Niles Paul or Delanie Walker?

[Spedizzo]

Who should I start this week? Niles Paul @ Eagles or Delanie Walker @ Bengals?

With Cousins in, DeSean Jackson out, I feel like Paul will get a lot more targets. He has done exceptionally well the first 2 weeks. I also do not think the Eagles pass defense will be as strong as the Bengals. However, I think Delanie Walker is breaking out right now as a dominant player.






My team right now:

Nick Foles - QB
Mike Wallace - WR
Julian Edelman - WR
Brian Quick - WR
Eddie Lacy - RB
Reggie Bush - RB
Rob Gronkowski - TE
Delanie Walker - TE
Dan Carpenter - K
Carolina - DEF

Bench:
AJ Green - WR (Probably will be out Week 3, if he is good to play I will probably switch him and Brian Quick).
Anquan Boldin - WR
Phillip Rivers - QB
Steve Smith Sr. - WR
Bernard Pierce - RB
Niles Paul - TE

This is a good question actually. It's definitely a coin flip. But, you do have to choose one. I'd probably go with Walker. Paul is still kind of an unknown while Walker has a slightly better track record overall.

Baltimore's TEs destroyed Cincinnati in Week 1. ATL's didn't do anything against them in Week 2, because they have no TEs really.

Cincy has good D and Locker will need to get ball out fast. I think Walker is the smarter choice and whatever happens, happens. Besides, Paul will be back to splitting time duties next week anyway, might as well roll out Walker in the midst of his hopeful breakout campaign and hope to get rewarded vs. tough defense where check downs will be the continued usual norm for Locker & Co.

good analysis

was leaning that way

I will pull the trigger on that theory barring any injuries

thanks mate

Lol, is this even a discussion? Walker and not even close, good luck.

In most cases it wouldn't be a discussion

but Niles Paul is doing good, Cousins is targetting him a lot, and Eagles pass defense is suspect

Walker is a beast right now, but he is on the road against a tough Bengals defense

Colts TEs did nothing against Philly. Cousins is going to target Paul in the check down game a lot, that has been proven. However, Cincy attacks on DEF and Locker doesn't really look down field a lot anyway.

It's definitely worthy of a discussion I think. Really close TEs for Week 3 I think based on Cousins playing over RG3…but overall, safer and more consistent option is just put Walker out there and hope he does better than Reed. Either way, they should be comparable production this week so you shouldn't miss out on too much either way.

My projections this week have Walker 13.4, Paul 12.6 (PPR)
