QB decision for the playoffs

[Andy]

Peyton Manning or Drew Brees?

 

Somehow I ended up with both in the draft. Who should I start now?

Bounceback game against a suspect defense? Gotta go Manning this week. Not only will they really be pushed for a win to finally lock up a playoff spot, but it could really be a game of "last team to get the ball wins".

Tough call. Both have excellent matchups. The Bengals are terrible against the pass and the Skins have given up the most passing TD out of any team in the league.

 

I have Palmer and Brees and I'm going with Brees. If I were you, I'd be hard pressed not to go with Peyton.

Manning - Greater chance that he'll be behind and passing. Addai and Rhodes are questionable. Usually does well in bounce back games and on Monday night.

Manning because Cincy's pass defense is horrendous.

Washington's pass defense is probably the worst in the NFL:

Cincinnati's pass defense: 32nd (i.e. last) in passing ypg.

Washington's pass defense: 22nd in passing ypg.

Passing yards are generally useless in fantasy football. I'll go with Touchdowns and DVOA over passing yards (Washington is dead last in both).

 

But really, you can't go wrong here. Both matchups are pretty good.

Did you listen to the majority and play Manning?

Yep. Worked brilliantly. He scored 50 points.

 

Of course, the rest of my team put together scored 45, and I lost anyway. But, at least I made the right call.
