I've got Big Ben vs Tampa Bay. He's probable to play, but man he's so hot and cold it's not even funny. He netted me 3 - yes THREE - points last week.

Leinart vs St. Louis

Harrington vs Jacksonville

or

JP Losman vs San Diego <----long shot, I know.

I carry so many QB's b/c none of them are reliable. I've got LT, who wrote the book on reliability, so he's kept me in decent shape all year. I'm currently second in our league, but this is a tough week.

Of those, Leinart. And at least Big Ben didn't *lose* points like a QB has the ability to.

Now for my oh so terrible dilema - Romo or Brees.

:p

I'd gamble and start Harrington. He is starting to play well and I think if given time he will turn out to be a very good quarterback.

Tough call to OP - I'm probably go with Leinhart simply b/c he has Fitzgerald and Boldin to throw to. Plus Edge out of the backfield.

And I have a Romo/Brees dilema too. I'm going with Brees though.

Don't go with Ben... the guy has been horrible since the concussion.

Leinart is a good call.

Leinart. At least his receivers are healthy.

As for Romo / Brees, go with Romo. Brees' #1 receiver may not even be playing, so that will limit his yardage a bit.

Colston didn't have a single yard in the game that Bree's threw for 515 yards. Last week without Colston he dropped 350 yards on Atlanta.

i would say big ben...multiple reasons...

first of all, willie parker is averaging over 100 yards at home this season and therefore ben has a better day than in away games. more chances to score and less pressure on him. Also, of those 4 teams, tampa bay is the worst defense in passing yards per game. SD is 14th, STL is 10th and jacksonville is around 5th. therefore, he "should" have a better day than the rest.

Some good things to think about. And for those whining about Romo or Brees, you're breaking my heart. I feel sooo sorry for you schmucks ;)

I've got a couple days still, maybe someone will get hurt or caught using a banned substance and my choice will be easier :)

I'd risk Harrington.

My reasoning:

1) RB, Ronnie Brown has just been ruled out for week 13. There's not much depth after Brown on the RB depth chart.

2) Because of #1 above, Harrington will be forced to throw more. The potential for 2+ interceptions is worth the risk because of the potential for 250+ yards, 2 touchdowns.

3) Jacksonville doesn't play well on the road (compared to @ home). This game is in Miami.
