Joe Flacco or Tom Brady: Who should start?

Joe Flacco is playing Cleveland, Tom Brady is playing Atlanta. Flacco is having a great year, but Brady can light it up on any given Sunday. I'm torn on who to start, any advice?

    I would start Brady, one because they are going to bounce back, and I am a firm believer in starting your starters, I am sure you drafted Brady to be your starter. and two, the Ravens like Minn. and Denver, will probably run the ball down the Browns throat, meaning the passing game for Flacco, could be on the low end.

    I rather doubt Brady would be close out; and with Wes Welker lower back healthful interior the lineup, he will atleast have that selection which he did no longer for the 1st few weeks which hindered the offenses production and his very own. Flacco has been great; besides the fact that that's on no account a given he would be extremely-efficient which Brady is majorly able to. Flacco and the Ravens have a tendacy to run first, and take the conservative attitude. it fairly is on no account the case with the recent England Patriots. The secure wager for "first rate factors" is Joe Flacco. the extra acceptable reward right here, is Tom Brady for probable "vast factors" in spite of taking part in what seems to be an somewhat solid Denver secondary. Brady could be my selection.

    Brady is your number one QB obviously, but in FF you need to take risks at times. If Brady was consistently putting up 30+ points in the first two weeks, then it is a no brainer, start Brady.

    On the other hand, Flacco is a decent QB to start. He is playing at home vs. Cleveland who has a terrible defense. Flacco played at home in week 1 vs. KC; who has a terrible defense as well, and threw for 300+ yards and 3 TD's. Main reason is because they ran the ball so well which setup the play action pass in the redzone.

    Normally i would say start Flacco because cleveland hasn't impressed me on defense and certainly not in their secondary. However Brady has two td's and didn't throw one all last game. So you know he's gonna be looking to take out the embarrassment of last week on his victims the Falcons this week. I expect 3 or 4 td this week especially since they're playing at home in Foxboro

    Source(s): I'm a super fantasy and sports fan but most importantly i live north of boston so i know what to expect from the patriots especially after a lose.

    It seems kinda tough, but it's pretty hard to argue against Brady. They're gonna want to bounce back from last weeks loss and the only way they are gonna have a chance is by going into a shotgun formation pass frenzy.

    I'd play Flacco because the Browns suck.

    This could be the worst team ever in Browns history...the opposing QB each week will be a great play.

    I would start brady everytime. he had one bad week, nothing to worry about. That's probably who you invested more in, so that's who you should go with.
