Seriously considering it, was looking for advice here. I have Winston on the bench for now. Denver D scares me. What should I/We do fellas?

Unless you have rodgers, Wilson, or something like that on your bench you shouldn't.

I expect Winston to torch the Atlanta defense.

Would you sit Cam and start Phillip Rivers?

This is a don't sit your studs situation. You didn't draft Cam in the 2nd to leave him on your bench.

Why would you draft the top QB in fantasy only to end up streaming your QBs? You drafting him high for a reason, play him. If you're going to bench Cam Newton in week 1, you severely fricked up your draft philosophy.

Maybe if Rivers was playing the Saints, but not against KC. They have a good D in their own right.

Because the last game played the Denver D dominated Cam. I think it's still fresh in our minds

I don't think sitting him is an asinine strategy if your backup is strong enough.

Im sitting Cam, but only because I have Stafford as my back up. I like his matchup against Indy slightly more than Cams.
