Eddie Royal or Louis Murphy??

[redseat]

I know with Royal he is one streaky SOB but he is going up against the Raiders defense, which lets face it isn't any good.

Murphy is a hit or miss guy because they really don't have a QB...

So which one should I start this week. I HATE how one starts and 1 and the other at 4:25

The last time I didn't start Royal and he went off.... Is he capable versus the Raiders to do the same? I would think so, no?

Royal, based on upside. Louis Murphy is going to be hurt by the fact that Glennon LOVES Vincent Jackson, so I wouldn't count on him for more than 4-5 targets.

Sorry should have started with I have BOTH of these guys already on my team. I was just looking to see which one I should start. I don't know if those ^^ are available

Isn't Kendall Hunter on IR?

Odell Beckham is on the wire

He meant Justin Hunter.

Beckham is a good choice, IMO.

Agree.. to both statements. You're stabbing in the dark either way but I'd rather have Hunter and Beckham on my fisted to choose from than Royal and Murphy

I like royal a lot... He gets branded for disappearing last season, but the difference between last season and this season is that Royal has been getting consistent targets, and don't see that changing...

As for Beckham, the giants are best when there running game is good... And if they run a lot, and now with a bowling bowl, they will likely run at the goal line... not to mention that is donnell territory too... And victor Cruz is still the Big play guy... so I don't see any consistency with Beckham, he will get his games, but I see him getting 4 points more often than 6 or more... Would certainly not count on him...

Wright and Hunter, it seems like Wright gets more catches and more targets, even though I think Hunter is the better potential, he is just too inconsistent to ever rely on... I also don't see the titan offense to be anything special...

I would prefer royal over all WRs stated, he is in the best offense, with the best QB, and he gets just as many targets if not more than the others mentioned...

Target counts for all mentioned
Royal-6, 10, 6, 7, 3
Murphy (only 2 games rostered)-11,7
Hunter-8, 6, 7, 5, 5
Wright-7, 5, 10, 8, 8
Beckham (1 game active)-5

Minus Beckham because of the small sample size, the others are are all much more consistently targeted, have less competition for targets within their own teams, haven't begun to disappear (3 targets last week is beginning to disappear), and aren't playing the Raiders, a team that you don't have to throw on to beat handily.

Oh, did not know Justin Hunter... My Bad. He isn't available though.
