Brees or Flacco?

Who put up more fantasy points this week? Brees at the Jets or Flacco at Pats?

Last week I advised a guy on here to sit Brady and start Schaub. Sure hope he did..

This week, I say sit Brees and start Flacco. IMHO the NO/JETS game will be a low scoring affair as both defenses are exceptionally good. The Pats defense has been less than stellar and Flacco is on fire. (Homework assignment for you..Take away Brees' opening game against the hapless Lions and compare stats for the next two games.)

I'm with you, as these were my thoughts, exactly.

^ Not sure Brady vs Shaub is a fair analogy to Brees vs Flacco.

First, Brady is obviously still healing/strengthing his knee, so it will be a while before he's "back". Shaub has actually played extremely well against two seemingly "solid" defenses - the Jags and Titans, while Flacco's sucess came against two of the WORST defenses in the league - the Chiefs and Browns. IMHO, you start Brees every week until he gets hurt, chalking up last week to more anomaly than anything else. Brees gets it done vs tough defenses, and plays extremely well at home, while the Pats can still bring pressure, although they still do not have a pick.

I'd start Brees at home over Flacco at NE in the rain.

Good assessment, but the Jets D will have something to say..

IF it's raining in NE, that changes things..if it isn't, I still say start Flacco..

Besides, if everyone agreed, it'd be pretty boring..

I still say brees. Philly has a very aggressive front 7 that Brees lit up. I see Brees making a lot of short connections and a couple of them going the distance for him. Pierre is back which should be huge for him as well.

The Jets didn't give up an offensive TD to either Houston or NE, and held Tenn to 1 TD through the air..and HOU/NE are two pretty efficient passing teams. I'm simply saying the Jets D, regardless where they're playing, will have something to say about it and won't simply roll over and give up 3 or 4 TD's through the air simply because the QB's name is Brees. Pierre Thomas is apparently healthy and gives the Saints a good ground option. They no longer HAVE to pass on 3rd and 2.

You may be right, and I may be right. Never know until they play the game..

I would sit Brees and play Flacco

I'm still on the fence...
