I picked him up in my 16 team league this week and am bouncing back and forth on starting him over Braylon Edwards.
 
Since picking him up, all I keep hearing about from STL is about Mike Sims-Walker. I'll admit that I haven't watched Gibson play much, but I'm aware enough of MSW's last two years to know that A) He made a himself a household fantasy name is 2009 and B) He has been nothing but a disappointment since then.
 
This week will say alot about the two receivers, but what are your opinions?

It all depends on Bradford. He likes to go to the slot receiver the most. Now Greg Salas takes over that role until Amendola gets back.
Bradford seems to have the most repore with Gibson on the outside. I think Bradford needs to try and get the ball more to Sims-Walker to open things up offensively.
I think Caddy gets a lot of passes this week though.

yeah, the more i think about all the injuries, the more it seems caddy has potential for a big game.
 
i guess it's likely that the wr situation may be as murky as the end of the season as it is right now.
 
last year brandon lloyd came out of a group of mediocre receivers to have a huge year under josh mcdaniels....there's just part of me thinking that someone will have a similar season for the rams this year.

I can't bank on Caddy doing much. He really came out of nowhere last week to put up his first worthwhile fantasy week since about 2009. MSW was signed this year partly due to the Mark Clayton not ready to return to action and I believe it was a good signing. MSW has had health issues, but I believe he can be a good WR in the McDaniels/Bradford offense, especially now that Amendola is on the rack for a few weeks. Once he returns I like the 1/2 combination of those WRs working with Bradford.

I am rolling with Gibson in 12 team league this week ONLY bc I am really low quality at WR. BUT the upside is decent.

I think Gibson is a nice play. Prime time and he worked his but off to be the #2 WR. I like the risk/reward he offers.
