Brees or Mcnabb

Got both of these guys. I'm wondering if I should start McNabb considering he's playing the Raiders or stick with Brees. I was also thinking about trading one of them since their bye weeks are done and I need RB help. Would like some incite. Thanks.

Man that is tempting, nomrally I say play your studs but McNabb vs Raiders is awfully sweet looking. I'd stick with Brees because I think they won't be able to run and he'll have to pass but it is toss up.

Ya. That's the dilemma I got. Brees had a bye week to study up on the Giants but McNabb is going up against Oakland. I just don't see Brees throwing for as many yards and touchdowns against the Giants as McNabb would in his matchup.

The thing with McNabb against a bad team is that they just won't/can't run the ball so everything goes airborn for them. With Brees my thought is that they can't run vs the NYG so he'll also have to throw and I think that NYG secondary can be exploited if your line isn't a seive. I think they both have good games but maybe I reverse my thinking and lower my risk and play McNabb because he's sure to have a good game.

This was a perfect example of playing your studs and not outthinking yourself in FF.  Although it would have been damn tempting to play McNabb against a horrible Raiduhs team.

Yeah definitely... what did you end up doing?

Sorry if that I haven't responded but I went with Brees. Only because there is a show on ESPN2, which is dedicated to fantasy football, that I watched and the reporter at New Orleans spoke to Brees. Brees said that he expected the team to score at least 40 or more points. So I went with Brees. When you hear that come straight from the horses mouth, how can you go against it.
