    Hey guys. I'm stuck here. I'm doing well in my league, however, this week is annoying, as all of my wideouts are weak and not 100% healthy. I just made my WR core more interesting by picking up Holt, (I know..but he's due, right?, and I had an extra def to drop due to a bye week last week). So, here are the players I have, and some ESPN fantasy opinons on them. So, OT, pick 3!

    Derek Mason: Derrick Mason is a decent flex option in deeper leagues, and a near must-start in point-per-reception leagues. Yeah, he had only a single catch for three yards against the Raiders, but he had a long play called back by a penalty and still had five targets. He's Joe Flacco's go-to guy, plain and simple, and was coming off an 87-yard effort against Miami.

    Reggie Wayne: The normally reliable Reggie Wayne made a bad play against the Packers, having a ball carom off his hands and into Nick Collins' hands. Dallas Clark then did his part against the Titans, doing the exact same thing and allowing Nick Harper to grab a pick. Both will make amends against a team they normally torch (especially Clark). (As of this writing, Wayne hadn't practiced this week because of a knee, so make sure he practices Friday before locking him in your lineup.)

    Dwayne Bowe: The Dwayne Bowe doubters (my co-rankers here on ESPN.com numbered among them earlier in the year) are starting to come around. When you get a big guy like Bowe (6-foot-2, 221 pounds) who runs relatively well, jumps like an Olympic champion and gets 9.25 targets per game, you start him no matter what. Will there be disappointing weeks, and sometimes shaky hands? Probably. But you'll kick yourself if you miss an explosion.

    Lavernues Coles: Laveranues Coles and Jerricho Cotchery aren't exactly chopped liver when it comes to YAC, and while each is likely to be listed as questionable, I expect both guys to play and perform like fantasy starters.

    Torry Holt: And you know what? I have this weird feeling we haven't heard the last of Torry Holt, either. Things are rarely as bad as they seem, and Avery has gotten so much media play this week that Arizona is going to be fixated on him. This reduced-speed version of Holt isn't much of a big-play threat any longer, but as a flex, I like him this week. I think he scores.

    Bernard Berrian: Bernard Berrian makes an acceptable deeper-league starter Sunday. Since missing Week 2, Berrian hasn't registered a game with fewer than 78 yards receiving, and has made a play more than 27 yards in five straight.

    This is a PPR league, if that will alter your picks, let me know!
    Oh, and here is who I have painfully chosen as of now:
    Wayne
    Coles
    Berrian (Prob because I'm a jaded homer)

    Thanks again guys...I'm gonna get some sleep and check back in a few.

    To make a long story short I agree with your selections.
