    Fantasy: Which QB Should I Start?

    Need a QB for week 7. Can't make up my mind.

    Tom Brady vs Jets on TNF (heavy rain and thunderstorms for this game)
    Tony Romo vs Giants
    Joe Flacco vs Falcons

    I had my heart set on starting Brady against a weak Jets secondary, but after seeing the weather report, I'm having second thoughts. Weather forecast calls for "heavy rain" and thunderstorms. With the Jets inept offense, could be a game where Pats run it a lot and settle for fg's.

    I'm leaning towards playing it safe with Romo or Flacco.

    I always prefer to just leave Thursday games alone unless it's one of my must starts. Can't go wrong with either qb option but I'd take romo

    Starting a decent qb vs Falcons D is never a bad idea.

    Ok. Probably going to hold off on Brady unless the weather changes. Total is dropping big time in that game, looks like it could be slugfest tomorrow.

    Leaning towards going with Flacco. Going to keep an eye on Romo's health updates, Giants could also be without Rodgers-Chromartie and are already without their slot cb.

    I'd go with Flacco as well, a nice matchup against the Falcons.

    Damn. Flacco just got scooped oup off the ww. Looks like it is either Brady or Romo. Going to wait and see this weather. Starting to sound like it could clear up a bit by game-time.

    Flacco will have a big day against the Falcons I would think given their lack of a pass rush. Flacco feasts on the NFC South with a passer rating of over 140 against the Bucs and Panthers. And Falcons are just woeful on the road. Hopefully you didn't go with Brady.

    Did you play Brady? Or you getting stuck with Romo?

    Didn't play Brady. Everyone talking up the bad weather, and of course it was perfect weather. Going with Romo. Hoping for at least 250 yards and a couple TDs.

    This is a good week for FLACCO, I picked him up myself and started him in one of my leagues.

    Flacco was the worst performer of these 3. Brady and the pats seem to be clicking now, I'd try and ride him as of now. Next week they have Chicago which is a favorable match up.

    Romo had a nice game yesterday, pretty much matched Brady in points. Flacco was disappointing considering the matchup he had.

    Was he ? Honestly I did not look at the stats only the scores. Saw 29 - 7, thought it was a good day for him. Now I am looking at his numbers against the Falcons and he certainly was the worst out of the three with the two picks, but if I had to make the choice again based on the match ups I would still have gone with Flacco last week.
