Matt Ryan or Josh Freeman

[onlooker]

Week 15.

Here is why I'm asking.

QB scoring:
1 point per completion.
-0.5 point per incompletion.
6 points per TD.

WR/RB/TE scoring:
1 point per reception.
6 points per TD.

My opponent has these Buccs players going.

Mike Williams.
Dallas Clark.
Doug Martin.

If I start Josh Freeman, I could be cancelling out a lot of his reception points, and TD's if any of his Buccs players get any threw the air.

Josh Freeman also lit up the Saints in week 7 with 420 yards, 3 TD's and no INT's.

Thoughts?

Josh Freeman is the correct pick.

[Speedy88]

Coin flip. That decision would kill me. I'd probably lean Freeman, but only because of the matchup.

If Roddy doesn't play, go Freeman for sure.

[RealMadrid]

agree...Josh Freeman is the correct selection.

[LT Profits]

Interesting conundrum. Under normal circumstances Ryan would be the obvious pick simply because he is the better QB and he has a nice matchup with the Giants secondary having issues. Honestly I never even consider my opponent's lineup when I set mine and only worry about maximizing my own points. Especially since your never know when your opponent will make lineup changes. As long as Ryan scores more points than Freeman, then cancelling out your opponents receivers becomes meaningless.

Freeman, Saints Defense sucks... I am unloading on the OVER in that game

[GamblerSpirit]

Freeman will have a good game. Giants D>Saints D

[Straight Cash]

Hmm, my opponent has to make this same choice...he's going with Freeman, both are solid options though.

[Otters27]

Go with Ryan. he has been struggling lately but will have a big day

[will2survive]

I would go with Ryan. He's efficient and has plenty of targets that have proven themselves to be consistent and have also had breakout games. That said, it's a tough decision.

[Mikail]

I'd go with Josh Freeman. GL

[koz-man]

Freeman is the correct pick in this situation.

Matt Ryan

I would go with Freeman due to the matchups. Ryan is also a strong play though.

[LT Profits]

Like I say every single week, matchups only matter if the two players involved are very close. In this case, Ryan is clearly the better QB and he has a good matchup, so the fact that a lesser QB might have a better matchup should become moot. Otherwise you would start whichever QB is facing the Saints every week.

I would have to say Ryan big statement game after the playoffs last year in ATL they have never let them live that down. Big game for Matty Ice today IMO. good luck

[yisman]

Freeman has put up some pretty good numbers this year anyway

NO 30th ranked pass D in NFL according to DVOA
Giants have the 8th best pass D


huge difference

Yeah. I have had Freeman since week 6, and started him week 7 for Ryan's BYE week. He put up 420 and 3 TD's against the Saints then.

I'm still not sure, since Ryan has got me to this point.

[Robber]

I say freeman in dome vs saints

[yankeefan1024]

im still deciding too and feel the same was as onlooker because Ryan got me here but freeman's got the matchup.

Ryan is not clearly better. You're acting like this is Brady vs. Dalton or something.

They're pretty similar. Both good fantasy QBs but not great. Ryan is 8th in fantasy points among QBs this season.

They're on the same tier. If they both had similar matchups, I'd lean Ryan, but if one has the clearly better matchup (as is the case here. Giants have a good pass D, Saints have a terrible pass D), I'll go with him.

[k13]

Just pick the opposite of what everyone recommends.

[yisman]

Certainly looks now like Ryan was the correct pick.

Freeman struggling.

[PAULYPOKER]

Matt Ryan


Line says it all....................

Did ya take Ryan?

[Speedy88]

Really hope you went Ryan.

[onlooker]

Nope. Went Freeman. Oh well.

[Andy117]

Nope. Went Freeman. Oh well.

That sucks.

[Carseller4]

Laughing at all the "Saints D Sucks" comments.

But as a Saints fan, it shocked me also.

[ttwarrior1]

i never thought freeman was a good play this week,
giants have worst secondary in nfl at this point, why why why

[onlooker]

DX and Tynes putting up a big fat zero didn't help much either.

Kinda relieved my season is over, started getting burnt out. Won my buy-in back by winning the regular season. So I broke even. That is why I was able to gamble with Freeman and his better match-up. It just didn't work out. That's Fantasy.

[soccerzyko]

That sucks dude. I probably would have played Freeman too, though. Who would have thought his team would have put up a goose egg vs that terrible defense

[yisman]

I used Tynes and Freeman in gridiron challenge

I am baffled. Both seemed like excellent plays
