Help me choose the QB to hoist the trophy.

[Sleepy T]

Backed into the championship game as the 8 seed. The fantasy gods are looking down on me after a shit year in the RS.

But I am rolling with Brady and Winston right now as my QBs. I would usually roll with the GOAT and hope for the best, but I’m playing with house money at this point and the matchup with BUF kinda sux.

Cousins, Baker, Trubisky, and Foles are best available.

My brain says Foles because the Iggles are at home and gunning for a WC spot against a suspect HOU pass D. But i also like Mayfield against CIN. He torched them a month ago and this one is at home. Cousins and Trubiaky (and Baker in most matchups) are you s and/or wildly inconsistent.. they seem like risky propositions.

Who ya got??

Trubs all day. Others have tough matchups

ask your opponent if you can split the pot.

Nah. Actually, I don’t know the guy and I don’t roll like that anyway. Small stakes. $50 for the loser, $250 for the winner, and we both keep our $50 buy in. I sorta got tricked into the league... so I’ve already won

Brady at home vs Buffalo is not a tough matchup. I would not be scared.

As a Brady owner, I actually agree with ESPN's assessment on his fantasy profile:

Despite the fact he's completed at least 69.4 percent of his passes in two of his past three, the Patriots are becoming an increasingly run-first offense, and he failed to find the end zone in Week 8 against a sneaky-tough Bills defense.​

Cousins and Foles need the wins. Trubisky doesn't.
I think "need" plays into the performances.
But that's a tough call to go with Cousins or Foles.

Yeah. That was kinda my line of thinking.

Brady did not play well earlier this year vs BUF. Cuz scored 8 points vs DET at home. Of course that means one of them will play poorly and the other will go for 30.

I like the Baker play too. Although the Browns are pretty much out of it, the guy plays hard every down every game. This game is at home vs their rival who he beat the hell out of. Game is supposed to be cold also...

Trubisky has a favorable matchup. They could still get a 1st round bye, but that doesn’t look likely.

Here's Brady's record vs BUF in December.
Note: he's only thrown 2 TD the last 3 meetings.
That's 2 total!

I like Baker or Trubs. But it would be hard to sit Brady for me.

I know it. Tough to sit the guy right! Guy might put up 10 or 40...

I’ll pick up one or the other, probbly Baker and chew on it for a couple more days.

Thanks to everyone for their input.

I'd go Baker or Trub. I think I'd slightly lean Trub because his rushing ability could give him a safer floor. But either way, its basically a coin flip between the two. I think they'll both end up similar good numbers, they just might get there differently

Pretty sure Gronk has 100 yards or a touchdown in every game vs Buffalo. Maybe I'm mixing shit up, maybe not "every"...but it's a lot...most.

But touche on your point. Also, our run D can't hold a candle to our pass D.

I'm just hoping Josh Allen becomes the youngest QB to win in New England under Brady and BB.

Went with Baker and will prolly start him over gOaT.

Took a long think about Trubisky, but I think there is a slight chance (with them just about locked into their playoff spot) that he sits part of the 2nd half, especially if they get up on SF. Plus, I just like Mayfields game. He will want to play well and embarrass their rival in front of his fans in the dog pound.

Fingers crossed..

Why doesn't trubisky need the win, don't the bears have an outside shot for a bye??

I agree with this. I like both matchups here. The 49ers defense is more hit or miss though. The Bengals defense absolutely sucks, an all-time bad defense in Cincy this year.

Well if he plays like last game vs Cincy.

He had 230 passing yards and 3 TD's in the 1st half. Added a TD in the 2nd but they were very conservative in the 2nd half. Hopefully if they are up they go for the jugular.

True.
Still feel there's more pressure on Foles and Cousins to win.
More than likely the Bears are locked into the 3 spot, win or lose.
I may have to revise my answer tho. Nagy is showing that he us an aggressive play caller. So he may keep his foot on the gas with Trubs.

I mean, sure, there is more pressure for a team that hasn't clinched yet... But there is enough reason for the bears to win, for them to play hard all game...

Uhhhh.... yeah.... given our history tho.... does not compute. Maybe a better way of phrasing that is, haven't seen that in Chicago in my lifetime (much).8
