Josh Freeman or Carson Palmer? Who should I start?

I'm pretty thin at QB this week but I have to make a choice.

    Freeman in a heartbeat. He's only had one single digit game this year and it was against the Steelers. Case Closed

    I have the exact same dilemma and I'm choosing Freeman because he scored more fantasy points against the weak Carolina team in week 2 than any other week. Carolina hasn't gotten better since then so this week should (I HOPE) be a ditto of the previous Carolina match-up.

    Palmer has his hands full with Indianapolis. Which is good and Bad. There are injury's to key players on both sides of the field and Ochocinco is OchoStinko this so far. It could turn out to be a high scoring game on both sides which would be good fantasy wise. But Palmer has a number of interceptions thrown under pressure and you can be sure the Colts are NOT going to let up on him.

    Bottom Line:

    Freeman = safe and respectable (13 to 18 or more) amount of fantasy points.

    Palmer = risky with a chance of tons (10 to 30+) of fantasy points.

    Palmer. The Bengals have sucked this year (I'm a fan, unfortunately. At least I have the Falcons haha) but Palmer has been solid almost every game. He still has T.O. Ocho and Shipley, and the Colts secondary isn't that great. What it boils down to is Carson is definitely better than Freeman, and the Bengals have more talent on offense and especially in the wide receiving core than the Buccaneers do.
