worried about Matt Hasselback and his injury status. Kitna has shown the ability to light it up when needed, and even without mad mike martz being the off coordinator, Calvin should get a lot of looks

Answer 2

Burleson the whole way. Look what he's done in the pre-season without hasselback as QB. Don't get me wrong, Calvin is a solid option...but I think this is the week where Burleson could put up some good numbers. I'd go with Burleson. Trust me - you'll regret it if you don't.

Answer 3

Until Seattle reestablishes a healthy WR corp and a rushing attack hasselback is going to be under a lot of pressure to create something on offense. Burleson will be his best option, but there's not a whole lot else to look at. Johnson on the other hand is working on nudging Williams out the door. I think this season his production out matches Williams, although they are both top wide receivers. Of course both of their stats will drop due to the loss of pass happy Martz as coach, but I'd still say Johnson over Burleson. He has a lot more upside.

Answer 4

Calvin is not really behind Roy. He is a must start over Burleson.



Very High Scoring Potential Game.

Might be the next Randy Moss/TO

Answer 5

the two will do solid for you, nate burleson might have extra because of the fact he's concentrated extra yet percy harvin is concentrated extra whilst they are searching for touchdowns yet i say nate yet the two are solid
