Ryan vs Stafford, Harvin vs Collie - WHIR

[B0TTiG]

Matt Ryan is a risky play on the road at NO. But Atlanta will most likely have to pass the ball to keep up with NO's crazy offense. Stafford practiced again today and If he is the starter on the Sunday, he has a squishy matchup against STL.

I'm starting Brandon Marshall @ BAL, which is a no-brainer. But i need to choose between (P. Harvin @ GB) and (A. Collie vs SF)

Harvin's worst game this year was against GB where he only had two receptions for 39 yds. Austin Collie has 4 TDs and 18 receptions in the last 3 games.

Is Harvin's big play ability enough to warrant the start?

Thanks for your help. I like Stafford (he has been practicing) against St. Louis. i believe the NO D is to strong and will pick Ryan apart.

ALso, i like collie. Wayne is banged up and the rapport has been built with Peyton.

Ryan and Harvin

split down the middle, can anyone help me make more sense of this?

I agree with your analysis. I would start both Ryan and Collie for the same reasons.
Thanks for the help on mine.

Hmm, I've only seen harvin's numbers go down now that Farve is figuring things out with Berrian. Believe me I'm as disappointed as anyone but I think Collie is a better bet until we see Harvin making money still with Berrian and Sidney Rice ahead of him.

Stafford has a nice matchup but Ryan is Ryan and might get picked a couple times but has to score a few TD's and a bucket of yards in the process. It's not like New Orleans had been winning games by shutting out their opponents, and though stingy on passing TD's, are average in yards given and lets face it they've played two rookie QB's and haven't seen a Matt Ryan this season yet.

Thanks for your help on mine!

I would definitely start Ryan over Stafford. Regardless of matchup, he's a better QB on a better offense.

The WR is tough. I think I would lean towards Collie, but it's really a tossup.

Good luck!

Stafford and his top WR are gimpy, and most likely a shootout for Ryan and Brees. I think GB is ganna be worried about Rice and Berrian--Berrian was the go to guy last time the Vikes played GB, which may lead to a decent game for Harvin. Collie has Peyton Manning throwing him the ball, so anything is possible, but so does Garcon, Wayne, and Clark. You never know. I'm ganna go with Harvin here.

I'd definitely go for Ryan with Stafford just coming back. That game has to be pass-happy and high scoring, so there is some good potential for Ryan to do well there even if he does have an INT or two.

Harder choice between Collie or Harvin, but I'd go Collie I think for the reasons others have stated and Harvin's mediocre game the first time around with the Packers.
