If Reggie Wayne still a WR1?
I'm feeling that I'm now starting him out of loyalty, and his name, and not his stats. Some stats:

Double digits 2 of last 8 weeks
Yards Last 5: 78, 96, 72, 102, 51
FP Last 5: 13, 9, 7, 10, 5
3 TD's ALL SEASON (!)

He gets targets and yardage, but not TD's or FP. I've watched Indy and seen how defenses shut Wayne down in the end zone, forcing Luck to look elsewhere for TD's: Avery (2 last week), Hilton (4 in last 5 weeks) and Luck (5 rushing TD's).

Going by stats, I should be starting Shorts, Givens, Danario Alexander - even TY Hilton over him, right?

Do I stick with Reggie, and if not which of these guys do I start I have Jordy and Shorts (both questionable) plus Danario, and Josh Gordon as options.

Thanks

    nF has him projected for 2nd most likely WR to get a TD this week, .03 behind Calvin Johnson, so if I am you I ride him out. However, if you don't trust him I'd pick shorts if healthy, then givens if amendola is out, and if neither of those situations play out I like Gordon (not too high on DX vs Pit, and I don't think Jordy plays)

    Thanks for the quick and helpful answer. I look at other rankings (nF aside) and just wonder how he's been a top 5 WR all year (though this week he's dropped in most rankings). If it wasn't the playoffs I'd give him one more week. I may stick with him and cross my fingers, due to the matchup.

    Actually how does nF put him SO close to Calvin Johnson, whose last 5 FP are: 12, 24, 18, 20, 23. I don't get it. Is it the matchup?

    Danario is a stud. Givens should be played if Amendola sits. I think he is still a #1 WR. 3rd in receptions and 3rd in recieving yards. Most targeted WR in Indy.
