WEEK 1 QB

[evilone]

1 PT EVERY 20, 4 PTS FOR TD. I HAVE WARNER AT SF OR SHAUB VRS JETS. I AM PLAYING AGAINST FITZGERALD THIS WEEK SO WARNER MAY EVEN OUT FITZ'S POINTS. ON THE OTHER HAND I AM STARTING JOHNSON AND DANIELS FOR HOUSTON. I AM LEANING TOWARDS SHAUB RIGHT NOW BUT HOW IS HIS LEG? THANKS

You might want to check but i read that Boldin is possibly out for Arizona, that may increase Fitz as a lone target with Breaston nursing an injury.

I like Shaub

I like Shaub

:scared: This response shocks me.

Warner is like Brees in that he really doesn't care who he's throwing to. If Bouldin and Breaston are out there will be somebody else getting the nose of a football pinned to their jersey.

I can't believe that anyone would consider benching Warner while he's healthy.

I agree. I don't believe Warner will be playing in all 16 games this year, so you want to play him while you can. Both QBs are injury risks, but the safer choice is Kurt. Don't forget that Arizona throws over 60% of the time. That's a fantasy dream.

In my opinion, there are only two players you really want to have from Houston: Johnson and/or Slaton. Putting Shaub in your starting line-up won't give you much because Johnson is his best and, usually, his only valuable option. Warner does throw it around a bit and with 1pt per 20yds, he's going to give you a bucket load of points. Think of it this way: if Fitz receives half the passing yardage with 10yds per catch and Warner uses his other two/three receivers with a combined avg. of 10yds per catch, you will neutralize Fitz's points.

Now, that's all 'what if' and I don't know what else you or your opponent has, but Warner will provide you with good stats for a QB and a chance to relax while facing a team with Fitz. I'll tell you what though, you may be suffering later on in the year with two injury risks for QBs.

Warner. As we saw last year, he gets you points when he plays, especially at home and especially against teams they should beat. I like Houston as a sleeper this year but more because of their D than their O. Wait for week one to see their philosophy on O before you consider replacing Shaub with a proven fantasy stud like Warner.

If Boldin is out and Breaston probably plays injured, shut down Fitz and who is left :headscratch:

I have Warner ranked higher, but not much. Both have the opportunity for explosive numbers, both have the risk of injury, both going up against teams who will be focusing on winning games with defense.

Extra points for Warner due to his recent track record, so I gotta give Warner the nod for week 1
