Questionable Standard WR choices: Need an WR2 and possible Flex
My team has 5 WR...every last one has a Q next to their name. Super.

Dez will be getting a start at WR1, but my WR2 options are

Roddy White at home against the dumpster fire that has been the Bucs. He's nursing two injuries but the Falcons seem confident in him. (DISREGARD: Apparently he's not expected to play)
Julian Edelman appears to be the most consistent target and producer on the Patriots and will go against Oakland's version of a secondary. I don't think he was listed on the injury report til midweek, which concerns me a bit.
Keenan Allen looks primed to finally be a factor, with Rivers clicking and Buffalo's strength being against the run. Another surprise mid-week addition to the injury report.
DeSean Jackson seems to be the riskiest option with his injury, but it seems the Eagles can be had deep.

My concern is whether or not Roddy White is such a good option that I should start him rather than waiting out the injuries for my other 3 options.

Who do I roll with at WR2? In particular: do you start Roddy tonight in what could be good matchup despite his injuries?

Would you sit Zac Stacy against a confusing Dallas defense for any of these guys?

EDIT: Word is that White is not expected to play tonight...answers the big first question.

    I would start Allen at WR2. With Mathews hurt, the Chargers will rely on the passing game more. Stacy is a must start at home against the Cowgirls. The only reason they were successful against the run last week is that the Titans fell behind and had to start throwing the ball and only ran 11 times.

    I'm leaning very slightly toward Edelman right now, but Allen has had rough matchups to start the year and Rivers looks good...it may come down to the injury report on Sunday.

    I'm starting Keenan Allen in this one. He's a buy low candidate after a rough schedule in the first 2 weeks and I think he bounces back in a big way this week.
