Week 12 Fantasy Sidney Rice or Desean Jackson?

Sidney Rice vs. Chicago: I think Rice will get his fair share of targets this week, but I think this is Peterson's game to dominate. I expect Peterson to run the ball effectively against Chicago's lackluster D who he always seems to tear it up against..and down the stetch when Minn is ahead to kill clock. Plus, Tillman is going to be gaurding Rice. Tillman does a good job on bigger bodied recievers like Rice, has a tougher time with quicker agile receivers. I predict about 5 catches, 74 yards.

Desean Jackson vs. Washington: I dunno I doubt Haynesworth or DeAngello Hall are playing for Washington. If not I think Jackson tears it up for sure. Without Haynesworth, Philly can run the ball decently, and double up on Carter for play actions. If they play he's still a good start. If Haynesworth plays, Philly will get stuffed on the run and more opportunities for Jackson. I like Washington to keep it surprisingly close as well. I predict about 5 catches, 108 yards, TD. 66 return yards. 1 rush 29 yards.

I need this week so lemme know what you guys think.

Update:

C'mon guys. Your not giving me any valuable information. I have detailed reasons for why/why not I would start each receiver, like Rice is playing against Tillman for 1, who does well against physical receivers.

Don't tell me that Rice is going to tear it up because Favre its playing amazing. That doesn't even make sense, and they're both only doing that well b/c of the attention defenses pay to a.p. every week.

if your ganna answer a question, at least give me reasons otherwise I aint ganna listen to u.

    I agree with everything you said, but I'd like to add that Philly gives Jackson more touches with their wildcat offense. The ball is spread around more in Minnesota to Harvin, Peterson, and Berrian. I'd start DeSean.

    Rice cause in Philly there's a guy name Jason Avant. You've seen him get quite a lot of action and the whole Favre-to-Rice thing is working out pretty well. go with SIDNEY RICE

    Chicago left its pass defense in 2007. Play Rice. Farve is having record breaking year. Rice has many top ten plays this year. Play RICE

    Jackson seems to have a lights-out game - fantasy-wise - and then.....nothing. This is a trend that is baffling, but I would roll the dice on him. He'll be stretching the Skins D with deep routes and I see him getting loose for a couple very long gainers (possible TD's).

    Start Rice he is playing like a stud receiver each week and has been scoring big each week.

    Jackson can be spectacular but start rice this week.
