Subject: Week 11 Who to start?

Well I have the same problem in 2 leagues (one of which is the Rotoguru Auction League). Scoring is pretty standard. One league give +3 for 300 passing yards.
I can't believe I'm actually asking this, but do I start Tony Romo at Washington or Matt Ryan at home against Denver.
Romo has the weapons and skill to put up 300+ yards and 3 TDs any day of the week, and it seems the Dallas staff will do anything to avoid running the ball, even with Brad Johnson and Brooks Bollinger under center. But they are on the road and playing a Washington defense that allows 192 passing yards per game and only 9 passing TDs all year. A lot of that has to do with Washington's ball control though, and they may be missing Portis this week, which would really hurt them since they'd have a guy name Rock running the, well, rock.
The other side of the coin is Matt Ryan. Matty Ice has been red hot of late, with a streak of 3 straight games of 2 TDs and 5 straight with more than 15 fantasy points. He goes up against one of the worst defenses in the game, Denver. They allow opposing QBs to complete 70% of their passes, for 242 yards a game. They let Brady Quinn put up 240 and 2 scores on them. I love the Ryan-Roddy connection and am riding Roddy in all of my fantasy leagues.
What do you guys think? I can't believe it, but I'm leaning towards starting Ryan in both leagues.
Depending on waiver claims I may have a RB question on Thursday. Thanks guys! |

I would definitely throw Matt Ryan in. Though Romo has the weapons to succeed I think TO is starting to get PO'd. And when he does that his team usually starts playing worse. Plus they are up against Wash. That division ALWAYS plays each other extremely tough and you just never know how its going to turn out.
Ryan has great stats, Roddy White and a crappy D at home.
On my side, have Matt Cassel (vs Jets) or Eli Manning (vs Bal). Jets are ranked pretty low vs the pass (#20 in passing yard/game allowed) and Bal is ranked pretty tough vs the pass (#9 in py/g allowed).
However, even though Cassel has been 200+ yards for 3 straight games he does not have a passig TD in the last 2 and the jets made him look just silly in week 2.
Eli has not been awesome, but he's been a pleasant surprise (took him as my back up to my 1st QB carson palmer...yeah, this position has sucked for me all season). He's been consistently mediocre even against tough pass D's.

TMR wrote an article about this on espn.com yesterday. Whether or not you have the guts to be "that guy." With "that guy" being the guy who benches a top player due to matchup problems or matchup advantages for the backup. He advocates starting Thigpen this week instead of Romo. I assume Ryan vs Denver would be ranked higher than Thigpen.
I would definitely start Ryan this week due to matchup and Romo being on his first week back.

Here's one needing advice: Which WR to sit??
Jaskson vs CINN
Royal vs ATL
Colston vs KC
S Moss vs DAL
I am sure the one I pick to sit will be the star. Any advice??

I would sit Colston and Moss and start Jackson, Royal, and Ginn. That being said I am playing you this week so take that advice with a grain of salt. :)

thank goodness I started Cassel. Eli hasn't gone yet, but somehow I doubt he'll be putting up 400yards and 3TD's vs Bal
