Who to start?

[Public Enemy II]

Should I start Tom Brady playing at home against Denver or Drew Brees at home playing Atlanta?

[Public Enemy II]

No one?

No one?
dree brees at atlanta no doubt the only person on ATL defense id be afraid of is d hall but the broncos have amazing defensive backs. so brees is probaly safer bet man

[Selmon63]

Um, anyone notice that Atlanta has a pretty damn good defense also?

[nhbucsfan]

Brady's at home. Go with him, he's due for a big game.

[Public Enemy II]

Thanks guys, I think I'm leaning towards Brady.

Yeah, Hall had 2 picks this week, but he also gave up 161 yards to Galloway. If Simms can get 300 yards playing like absolute crap, then Brees should have no problem finding the endzone where Simms couldn't get the job done.

This is a no brainer. Start Brees.

But remember that was without 3 of their starters. I'm worried if Abraham, Hartwell, and Kerney are healthy and playing this game, how much pressure will Brees be seeing.

Since this is up.. Should I start galloway at hm. or go with a extra kicker in Gould from the bears against the vikings??

Having Bush will negate much of their presence if they are healthy. All Brees has to do is snap the ball and throw it to Bush right away to make those guys irrelevant or go to multiple screens. A smart QB and good game planning goes a long way and I don't like Brady vs. Denver. Denver is healthy and playing great defensively and it wouldn't take much from their offense to really shorten this game. Brees has more weapons and guys who can break a big play (right now). Once Chad Jackson is fully up to snuff, then maybe I'd feel differently, but not yet.

As far as Galloway. START HIM. The more we lose the better stats he'll have as he'll get plenty of "garbage time" stats. With Carolina; if their offense is without Smith, he could have a huge game as we'll be able to take some chances in a low scoring game. All you need from Galloway is one long ball and he's due. Especially if they run Caddy hard which they will this week. Eventually Galloway will be one on one and if Simms can get some time; you'll outscore the kicker on one play.

Despite Denver's good secondary, go with Brady.

He's a extremely efficient QB. If he does throw an INT, it shouldn't be more than 1 and he's good for at least 1 TD and 200 yards. Bronco LB's are really going to be tested covering two really good TE's, not to mention they also have a 3rd TE they can get the ball to.

Plummer isn't playing like he did last year, the Pats D should be able to get decent field position and give the ball back to the offense. Let's not forget that New England is looking for revenge from last year's playoff game still.

Brees may get you 250 yards and a TD, but I'm afraid of a fumble and 2 INT's coming along with it. If ATL's D players that are dinged end up playing, it could be a long day for Reggie Bush and Brees. Honestly, who on the NO D is going to contain Vick and Dunn right now?

Start Brady.

Thanks Ruger...

Start Brady.
How do you beat a good DLine? You get rid of the ball before they can get to the QB. How do you do that? You have an explosive WR you can flick short passes to quickly so they can't rush down hill all the time. You throw screens.

If the Saints utilize Bush correctly; whether those guys play or not won't matter for Brees fantasy wise. Not saying the Saints will win; bc winning doesn't matter in fantasy. I'd almost always rather have a QB playing on the bad end of a route. If Vick and Dunn run all over NO who cares? Simms still got 300 yards and he sucks! The difference being Brees will hit the open guy in the end zone and won't throw the easy INTs.

Denver has NE's number now. Plummer had two bad games, but that doesn't mean he'll be bad this week. If anything, Plummer doing bad means a close game and lots of running the ball; no garbage time passing yards. Also, NE will have more success running dillon/maloney against Denver's LBs than Troy Brown/Doug Gabriel against Denver's CBs.

Of course this is the NFL, anything could happen, but that's how I see it.

Start Colston, with Hall covering Horn and the rest of the D worrying about mcallister and Bush then that should give Colston more chances to make big plays
