cpetro56 0 Posted December 12, 2014 Who should i start Big Ben at ATL or Rodgers at Buffalo is a gutsy move but Ben looks to have the bigger game potential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMMensaMind 459 Posted December 12, 2014 IMO this isn't close. You go with Ben. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinsrule05 30 Posted December 12, 2014 The way I would look at this is who would you be more pissed if you missed out on a big game. Rodgers is top 1 or 2 in the game now. Yes, Ben could outscore him but I wouldn't be pissed at missing out on a fluke day. I would be pissed at Rodgers scoring 30 on my bench. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMMensaMind 459 Posted December 12, 2014 You wouldn't be pissed about him scoring 30 on your bench if Ben scored 33 though. I think Rodgers will get his, but I think Ben is the safer and smarter play. That BUF D pressure is no joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giantwarrior 1 Posted December 12, 2014 Tough one, but I'd have to go with Big Ben here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

minuteofdecay 5 Posted December 12, 2014 As a Rodgers owner I have to say Ben too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TennisMenace 156 Posted December 13, 2014 About even. I think Falcons come to play knowing how important this is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Truebluey 3 Posted December 13, 2014 Can't sit Aaron. Just can't. Rodgers was fine against Pats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steppdaddy 0 Posted December 13, 2014 I always believe in never benching your Studs and Rodgers is the better q.b. of the two. Green Bay will not be able to run the ball against the Bills and will need to throw. Atlanta is 32 against the pass and Ben should light them up.......but Atlanta can't stop the run either and Bell could have 35 carries for 150 and 2 tds, not needing Ben. Ben could honestly drop 40 against this team and if you are scared you can't outscore your opponent, then start him on the upside possibility. Rodgers is the number 2 scoring qb in fantasy and will put up points. Go with your gut. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=441727 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dain11279 928 Posted December 13, 2014 I'd prolly go with Big Ben. The difference in defenses they're going against is quite substantial. And Pitt is in a dome while Rodgers will be playing outside in the unpredictable western New York weather. The only thing that would worry me about it is if the Stillers get up early and it turns into the Le'Veon Bell show Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpetro56 0 Posted December 13, 2014 hi guys, thanks for the advice, i play a tuff team and to win i need pts, here is the team I'm playing against, that is why i'm considering playing Ben Luck vs Hou C.J Anderson at S.D L.Miller at N.E Calvin Dez J.Gordon A.J Green Greg Olsen Car vs Tampa Prater vs Minn so you see how tuff this team is, below is my team, so i need to make the right starts Rodgers at buff or Ben at atl Fred vs packers J.Bell vs Minn D.Thomas at S.D Maclin vs Dallas Golden Tate vs Minn Donnell vs Wash Herron vs Hou or M.Bryant at Atl Balt vs Jax or Det vs minn gustowski Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beatzmode 3 Posted December 13, 2014 You could play Ben based on my fantasy tool, but Rodgers is his equal. If this was my team, then I would leave it up to my #1 or #2 pick to take me to fantasy stardom. But, if you must know Ben is definitely usable in this scenario. He's getting a 20 point projection (Roders = 22), playing in better weather conditions, and facing a defense allowing 16+ to opposing QBs. My advice though is start Rodgers. He's proven historically (23 ppg avg) that he's a stellar QB regardless of the weather conditions. Best of luck this week and hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
