Week 5 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Titus Young and the 3 WRs You Must Start

Chris TrapassoOct 7, 2011

With all the injuries we've seen at the wide receiver spot in the 2011 NFL season, and with the first round of bye weeks upon us, it's time you got that underrated pass-catcher into your lineup. 

Here are the three wideouts you must start in Week 5. 

Before I start, let me clarify that I am not including obvious starters like Calvin Johnson, Wes Welker, Carolina's Steve Smith, Larry Fitzgerald or Greg Jennings.

I'm digging a little deeper.

Titus Young

A great start this week in deeper, points-per-reception leagues. 

In his last three games, Young has 12 catches for 181 yards. He's been targeted 20 times. You have to think the Bears will do whatever they can do stop Calvin Johnson from having another monster game, meaning Young could see more single coverage. 

I think Detroit will use Young underneath, in front of the Bears Cover 2 defense. He is great after the catch. 

Get him into one of those starting spots, maybe even in that flex position.

David Nelson

After 20 catches through his first three games, Nelson only had two grabs against the Bengals. For the most part, he was invisible. 

After attempting to move the ball down field in Cincinnati last week, I expect the Bills to return to their more meticulous passing style.

That is, one which features Nelson moving the chains and finding soft spots in the zone. 

The Eagles secondary is talented, but he'll have nickel cornerbacks on him throughout the game in the slot. 

A bounce back game for the former Florida Gator.

Julio Jones

This was a little bit surprising to me—Jones has 38 targets on the year, tied for ninth in the NFL. What's more, the Packers secondary is allowing 336 yards-per-game through the air. 

On top of that, the Falcons are at home. 

What more could you want?

Honorable mentions go to A.J. Green, Eric Decker, Antonio Brown and Nate Washington
