Bye week WR help

Got my 3rd WR Boldin on bye this week. Pretty thin on the wire, but wondering who I should pick up. I'm considering Hankerson, Chris Givens from St. Louis, Ryan Broyles, Cecil Shorts, Dexter McCluster.

I'm leaning towards either Chris Givens or McCluster based on matchup. But not sure how being over in England will effect the Rams vs Pats. Givens has been very consistent in PPR leagues over the past 3 weeks since Amendola went out.

I'd go with Givens. Broyles and Hankerson both have tough matchups, so I wouldn't go with them. McCluster has Brady Quinn throwing to him, so that kills what small value he had with Cassel. With Shorts, I'm worried that Henne will be bad like usual, and also that the Jags will run a lot to try to keep Rodgers off of the field. The Patriots are very vulnerable to the deep pass, and Bradford has been looking to Givens a lot more since Amendola went down.

Shorts. Robinson probably won't be back anytime soon...and he should continue to pick up some good fantasy points especially while Robinson is out. Plus his coaching staff has said since Week 1 that they wanted to get him more involved...it's happened, and I doubt it'll scale back much even after Robinson is back.

Shorts to me would be the obvious choice as well but its Henne I'm worried about.

As a Dolphins fan, I understand...but the Jags are also using their 2nd RB who didn't do well in limited time earlier in the season and GB lost Woodson so that's a less-than-scary secondary to throw at, even for Henne.
