    Crazy to bench Peyton?

    I have Carson Palmer who I'm very confident in. Has put up 2 touchdowns in every game he's played this season. The snow doesn't really bother me, but the wind being 25+ all game does. Manning doesn't throw a hard ball so the wind should play a huge factor in his throwing. Anyone agree?

    I was thinking the same thing but my reasoning is different. My league uses a tired rule, so if you use a player three weeks in a row the third week he only gets half points. My other option though is Hoyer against Jacksonville's defense.

    Not if it's still snowing and windy game time.

    They're reporting that the snow should stop by game time but the wind should pick up (15-18 mph) and expecting gust up to 40 mph.

    wind is supposed to drop over the course of game but still going to be 17-20 MPH, not including gusts

    That's an interesting rule. What happens on the 4th week?

    I wouldn't sit Manning any week during the season, but it worked out well for you here. Not bad.

    I don't know about fantasy but in the playoffs maybe it is a good idea to bench Peyton??

    Peyton looked like an old man today. Not even a slice of that Papa Johns pizza could brong him back to life.

    might want to think about trading one of these guys to beef up your roster for the playoffs. Probably trade palmer as he is more likely to get injured

    I wouldn't blame the loss all in manning. Yes he made some bad plays. However I credit the Patriots more for their good play. They are white hot right now. Their offense is almost unstoppable at this time.

    Old man still threw for 438 yds and 2 TDs. When that's a bad day, you're not too bad.

    When you spend that high of a draft pick on a player you start him every week, unless he gets injured.

    outdated fantasy logic here... you never factor in where you drafted a player in any decision you make, period.

    ended up starting Manning. He had 1 more point than Palmer did. Glad it didn't really matter in the long run

    Not because of draft position but manning is a never bench

    Manning should have a big day here. No way he lets the Broncos lose to Oakland after the NE loss

    Your first round picks need to produce for you, there should be virtually no case where you start a waiver wire, middle of the road QB over your first rounder.
