Shane Matthews Start Next Week?

[Skiggs]

wow that was some performance on the part of Shane Matthews this weekend. What do you guys think of the chance of him putting up numbers close to that all season?

would you start him against philly next monday or see if garcia can bounce back from that pathetic peformance last week with a good one this week at home against Denver?

[trentvaughn]

I would start Garcia. He'll step it up against the Broncos this week. Matthews will have a tough time in Philly. I know why you're having a tough time deciding. It's better to stick with the Fantasy vet than to go with the one week wonder. It doesn't always work out, but the vet will do better 70% of the time. The other 30% were breakout performances, and that's hard to tell. Arizona's D is terrible.

in this case you have to start garcia for one matthews did great but it was one game and against arizona and next week hes got philly so much tougher for a man who is unproven so far

garcia will have an awesome year hell shake off game 1 jitters and go toe to toe with the denver offense just like st louis did but in this case i think san fran will win

[terpfan]

yeah def. start garcia. matthews wont have it easy against philly but i do beleive he will keep putting up good #'s all season. hes a good backup.

Garcia for next week.If he has another poor outing,then switch it around the following week and see if Garcia can bounce back.

garcia looked terrible in game 1. He really needs to get his game back. They may resort to the runing game more often than ever if Owens and Stokes are gonna get covered like the Giants did. Eric Johnson is a good sleeper pick here, garcia prefers johnson over jj stokes so ej will have a good year.

Do people think Mathews will do well this season? I picked him up for my backup D (browns) and I am hoping he can back up my starter, Griese. What about that question, start Griese or Mathews?
