Mike Wallace's line after bitching to the media earlier this year 115 yds & 1 TD

Antonio Brown went for 196 & 2 TDs

Recently, Shorts went off on the Jags
quote:

Speaking Monday, Cecil Shorts did not backtrack on his inflammatory comments from Sunday afternoon. Shorts was livid following his 2/22/0 performance in the loss to the Cardinals, calling his one target until garbage time (expletive) dumb. "I'm going to have to say something and sit down with them because it's getting ridiculous," he said while referring to the coaches. Shorts hasn't had that sitdown yet, but we'd view this as a good thing for his fantasy prospects. Chad Henne should try to grease the squeaky wheel as much as he can against the Texans in Week 12. Nov 18 - 11:36 AM


quote:

Chad Henne suggested getting Cecil Shorts the ball will be a focal point in Sunday's game against the Texans. It's a standard case of the squeaky wheel getting the grease. Shorts saw just one target until garbage time last week and spouted off about it afterward. "Whether this week, we try to move him around to different spot and try to get him the football, we'll do that," Henne said. Shorts is a fine WR3 with upside this week. Nov 21 - 11:05 AM

despite leading the NFL in pass defense, have allowed six touchdowns to opposing wideouts in the past three games.

I'm starting him. It's either him, Jerricho Cotchery, or Reuben Randle. Non PPR league. But I still think he'll get 10-14 looks in this game and hopefully finds the end zone for once in his life. If McGloin can throw for 3 TD's against the Texans, hopefully Henne can do at least the same.

I had a decision between 2 wr's for this week. As soon as Shorts bitched, I put him in the lineup for ppr. Will prob get a lot of targets, just hope he will get open.

Y'all are killing me. I had decided to demote Shorts and replace him with Michael Floyd. Then I thought I'm sitting the about to be hot guy for the guy who's due a down week because he's coming off a good week.

Play shorts over Floyd? Thoughts?

I had to decide between Douglas and Shorts last night for my flex in standard and I had read that early this week. I decided to go with Douglas hoping he had gotten back on track. While he was good in ppr, this 7 points isn't going to work as I'm already down 18 after Gonzales and Douglas against Jackson and Graham. With McCoy and FJax out, I need BIG games from all my top positions just to break even with my opponent's squad.

I had Shorts and Douglas in at WR with DJax and A.J. on bye. I feel confident in Shorts tomorrow.
