I wouldnt say I am in a desperate situation in my league, just over Brees and his mediocracy.

1. is this a good decision?

2. would you pick up a fa QB who has a good matchup this week? who?

Probably a good choice. I don't like his chances of catching a pass this week.

Tannehill has a great matchup.

Benching Brees in a primetime home matchup that will probably be a shootout?

Yep... great call! Pick up Mettenberger IMO

I think I may start Mettenberger over Brees.

Brees played a perfect game last week minus the interception. Saints are the #2 passing offense in the NFL (yards per game). Last time I checked that was better than mediocre. You deserve Mett though.

Da fuq?

Saints are a 1.5 favorite in a o/u 56 point game. You don't sit Brees in this game at home.

I am being facetious of course over Mett. Dont get me wrong Brees stats are great. However in the fantasy world I'm just waiting on that blowout game, points wise... That is all.

I also have GB defense

Last three Brees primetime home games produced these statlines.

13 Carolina- 313 yards 4 TD/0 Int
13 Dallas- 392 yards 4 TD/0 Int
13 Miami- 413 yards 4 TD/0 Int

Assuming 1 pt per 25 passing yards and 4 pts per TD pass:

28.52, 31.68, 32.52

You really want to sit a guy with that track record in this spot?

You're crazy if you sit Brees. Either he'll light it up via shootout or he'll light it up in the second half trying to make a comeback.

Either way, you're looking at 20+ completions, 300+yds, 2+tds


Mettenberger? being a homer doesn't work in fantasy

Brees' lowest output of the season was 16.5 points. He's put up ~21ppg the last 3 games. You must suck at fantasy.

So not only do you want to sit Brees at home in prime time, but
you want to start the shitty defense he's playing? Wow talk about doubling down on a dumb idea...
