Foles vs Giants or Wilson vs Dallas

Feel like I'm chasing points with Wilson, and Foles is due for a breakout, but it's hard to deny Wilson's season so far, any thoughts?

I guess I don't understand why you think you're chasing points, nor why you would assume Foles is due for a breakout.
Wilson had consistently been over 20, and as long as your realize he's not getting 122 rushing yards a game, your not chasing points, your almost banking 20 with some upside.
And Foles has only touched 20 once. His record breaking efficiency from last year is gone, predictably so, no one could sustain that and it was unreasonable to think he could. And that was the only reason he was great last year. Kelly's offense depends on a running game and efficient but deadly effective passing game to compliment it with. Without the run game, and with Foles not being quite on point. . What we've seen is what we get. There will be big weeks.. but you could get big weeks from Austin Davis, Derek Carr or Blake Bortles too.

The safe, smart play is Wilson. The highest potential upside is Wilson. Start Wilson

Ryan... He had the defense that I thought Dallas would have, and thus the volume that I was banking on when ranking Romo top 5. But Ryan has Julio, Roddy, he'll even Hester is an effective weapon when used. High volume, using those weapons? Where do I sign? There are only three QB's I'd start over Ryan on any week, including when he's on the road because he still gets the volume, and they are Manning Brees and Rodgers

Funny thing is romo is available on the wire. You really rank Ryan 4th overall? Where would you rank these 4? Romo, foles, kaep, ryan? Rank them in order

Couldn't agree more.

Ryan, Romo, Foles, Kaepernick

Already covered Ryan..Romo after this week at Seattle could go nuts against those NFC east defenses, especially when they finally decide to stop Murray instead of playing pass first.
Already touched on Foles, but similar to Ryan and Romo.. He has a crap defense, and until the running game improves he'll have to throw volume, it'll just be hit or miss as to how successful he'll be week to week. And I've lost faith in Kaepernick being a strong fantasy QB, he's just not progressing and growing, rather he's still stuck on relying on sheer athletic ability, which won't get it done consistently at this level

I still have a very hard time seeing Wilson as a viable starting FANTASY QB. There shouldn't be a need for his fantasy points. They've been there this year, I just can't come to terms with them staying.

Upon further review. .I think I'd add A. Luck to that group of QB's.. Although if Ryan was at home vs a weak D.. I'd start him over Luck too

Well romo is available on the wire and I have foels, and kaep. But kaep has been in the top 10 in fantasy points so far this year and was 9th last year.. Does this mean I go get romo or just stick with foles and kaep?

Foles other than that one bad performance has been averaging 18 a game

You must have a slightly different scoring system then the 2 "standard" leagues I'm in. On ESPN he's 13th, on Yahoo he's 17th. BTW..Romo is ahead of him by 4 spots in both. . That after having a terrible first 2 weeks. Maybe his rushing yardage has a nice bonus in your scoring system. . Which then throws everything we've been discussing into something entirely different

Every rushing yard is 0.1 points and makes kaep even more valuable I guess? Right now kaep 11th romo is 12th, foles 14th

That's not not a whole lot different than standard where every ten yards is 1 point. . But it does create a difference over time. .19 yards is 1.9pts for you, 1 for anyone standard scoring. And given Romo is only a handful if points ahead in standard scoring, that's probably the difference. Yes it does enhance his value a little, but not much. I still like Romo for the year, but not this week in Seattle

Do you suggest picking up romo?
