Right now I'm leaning Galloway solely because of the matchup.

Of course you should be. I'm not saying the 3 receivers aren't close in value this year, that's not my argument. They are close, fantasy value-wise.

Let's look closer at the matchup:

The O/U is 43, a field goal higher than the MIA/GB game and a full TD higher than the BUFF/NE game, so there figures to be more scoring right off the bat.

Second, let's think about how the game will play out. It's likely that Philly will take a decent-sized early lead and TB will have to play catch up by throwing the ball in the 2nd half. Phily's pass defense can't stop anyone and Tampa will likely have to throw the ball a lot, so that's a pretty good combo.

Also, Jon Gruden loves what he sees in the kid Gradkowski. He's really improved and put up decent fantasy numbers over the last 2 weeks. These numbers only figure to get better as the season goes on IMO. He'll be given plenty of chances to throw the ball here and show what he's got even if Philly blows them out.

Plus, Galloway's the most talented of the receivers. Driver sucks this year and is banged up. And Evans only had 89 yds against the worst pass defense in the league (Det) last week. Not to mention he was held to 2 catches for 25 yds. week 1 @ NE.

Those are all the reasons I feel it's a very easy choice.
