I have the same problem. As of now I am leaning towards Schaub.
The cold weather in Buffalo concerns me but I think S.D. will get ahead early and run the ball all day. i think houston will be in a close game and will have to pass throught the game. Anyone else have any thoughts?

Thanks for the help.

I'd go with Rivers. Shaub is good but Rivers is the more trustworthy of the two. Vincent Jackson may have a tough day but Gates, Floyd and Chambers could get off big time. LT will get alot of screen passes. It's a good situation to have but I like Rivers.
This whole thing works better if you actually participate! HELP ME TO HELP YOU...

matchups are similar, so I would go with the hotter player...shaub. I couldn't bench that guy for anyone other than Peyton right now.

bigger question, why have you not tried to trade one or the other!!

I would say Schaub. They have more of a passing attack than the Chargers IMO. It is close though.

Thanks for the help on mine.

Schaub, he has a hot hand with a lot of weapons. In my opinion, San Diego gets a big lead and runs LT AND sPROLES. ;-D

Thanks for the help on mine, schaub has been killin it in terms of pure #s being put up this year and at Buf. shouldn't be any different. He leads the league in passing yds. and tds. As for the weather, this is the NFL and good quarterbacks(ex. Tom Brady) thrive in all types of weather.

the presence of Nnamdi doesn't limit Rivers, it limits VJAX. Rivers has other targets....LT Sproles, Gates, Floyd who won't be near NNAMDI when they get the ball. Also, Raiders dont' ALWAYS play man. No team does. There will be opportunities when the Raiders are playing Zone that VJAX will spring loose..

Rivers...safer and weather is much, much better in SD than in BUFF
