Well currently I have Stafford as the starter and Kaepernick on the bench... So which one should I use?

Stafford v the Jets
Kaepernick v the Eagles

Kaep should be able to throw on the Eagles and Stafford should be able to get the ball to Calvin Johnson (who I also have)

H2H points league

It is a hit or miss with both of these QBs no?

If you are starting Megatron there is no reason to go all or nothing with Stafford. Might as well use Kaep against the weaker defense. If Stafford has a good day Megatron will too anyway.

Jets Secondary isnt good. If the Lions block Stafford could have a great game much like Rodgers second half against the Jets.

Kaep is almost always hit or miss regardless of his opponent.

I don't like how Kaep has looked so far this year, better shot with Stafford, my take.

I'm going with Kaeps, only because I don't have Stafford. Kaeps could possibly have a good game against the Eagles, but I think you gotta stick with yer stud.

I'd roll with stafford all day. Normally it's risky to trot a QB receiver duo out there but I'd say this is the exception to the rule.

Yeah I was thinking this. I mean if somehow the Jets "stop" Johnson it doesn't mean Stafford will suck. I went with Both BELLS last time (against what I wanted to do) so I will go with my gut on this one. and yes I got crushed the week I started both Bells

With Calvin banged up I might roll with Kaep. Definitely if Calvin is out.

Agree - although is Calvin is out. Go with Kaeps. ....

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

Red, I think as a fantasy owner, you have to start Calvin. And maybe Stafford. But in answering another question on another thread, I posted this:

One site had Vegas topping this out at 45 points for both teams. That's not bad if both teams score about 3TD. I don't agree with Vegas because...

  • Jets are averaging 20.7 points per game on offense. Lions are averaging 20.3.
  • Jets D is allowing 24 points per game. Lions allowing 15.

Jets have played OAK, GB & CHI. Lions have played NYG, CAR & GB. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't have a warm-fuzzy over the DET-NYJ game.

Stafford if Megatron plays, Kaep if he doesn't.

All depends on Calvin..if he's out, Stafford is just another guy. If he plays, Stafford is usually a top dog. NO Calvin? I'd advise looking for a different QB
