QB help!

[Cobrabit]

I've got a strong team everywhere except QB, so I need some insight into who you would start this week.

Cousins going up against Seattle.

Stanton/Palmer against Denver.

I picked up Cousins once RGIII went down and he gave me a great week against Philly, but of course sucked it up last week and is going up against a tough defense regardless if they've given up some points this year to QBs.

I dropped Locker for Palmer this week as a possible QB1 in future weeks and he has a good matchup, but of course he's questionable with his nerve problem. Since I was planning on dropping Justin Hunter anyway, I picked up Stanton as well.

Bridgewater is still a FA in my league and looked good last week, but is questionable for tonight's game against against GB. I should have time to pick him up tonight before the game if indeed he does start and drop one of the AZ QBs.

So if you were me, who would you start this week?

 

[TREFF]

Do you lose much for interceptions? I think I'd go with Stanton. As back ups go, he's pretty solid, and not afraid to keep plugging away even if he has a couple turnovers.
I highly doubt Bridgewater plays tonight, seems like a bad idea to risk the future of the franchise to win one game with only 4 days rest, no practice time and a bum wheel.
Cousins vs Seattle doesn't interest me in the slightest

 

[TKOSpikes]

I'd definitely grab Teddy. Drop Palmer (I don't think he's playing). It's just too hard to start Cousins vs Seattle, IMO. That leaves Stanton, but I don't like it at all.

Teddy prob won't play tonight and I would def leave Cousins on the bench this week against Seattle.

Doesn't look like Teddy or Palmer are playing. On a whim I picked up Stanton this morning. He's kinda intriguing. Goes against a vulnerable D, but I'd feel a little more comfortable if the game weren't in Philly.

Stanton faces Denver in Denver.. that Davis kid faces Philly in Philly, and he is intriguing, but I think he's a little bit off the radar as of now. . But looks better than I was fearing he would

Damn, I meant Davis. Sorry, I'm a little dizzy from a trade I just made...

Okay, Teddy isn't playing tonight, so it looks like I'll be going for an AZ QB this weekend over Cousins against Seattle.

Currently available QBs in my league that may be worth me picking up going forward:

Bridgewater
Bortles
Glennon
Alex Smith


The young guys have upside, but are also rookies or second year QBs that will be inconsistent. Smith won't be a superstar, but he'll also be consistent and with the rest of my team, that may be enough to win (currently in 1st place with a 3-1 record). While the other guys may have 20+ point games they may also get 5 points the next week (see Cousins). Smith seems to be a 14-16 point guy that doesn't have a lot of deviation.

So out of these options (FA and those currently on my roster) which two would you keep on your roster moving forward.

 

[TREFF]

I'm a big supporter of Glennon. Very nice collection of weapons to utilize and he was pretty decent last year. And I'd probably go with Stanton until/if Palmer returns. Again, very good receivers, and he's a gamer.

 

[kramer1]

Alex Smith. Easily. The best BY FAR there.

 

[SteelersPride]

im saying glennon, i couldnt understand why they benched him in the first place.........and the saints d stinks.......oppurtunity is knocking......smith gets san fran........and has charles back to pound the rock more.....gimme glennon

 

[Texas Jefe]

I like Glennon- in that he's got big targets, and he throws the ball downfield. Think that offense will be more explosive than it was with McCown.


I think Bridgewater is going to be pretty good though.

 

[Cobrabit]

It looks like Stanton is getting the start over Palmer this weekend. So for this week, would you stick with Stanton (@Den) or would you pick up Glennon (@NO) or Smith (@SF) to start?

My current roster: Current Starters

QB: Stanton, Cousins, Palmer

RB: Forte, Le'Veon Bell, Ridley, K. Robinson, McKinnon

WR: Julio Jones, Maclin, VJax (flex - W/R), Garcon

TE: Olsen

Def: Cleveland - matchup based defense each week off the WW

K: Bryant - have a claim for Suisham that will go through on Saturday unless I cancel it, but I'm also last priority on the WW

 

[TREFF]

Glennon for me. . But it ain't by much

 

[kramer1]

Smith. Easily. He's just that much better than the others. I'm not sure why he gets no love. The guy is a great QB on a great team.

The one problem picking Smith is he's playing the 49ers at their place, not to sure he's going to have a great day.

Meh. They're not elite by any means. They're 2-2. They're not the '85 Bears.

Smith is an awesome game manager, and IMO the 9ers messed up when they got rid of him, because a game manager is what they need, and Kaeps is not that.

That said, he is not a great fantasy QB, and on the road against the 9ers is a tough spot to use him.

Glennon is the best play, IMO, but none are good plays. NO just lost their safety for the season and the game is likely to be a shootout. Glennon is likely to hit a TD or 2 in come back mode.

Once again, Kramer offers absolute confidence, but provides no logical or data to support his choice. Bad advice.

And that's a huge reason why I'm dumbfounded his name is even brought up in consideration of the B team opening
