Stafford or Bortles

[packfancjh]

I can't decide between Stafford against NO or Bortles against Atl. Bortles is on fire lately but NO has given up the most points to qb's this year. Help!

I would go with Stafford, but no way in hell would I tell you that Bortles is the wrong choice.

Both look like decent starts this week, but ATL has been beat up by RBs more so than QBs, so that's why I would choose Stafford.

Kind of where I was leaning, thanks

I am taking Stafford too, but I agree with Monkey. This is a toss up.

But Stafford plays @NO. While they may not be a defensive juggernaut, the fact that it is a Monday night game for N'Orleans, their defense usually shows up in prime-time. Usually.

Bortles.

After Winston this week, I have no clue. Cam had 28 against Atlanta. It's not known if Atlanta has thrown in the towel.

Just wanted to see if I was having a senior moment...

Saints played 2 prime-time games at HOME so far.
On OCT 4, beat Dallas Sunday nite in OT. Held the Boys to 20 points.
On OCT 15, beat Atlanta Thursday nite. Held (what was) a red-hot Falcons offense to 21 points.
Next prime time Home game is Monday. Just saying.

Stafford is the safer play, but if you went with Bortles, I would understand.
