The guy I am playing against has Eli, Manning and Plexaco Burress. I have choice of A. Toomer of the Giants or J.Jones of Green Bay as my #3 options this week. I was thinking to play Toomer as my #3 to block my opponent in case he throws a TD to him. Also to match points for rec/pas yards. This is a strategy in fantasy play that can work but it can also blow up in your face if the other choice has a better day. Most Fantasy sites are ranking Jones ahead of Toomer this week due to the Packers playing Minnesota. I have Farve as my QB and was looking at Jones for a hookup. He is a no.3 option for Farve where Toomer is a no.2 option for Manning. Toomer faces Dallas, he had over 90 yards rec. last meeting. Who would you play and why?

it doesn't matter what the other team has, only who can get you the most points b/c you can't change anything about the other team. Toomer will probably get you the most points b/c its going to be a shootout with the cowboys. driver and jennings are the main targets in GB and toomer has been getting a lot of looks lately.

Dallas is playing better defense than the first time they played the Giants.I'd go with Toomer.This one is a tough call. Toomer is a solid sleeper every week, especially when defenses key on covering Plax and Shockey. I think Toomer is the better play because they won't be able to run it in. Eli will need to pass for short TD's. Shockey will get swarmed which will leave Toomer open.Before last week I would have said use Jones, Favre has been on fire, and the Vikings pass defense has been really bad. But they played much better against SD last week and eliminated the SD passing game. Favre is much better than Rivers, but he will be under alot of pressure this week. Look for dumpoffs to the big TE's and his quick backs. Favre will take many chances down field but they will be to Jennings.

You have to go with Jones, Green Bay has the worst rush game in the league and that`s all that they really do is pass. I also think in this situation that Jones for the time being is the better number two regardless so.......Play Jones. On the other hand tamper your expectations regardless of who you play . If Minnesota had a QB they would be right in there with the Lions and Green bay as far as a record goes and Dallas has the better secondary without a doubt, trust me, stay away from Toomer this week.

Being a huge Packer fan, I have followed them closely this year, as well as every other year. Jones is good and will only get better. However, Jennings is the hot hand right now and Driver is Favre's possession receiver. I see Jones taking the back seat every week and I don't see him being a big part of the game plan. Toomer on the other hand may not get you the yards you would like, but I would take him this week based on the TD possibilities. With Dallas rolling coverage to Burress, that should leave Toomer 1 on 1. I would take that any day. Either way you go, good luck.
