Fantasy Football advice at QB

[ChicosBailBonds]

I'm in the championship game at work this week.  I've got Cam Newton and Tony Romo for QBs...having a hell of a time figuring out who to play.  Newton goes up against Oakland, Romo against New Orleans.  The "guru" keeps saying to play Romo because New Orleans defense is so bad.

Suggestions?  Normally I would go with Newton but Romo I've plugged in about 40% of the time this year and he's mostly done well for me.

Newton.

Oak defense is poor as well. He has been running well lately, and that is a nice bonus.

Romo at home.  He plays well there and NO pass defense is just terrible.  Dallas in playoff hunt and has the motivation/incentive factor.

Newton. Oakland defense is awful. Newton/Carolina's offense playing well the past few weeks. Newton ranked #1 in ESPN Fantasy QBs this week.

[StillWarriors]

Agree. Newton.

Cam Newton is rolling with Steve Smith right now.

I'd put Cam as the #2 QB this year, Romo at #4.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Thanks for the feedback

I'm taking Carolina in my suicide pool this week, trying to go 16-0 if that helps.

In Cam I trust.

Also playing for the championship this week.  The service I consult has Newton ranked #1 scoring 21.2 points and Romo #6 at 19.0 based on 4 pts for TD and 1 pt every 25 passing yards and -2 per INT and 1 pt for every 10 yds rushing.

you don't sit newton right now.

Anyone care to assist with this one?

Seattle D vs. San Diego D... Seattle is good, playing at home, but against the 49ers. San Diego has had double digits in the past few weeks and is playing against a shitty jets O. Thoughts?

[dwaderoy2004]

I have the same choice and I'm going with San Diego, for what it's worth.  But it's pretty much a coin flip.

ANYBODY WHO PLAYS AGAINST THE JETS!

Gotta love seeing Rex Ryan fail.

i always pick my defenses based on who they're playing, not who they are.  with the possible exception of the bears earlier this season (who i never had because employing this strategy doesnt allow you to get them) my defense changes just about weekly. I typically follow bad offenses around, just about regardless of who that leads me to pick up. so in this situation, I'd go with SD.

Tends to be my strategy as well. Backfired the last few Weeks with Detroit against Arizona and Oakland against kc

[dwaderoy2004]

I got burned on Detroit against Arizona, as well. but, um, didn't oakland shut out KC?

[ChicosBailBonds]

Packers D or Chargers D?

Correct. I had the wrong week. I meant Cleveland vs KC

Packers D or Chargers D?

That's a tough one...

Chargers D.

[MUBurrow]

Chargers D punt return TD 5 mins into game. Boom.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Crap.  Should have gone with Romo.  Oh well, Newton had a decent game...Romo had a great one.  Leading going into the afternoon games, hoping to hang on.

[ChicosBailBonds]

That's a tough one...

Chargers D.

The way our scoring works, the Packers D doing better today.  I went with the Packers.

EDIT:  That last TD given up by the Packers swung it the other way, but very close.
