I know many hate when someone askes advise on Fantasy Football and it annoys me also but I'm going to do it anyway.

I'm in a Dynasty league in which I own Flacco, Bradford and McCoy. I know. Weak but it's a Dynasty league and I am going young at QB hoping for the future.


All that said who would you start in week 1? I would normally go with Bradford but am leaning toward McCoy against a bad defense. Am I being a homer?

I don't think it's too much of a homer pick.

Bradford is going against what should be a tough Philly Defense, though he may still be able to produce some points.

Flacco is going against Pitts, and often Balt vs Pitts are low scoring defensive affairs.

McCoy is going up against a weak Cincy team, but even when Cincy and Cleveland are doing horrible, they have a tendency of becoming a high scoring shootout.

Between those three, I would go with either McCoy or Bradford. Bradford may be going against a possible tough D, but still may have enough weapons to offset it, but I like McCoy's odds better.

Of these matchups, McCoy vs. Cincy definitely shuold have the most passes with a positive outcome. Go with McCoy.

That being said, I'm sorry about your unfortunate QB situation. Is Kyle Orton available in your league?

I dont think your QB situation is all that bad, I guess it depends how many teams are in your league and the rest of your team. If its a 12 team league then you are fine at QB and even better since it is a Dynasty.

As far as who to start, Id go Bradford.

I would not go with Bradford until I see that Philly secondary in real action (along with their DL). So, since you can't do that, I would stay away.

Tough call because Flacco is the 'most proven' but he has struggled mightily against Pitt. McCoy actually might make the most sense (but who knows how our offense will really be. Flacco is probably the safest).

Mccoy is playing a weak d. And the other two are playing monsters.

Thanks for the responses. I know my QB situation is a little weak but I'm pretty happy with my team overall. I have Charles and McCoy as my starting backs in a PPR league so my whole team isn't as dire as my QB.

I think I'm going with the crowd here and playing McCoy. I would like to get a couple of weeks to see how the team plays under a new coach but considering the defenses the other 2 face I don't think I can play them.

I like his odds. Flacco vs the Rust, not as good.

You do realize it doesn't matter right?

Whoever you play, someone else will have a better game...

It's a FF Law...

Last year my bro picked up Hillis after the KC game, and then didn't play him because we we're going up against Baltimore's defense...

I laughed, alot, that Sunday...
