Seriously...Start Carson Palmer over Peyton Manning wk 11?

[thereason13]

Crazy,

But I am thinking of starting Carson Palmer over Peyton Manning this week due to Palmer's home matchup vs. New Orleans.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

I am in the same situation. I have Matt Ryan or Carson Palmer, and I love the home match up against NO. Esp with the RB game hurting, Oakland will go to air. But my downside is, I also am playing Moore and Hey Bey so if I go with Palmer it will be a win win or a epic fail close to play off time.

I would say it comes to risk/reward for me. Manning and Palmer will both have to throw a ton for their teams to win. McGahee isn't a good enough back to vulture more than close yardage TDs from Manning, which is pretty much the same situation Palmer is in. With all else equal, I think it is far more likely that Oakland lays an egg against NO than Denver looking bad against SD. I'd stick with Peyton.

I live in Bay Area and know that it will be rain in Oakland this Sunday, so i am not sure we should start Palmer or not. Right now you can start Peyton and wait on Sunday morning and check with weather in Oakland that day then decide who you should start.
