Brees or Manning?

Postby 2b-or-not-2b » Fri Oct 16, 2009 12:48 am

Current Starters
QB Drew Brees
RB Matt Forte
RB Thomas Jones
RB/WR Brian Westbrook
WR Wes Welker
WR Santonio Holms
TE Kellen Winslow
D/ST Packers **
K Nate Kaeding **

Bench
QB Eli Manning
WR Braylon Edwards
WR Michael Crabtree (bye)
WR Jeremy Maclin **
WR Nate Burleson **
RB Ricky Williams (bye)
D/ST Vikings

** = roster additions in the last 24 hours

League Format ? Not sure. I'm a Fantasy Rookie. I know we have a 10 team league on ESPNs free league.
Scoring: H2H Points (whatever that means?)

I'm planning on starting Brees - he will have 70,000 crazed Cajuns cheering him on and Ely is recovering from plantar fasciitis (PF). I've had a personal encounter with PF and it did not go away quickly and it could flair up at a moments notice. Any other news or information I should be taking into account for the QB position?

Do I go with a RB or a WR in my flex roster spot? As it stands now, I plan to start my 3 active RBs but I just picked up WR Burleson & WR Maclin and I already had WR Braylon Edwards.

Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I'm also looking for a few free (or almost free) fantasy websites that I can count on for solid information/tips/picks as I find my way through my rookie season.

I would go with Brees.

Coming off a bye so he is rested and has had an extra week for gameplan.

As mentioned above go with Maclin as Da Raiders are horrible. (Pretty bad coming from a Lions fan) :-b

Good luck

Please take a look at mine

I would play Brees for sure. Just think, if NO falls behind, or leads, or is tied, they will just throw more!

The rest of your lineup looks solid.
