Is he a viable pickup, if even just for a week (playing Atlanta)? I'm getting desperate at QB. Started the season with RGIII and Rivers, dropped Rivers when he had to play Seattle (bad call), and now have Cousins.

With Cousins playing Seattle this week and throwing 5 BUTTF*&^ING PICKS last week, Eli looks like my only possible option on the WW aside from Flacco. Should I be trying to make a trade for a QB or throw my hopes on Eli having a decent week?

Eli can be such hit and miss.

Honestly, maybe consider Bortles? They will be throwing a lot and Pitt defense isn't anything special with all the injuries they have had.

I know a few people who all said the Giants offense was going to come together around week four or so. Take that for what you will, but I believe Eli is finally getting comfortable and getting some help from guys like Rashad Jennings and now Larry Donnell. On top of that, Odell Beckham returns this week so that could be huge moving forward. I definitely think he's worth stashing.

Eli isn't a bad pickup. Who else is out there on the WW?

Taken. We have a lot of teams that have 2 qbs (in a 10-team league with only 1 qb starting), so it's getting pretty thin on the WW with injuries at the position.

Why would you drop Rivers?

Don't give up yet. NY has been implementing a new offense. They mighta found a formula that works for them. Eli has some very good weapons around him and probably some of the leagues top 5 at the moment at each respective position. Add Beckham to the mix, and they could be very good in a few weeks. Maybe try grabbing both flacco and Eli.

Washington is broken. Kirk is good but they asking to much out of him.

Emotional decision after losing Week 1 by .3 because Rivers couldn't get me 11 points

Yeh.. I benched him for when he went off against the hawks. Can't blame you... But I didn't drop him over RG.

Is grab Eli and flacco and play the matchup. They did very well against Carolina.

I'm starting Eli over dalton this week. Eli should have every opportunity to do well this weekend.
