CHAMPIONSHIP ON THE LINE: WHO TO START AT QB? PHENOM TIM TEBOW OR SOLID ELI MANNING?

Last time the Giants faced the Skins, they pummeled them ON THE GROUND (4 rushing TDs), and not a single Manning TD. This week, Hakeem Nicks is OUT, as is their center Sean O'Harrah. Meanwhile, Tebow's stock continues to rise with his passing and impressive rushing. He's at home, and the Chargers let up 4 TDs to Carson Palmer last week. I've ridden Manning all year long and he's been steady, for the most part. But Tebow's got some real value. What do you guys and girls think????

    I think Tebow is a better start this week, his confidence is growing and he has posted a solid 22 each of the last 2 weeks

    DEFINITELY Manning. The Redskins secondary is terrible and injury-decimated. He'll put up some serious numbers this week. Yeah, he'll probably throw a couple picks. But his yardage and TDs will more than make up for it in fantasy points.

    I don't trust Tebow against the Chargers D. Despite a bad performance last week, they're still the #1 pass defense in the league and very stingy versus fantasy QBs. It's quite possible Tebow will have a great week, but with the championship on the line I wouldn't risk it.

    @Michael...Tebow potentially being a bust and Eli's veteran leadership have nothing to do with who will be a better fantasy start this week.

    Eli Manning. Tim Tebow will get spanked by the Chargers great defense. Yes, they gave up alot of TDs to Cincy but in my opinion, that was a fluke.

    Look for Eli to have a decent day agaisnt the 27th ranked pass defense in the league!

    I know it's way too early to make predictions about Tebow, but I honestly think he's gonna be a bust. Yeah, it's true that's kind of a bold statement to make this early in someone's career, but if you agree with that then you might also have to agree that giving him so much praise as alot of people have been quick to do is equally as bold a statement to make. I don't think him being a bust lies in his lack of talent, because I think he's definitely got the talent to be great. I think he's gonna be a bust due to injuries. He aint in college anymore, but he still tries to run like he's in college. That's just asking for trouble. I'd go with Eli. He's been to the big stage and showed great composure. He's got the experience. You gotta go with Eli. Even all you Eli haters would have to agree.

    @Jordan. Okay I'm a dumby. I totally misread that. I don't play fantasy football so when dude said championship on the line. I was thinking, like, in a hypothetical sense, if you were in the superbowl who would you rather have as your starting QB. My Bad, but still Eli. Just because I'm a Giants fan.... :| I still think Tebow will be a bust though

    I love Tebow, but the Giants are on the bubble for the playoffs so you have to go with Manning I believe.

    Good luck.
