though I'm starting to come around on Denver, I still see Eli as a better play. Eli's receivers are just as good if not better, and he's up against Det not the Jets.

I'd go with Orton. He'll be passing WAY more and Jets passing defense isn't as good a lot of people think. As well Detroit's pass defense isn't as bad as a lot of people think - it's not as bad as Houston.

I dunno, but I'd be pretty nervous about starting people about the Jets. Thing is, and I've watched every minute of every Jets game all season, and if the Jets are gonna get beat... it'll be though the air. And if the the Broncos are going to do anything, it'll be through the air to it's receivers. But, I'd give it a 50-50 chance of happening.

Eli is the much safer bet, and with their upsides are about the same, he would be the one I start.

Help with mine?

Baltimore's pass defense is a little better than NYJ's. If Orton can put up 300+ yards 2 TDs on them, he can definitely do it to the Jets. If an injured, over the hill, Favre can put up 260 yards and 3 TDs, the #1 passing attack in the league should have no problem doing so. The way NYG defense is playing, there's no way Eli has to throw nearly as much as Orton does either. I think most people are just looking at the names DET and NYJ and not realizing the stats and numbers aren't what they presume them to be.

Orton is the #3 QB in my league. He is a must start. Detroit is improving and could be tough. I'd go with KO>
