Who would you start this week?

Brees vs. Falcons
Cam vs. Titans

I've gone with Brees all season, but I absolutely hate seeing Cam on the bench putting up 20+ points most weeks.
ESPN standard scoring league.
Any suggestions?

I had the same situation and in week 4 I traded Brees for Forte and haven't looked back. Started the season 1-3 bc of Foster and S-Jax injuries now I'm unbeatable. 5 wins in a row.

Your doing yourself a disservice to have all those points on your bench trade them if you still can and upgrade another position.

Now I cannot decide on who to start

Cam all the way. Brees can have bad games and put up less if Cam has bad games. Yea QB's are pretty hard to trade,

There are downsides to trading a great bench player if you don't get fair value.

Never fall for the "you might as well trade him for something since he's on your bench" logic. That player will be putting up points for another team and against you possibly in your league's super bowl.

I have had Cam Newton on my bench all year since no one has offered anything fair for the ton of points he puts up. I'm about to switch him to starter over Brady at this point.

Agree, have the same situation except i have Rodgers so there is no who to start worries. I have attempted to trade him but the offers i got for him were laughable. (Defenses and players that wouldn't even start on my squad)

Trade Brees I know somebody will take him off your hands. You have 2 of the top 5 so in a 10-12 team league, somebody has. To be playing a flop.

Yeah that's exactly what I did in my other league.
