    Yeah, normally I wouldn't have even thought twice about it but Brees has such a terrible fantasy week last week "6 points" and it cost me while Eli put up a nice 20 spot.

    Plus the fact that Chiefs Defense is so terrible it might be worth it to start him.

    Brees is a chance, Eli will at least have solid game guaranteed Id go Eli just because Jets D has been playing well and I have no faith in KC chances

    I do not even have a fantasy football team.

    That being said, Drew Brees is jacked up right now. That is huge for fantasy. You gotta start him.

    Bad matchup for the Jets defense, IMO. Brees has a connection with every one of his receivers (and Shockey), so Revis will only be able to do so much. He might be able to shut down Colston, but he can't do it all. Taking away Moss from Brady (with Welker out) and Johnson from Schaub, without other playmakers and their run defense, killed those two teams. Brees will throw to anyone on that offense, and he should be able to put up points on the Jets. Brees is going to get more opportunities to air it out in the dome than Manning will in Arrowhead. I like Brees in this spot.

    Eli is the best QB in the NFL when it comes to winning games, obviously, but you cant bench Brees ever for fantasy.

    Reasons for benching Brees:

    -bye week

    -death

    ... neither of these apply. Start Brees

    Would this also apply to Colston? (in regards to reasons for benching) I mean, Revis will be all over him, and look what he did to Randy Moss and Andre Johnson...

    It doesn't apply to Colston, although it does depend on your other options.

    fyp

    I'd start Drew Brees' ghost over every other QB. LOL at EVER benching him, even if he played the NFC Pro Bowl team.

    Looks like the general consensus in Brees.

    Thanks for the input, hopefully it goes well.

    Steve Smith (NYG) 1 starter already
    Torry Holt
    Pierre Garcon
    Roddy (on his bye week)

    Those r the choices. Also, just got offered a 1 for 1 trade, Forte for Gore. Pull the trigger? Ridiculously sweet matchups weeks 4-9 (outside of the week 5 bye), and weeks 11 & 13, although come playoffs (15 & 16), would face the Vikings and Ravens.

    I'd go Garcon and bench Colston. Manning is pretty much guaranteed to hook up once with Garcon for a TD this week. That, or I'm just being super pessimistic about my Seahawks secondary.

    Kevin Kolb and Joe Flacco both threw for 300+ on KC...any time a real NFL QB has faced them this season, they've been torn to shreds. Brees is the safe play (ie when you play him, you'll still be able to convince yourself that you made the right decision if Manning outscores him...on the other hand, if Brees outscores Manning, you'll be kicking yourself.)

    Manning is going to score more pts this wk imo. I would start him
