Out of these receivers who do you start?

I unfortunately got stuck with Sydney Rice this year.
I need a third wide receiver. I have these guys on my bench:
Hakeem Nicks
Mario Manningham
Devin Hester
Devery Henderson
or Jerricho Cotchery who I know I won't start
I'm leaning towards Nicks, but I haven't decided for sure. I think Devin Hester may not be an immediate fantasy star, but if Cutler can learn how to throw a football, he could be a HUGE help to my team.

Also, at TE, Kellen Winslow or Jason Witten?

And at RB: Justin Forsett or Darren Sproles? And if I could acquire Ahmad Bradshaw (was gonna acquire him because I really think he'll take over by week 6 as starting RB), should I start him over one of those two? I could also start another WR instead.

Thanks in advance for the help.

If I could get Ahmad Bradshaw for Darren Sproles straight up, I should, right?

if these are your main options, im sorry but it isnt going to matter, its gonna be a tough road ..... look for some free agent sleepers like Mike Williams in Tampa or Mike Wallace in Pittsburgh, Gaffney in denver or Laurent Robinson in St louis.

Id hang onto Sproles as Mathews did get injured in college and i read he is injury prone, im not a college guy so i cannot confirm this, Sproles will get 10 touches a game between running and receiving. Bradshaw will split carries but Jacobs tends to get the goal line touches. Leon Washington might start in Seattle over Forsett, stay tuned. be ready on the waiver wire for injuries... save your waiver priority for an injury replacement at RB.


best of luck!

Thanks for the advice everyone. Why do you think it will be a tough road? Maybe I'm bad at fantasy, but I thought my team was decent.
My starting line up for Wk 1 looks like it will be:
Peyton Manning
Adrian Peterson
Beanie Wells
Ahmad Bradshaw
Brandon Marshall
Devery Henderson
Jason Witten
Cowbys D/ST
Robbie Gould

Also, I know for a fact Gaffney is available, but is he a more valuable bench player than some of the guys I listed?

gaffney is sitting at # 1 in Denver right now.... they gotta throw to someone... Roll with who you think, no one is right or wrong until the games get played, injuries can change a guys outlook from one week to the next.

Your team isn't that bad, you didn't mention half your team at first... your better off then first thought.
