Fantasy Football: Which QB should I start?

[LeiZaK]

Carson Palmer vs. Jacksonville
Jacksonville has a good defense and Cincinatti's O-Line may or may not be able to protect him due to recent changes.

Ben Roethlisberger vs. San Diego
Hines Ward is Questionable and San Diego is ON FIRE, so this is probably a bad option. Although San Diego has an awesome run defense and he may be forced to use the pass game more.

Michael Vick vs. New England
New England's defense is really hurting, but after all, it is New England. However, it it turns out anything like last week did for them, it could be quite a show. Oh, and Vick is listed as probable...

The Chargers tore up the Pat's last week, and Im expecting them to do the same to the Steeler's. I would start Vick ( That running QB )

 

[meltdown75]

PIT / SD could be a high scoring affair. i'd take Big Ben

i don't like ATL's chances this week only because NE doesn't drop two in a row that often.

 

[spanky]

palmer

 

[GasX]

Vick is a horrible fantasy QB even if he is a walking highlight reel. I would start Palmer.

 

[CtK]

Palmer

I'm guessing you have some sort of clue that the O-Line will pull through? (Palmer didn't do quite as great as usual last week when the O-Line) They are bringing in some new players... but a good O-Line almost has to have a collective consciousness comparable to the borg to be really effective. (and that takes time)

Vick might not start, Pittsburgh doesn't throw much if they can help it... start Palmer.

 

[geecee]

Palmer's probably your best bet, although Roethlisberger is facing only a so-so secondary in SD. If Ward does play, he might not be a bad option either. I think NE D will step up after being embarrassed and Vick's hurt which limits his running potential.

I think Pittsburgh may be forced to throw against the San Diego run defense...

The Steelers are a run first team, but SD is weak against the pass and strong against the rush. If the Steelers are going to win they'll have to take to the air I think.

The Bungles, er, Bengals are HOT right now but I think they're going to get a hot dish of reality this week against JAX.

The Falcons RB, er, QB is decent at making plays, but he has noone to throw to. They do have a running game though and they're playing NE who can and will make the best of a bad situation (i.e. missing 3/4ths of their starters on D).


Very tough choice. I'd rate them in this order:
Big Ben
Palmer
Vick

no way can you bench palmer the way he's tearing it up.

 

[Soccerman06]

One thing for sure, you dont want to pick Culpeper or Farve.

 

[hg321]

I would risk starting palmer, Jax had a good D but Palmer is making some great decisions

 

[shilala]

I have Palmer and Eli Manning.
I start Palmer weekly, and this week is no exception.

I would definately go with Palmer over Ben or Vick.

Steelers should have four backs (minimum) ready to go on Monday.
Parker, Haynes, Duce and Bettis.

Regardless of who San Diego thinks they are on Monday night, they are going to get FVCKED up.

 

[BS911]

Palmer of course! Go Bengals!!

 

[austin316]

If you check out CBS Sportsline, they have Palmer as a must sit this week. I agree. Take Big Ben, who will have to air it out once the Chargers take the lead.

Bettis = goalline back
Parker = fast speedster
Duce = over hyped, oft-injured
Haynes = mini-Bettis

From what my family up in 'the burgh' is telling me, this game is going to be more of Big Ben's. All the RBs are just there to keep control of the clock. And they'll be playing in SD. It's going to be an ugly high scoring game. I own the Steelers' D and I'm not starting them this week! I also heard that the Bus might be inactive this week.

Here's my roster. Starters are:
QB M. Bulger, STL
RB L. Tomlinson, SD
WR A. Randle El, PIT
WR A. Boldin, ARI
WR K. McCardell, SD
TE R. McMichael, MIA
PK N. Kaeding, SD
Def Titans

And on the bench:
QB S. McNair, TEN
QB B. Roethlisberger, PIT
RB J. Arrington, ARI
RB D. Sproles, SD
RB T. Henry, TEN (On my IR since he's suspended)
WR N. Burleson, MIN
WR S. McDonald, STL
Def Cardinals
Def Steelers

I have Favre and he is one of the best fantasy QB's this season. Wtf are you talking about?

 

[ViciouS]

Palmer

Sportsline.com has good advice on who to start. Cmon though, this is pretty corny using atot to make this decision. Maybe you need to ask this guy for some help Click

corny

 

[Phokus]

start palmer. Roethlisberger is so overrated it's not even funny. And the pats are going to ply angry against vick (they sacked vick 3 times last time they played the falcons).

Palmer
