Derek Carr or Eli Manning (again)?

Derek Carr vs BUF and Eli Manning @PIT.

The NYG-PIT game could be a shootout. BUF-OAK could be as well. I have RB LeSean McCoy, RB Latavius Murray, and WR Michael Crabtree already going. If I go with Carr half of my lineup will be in one game. I suppose this is a good problem to have. I am 10-2 with a 2-game lead in my division with 2 weeks left. Is Carr's finger going to be a problem? Both games are later so that's another dilemma. I have to have my guys in by noon.

Gimme Carr. Bills are banged up in the secondary.

Eli is supposed to be in a shootout this weekend?
looks like good time to bet on the under.

give me Carr as well, practicing without the glove, dislocated fingers can't be that bad or he'd still have the glove on.

Unless Carr has the 85 bears on the schedule, the answer to this question is always Carr. Eli cannot be trusted in cherry matchups

Darby has already been ruled out so I agree...go Carr.

Eli was supposed to shred the Cleveland secondary last Sunday also.

Carr over

Carr over Rivers?

How about Rivers at home v. TB? I've got Carr as my starter right now. Any concern with Carr's fingers?

 

[TREFF]

He played fine last week with the fingers, I'm guessing six days of 1st class treatment probably isn't going to make it worse.

Like Rivers, but Carr is just to hot

I'd ride Carr until he gives you a reason not to. Especially with the BUF matchup.

Although, Rivers does have a very nice schedule down the stretch. Hard not to start him in weeks 16 and 17 vs OAK and CLE.

This. All day.

I went with Carr. I've gone with Carr over Rivers 9 out of 13 weeks. This week it will be Carr at Kansas City on Thursday night and Rivers at Carolina. I'm thinking Carr again, but KC's tough defense gives me pause. Any thoughts on how well a defense recovers for a Thursday night game after playing on Sunday? Advantage offense? I'll also be playing Crabtree and Spencer Ware in that game.

 

[PhilSimms11]

I've said it before and I'll say it again...I hate Thursday night games. A major problem I have for this Thursday is...Do I play 3 guys in one game on a short week against a good defense on the road? I have Michael Crabtree and Latavius Murray also. I think Eli could be a good play on Sunday night. He's at home and has put up some pretty good numbers vs Dallas. He had 207 yards and 3 TD (22 points) @DAL in week 1.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Wouldn't blame you for sitting Carr this week. Eli brings it against the Cowboys.

 

[CreepCreep2014]

SO glad I got the bye, it would be hard for me to start him vs KC. I like Eli this week to.

 

[PhilSimms11]

Glad I didn't play Carr. Yikes. Not a good night at all. I was afraid of that. 17-41, 117 yards, 0 TD. I think Eli will do better this week.
