Is it crazy to start Lafell over either Colston or Vjax in a PPR?

Here is my reasoning-

A) Colston is banged up and was nearly non existent last game. He isn't moving like he should be which tells me the injury is affecting him.

B) Hard to predict something like this, but Vjax is notorious for having a huge game followed by a dud. Dalls secondary isn't bad at all with Carr and Claiborne.

C) Lafell had 15.5 points week 1, 17.5 week 2. Playing arguably the worst secondary in the league in the NYG.
quote:

Through two games, the Giants have given up five touchdowns and 75 Fantasy points to opposing receivers, most in the NFL. It has not been a couple of big games by one receiver either, because so far every single receiver who has faced them has been remarkably efficient. Last Sunday, I said on Fantasy Football Today that I loved Vincent Jackson in Week 2 because the Giants had allowed every receiver who faced them in Week 1 to top 10 yards per target and at least 1.7 Fantasy points per target. That is still the case as Jackson saw 10 targets and produced 18 points in Week 2 and Mike Williams saw five targets and produced 11 Fantasy points. Through two weeks now, every receiver who has seen five targets against the Giants has produced double digit points and that bodes well for both Steve Smith and The Fell. Through two games, Brandon has seen 13 targets and has caught nine of them for 155 yards and a score. That means his two week average of 11.9 yards and 1.6 points per target should mesh very well with the generous G-Men, so get him in your lineups for a Thursday night delight.

I'm strongly considering benching Colston for Lafell due to the foot injury. Guy just doesn't look right. I don't think I'd start Lafell over VJAX though
