brees vs the giants or hasselback vs arizona. cards giving up the 3rd most points to QBs. giants giving up the fewest. play the matchup or stick with brees????

That's a tough choice. I think saints may have to lean more on passing game so that may help breesus.
While hasselbeck may be a good play I'm not sure he'll duplicate last week.

If you bench him he will probably throw for 300 yards and 3 TDS

I started Hass b/c Drew has sucked his last 2 times out. Playing NY also has a lot to do with it.

I benched him, but I have Big Ben going against the Browns, so it was an easy choice

How is that an easy choice? Both Mendenhall and FWP are available...and the Browns have the worst rushing defense in the NFL. Their passing defense, on the other hand, is top 10.

Id just rather have BR going against the Browns than DB going against the NYG defense.

DB will be chunking it alot due to I don't believe that we will be able to run against them. Therefore the more times he chunks it, the higher chance he has of throwing picks....Roth' has had monster games the last 3 weeks, 2 of the weeks I sat him and rolled with DB and got not as much as I shoulda got!

If you think this is going to be a high scoring game via TDs then you got another thing coming!!

Low scoring game today;
Throwing it between the 20s is what I was referring to. We don't get but one point for every 25 yards completed so yards aren't a big deal. I'm looking for TDs!!

Hasselbeck is terrible. Jones has 5 carries for 5 yards, aka zero points.

such great insight. I'm sure you were saying this last week as well when he put up 250 and 4 TDs.

Hey it was a matter of 5 points in my ESPN league and I still won by over 20 points so it wasn't that big of a blow!

Crow tastes good espeically when Im sitting 6-0 right now!!!
