$1000 if I win. 300 yard passing bonus.

Who would you start?

Tough one Tough Guy.

For everyone else, Brady is at Baltimore and Ben is at Green Bay.

Statistically, Baltimore is giving up 231.6 passing yards per game (#13) and GB is giving up 252.9 (#22).

Baltimore just shut down Staffard with a pretty decent receiving corps, 231 yds, 1 td, 3 ints. I don't watch too many Patriots games but it seems like their receivers aren't living up to NE's standards.

GB gave up 358 yds, 2 tds, 2 ints to Romo last week. I think Dallas and Pitt's offense are similar, a lot of good weapons at receiver and well balanced with the running game.

The site I usually use to start my sit em/start em analysis has it at 50/50: LINK

If I had to chose, I'd probably roll with Big Ben.

Do you get negative points for sacks?

No negative points for sacks in this league. Your in depth post is much appreciated. I should have put more thoughts into my op.

Not a problem. I got a new car with xm radio and have been listening to their fantasy sports channel nonstop. I won't claim to be an expert but I've tried to emulate their thought process for making decisions and have gotten better at it. I look at it like playing poker. You can use all the info you have to make the best decision for the situation. Sometimes it doesn't work out but if you do it consistently, you win in the long run.

Best of luck to you. Hope you take them down.

I'd ride Big Ben's hot streak all the way to the bank (okay, last week wasn't his best game)

I'm taking him in my championship as well. He's got more talent around him than Brady, IMO, and he's playing a worse defense.

He did have a subpar week last week but cincinatti's d is pretty good. Otherwise, he's been pretty consistent. I've been on the receiving end with Antonio Brown, which just surpassed megatron (who I also have on the same team) for the number 1 wr point scorer, generous return yardage points. Looking to make a run for the championship, which is next week. I hate week 17 finals.

Bumping due to snow storm in Green Bay and rain in Baltimore.
