Once you get down to your last roster spot you feel like if you can make this last pick a good one that you've got a head up on the competition.  When it comes to wide receivers, there are more options at this position than any other.  While you won't be able to pick up the top tier WR's with less than $6,000, you can still pick a very solid fantasy producer with your last pick.

Vincent Jackson  $5900

At just under $6000 Jackson could make for an under-owned, sleeper pick.  There will definitely be people who pass on him, due to his lack of production so far on the season.  His week was saved last Sunday with the game winning touchdown.  But don't discount the possibilities with Jackson in your lineup.  He has been targeted at least seven times in every game this season with a game high 10 targets from new starting quarteback Mike Glennon, who he has a great history and rapport with.  Also remember that Mike Evans is nursing an injury and could miss this game, leaving Jackson with more responsibility and opportunity.  For New Orleans part they haven't done much to stop opposing number one wide outs.  They are 28th against opposing wide receivers and have given up big numbers to players like Julio Jones (7/166), Roddy White (5/72/1), and Terrence Williams (6/77/2).

Brian Quick  $5900

Also at $5900 is the Rams number one receiver, Quick.  Quick will be facing the Philadelphia Eagles who are even worse than the Saints at containg opposing WR's.  This should be a high scoring game and if St. Louis is going to stay in it someone is going to have to score some points and Quick will have to be a part of the action. Quick had nine targets in Weeks 1 and 2 for 99 and 74 yards respectively, but only four targets in Week 3 for 62 yards and a touchdown.  The Rams are coming off their bye week which should allow Quick to be well rested for this game.  The Eagles have had three opposing receivers to go over 100 yards in a game and each of those players scored at least one touchdown.

Marques Colston  $5400

At $500 less than the previous two players, Colston could have a big day.  Playing against the worst team against opposing wide outs, Colston will look to find yards and the end zone.  Colston's productivity has fluctuated from week to week, but he will get targets and he has scored once already.  The Bucs have given up two 100+ yard games to opposing WR's and each of them scored twice.  Other receivers that they have played have racked up nice yardage.  The key here is to find the Saints receiver who will be the number one receiver for Drew Brees on Sunday which is easier said than done.

All three of these players are usable, but I would go with Jackson.  His upside is increased with Glennon under center and if Evans is out he will have to step his game up even more.  He is getting the targets and is a big target himself.  What's even better is that this game will likely be a shootout.  Expect Jackson to have his biggest game of the season.
