I'm leaning towards Cam.

Now before you guys go nuts on me for thinking of benching this years MVP I have my reasons.

Rodgers is starting against a top 5 pass defense on a short week on the road.

Cam is playing the Colts. Need I say more?


While I think both qb's will have good games I think that Cam is more likely to go "off" and have a monster game.

This team of mine is in the top 30 in the online and the majority of the teams ahead of me have Rodgers starting and while I know the possibility of Rodger having a off game is slight this may be the best chance I have to gain some ground with little risk.


Tell me if I'm a idiot or not.

If you own A. Rodgers - you play him. That's my take. That other stuff is just one part of your brain trying to talk you out of the very obvious.
(I know - I played Lumpkin over Blount in one league because I figured TB would be way behind GB and just throw and Lumpkin would get catches....of course Blount had that run of the year 50 yard TD run - Play your best players.)

Rodgers. Every time.

It doesn't matter if it is on the road. Green Bay's offense hums. Detroit has the problem in trying to get a defensive game plan implemented in a few days. Not going to happen.

My reasoning is that I think there probably will not be a huge difference in points between Cam and Rodgers but the possiblity of Ndamukong Suh having a impact on Rodgers having a off game is greater.

You have to follow your gut. You live and die by your own decisions. If you start Rodgers and Cam goes off, you'll be pissed for not listening to those voices and yes, we all hear those voices.

If you start Cam and Rodgers does what he has done for basically the last 20 games, then you will probably not over think a decision like this EVER again.

If you polled 100 Fantasy players, my guess would be that 99 or more would say to start Rodgers. Does that make them right? Only you can decide.

Personally, Rodgers would not sit unless he was injured, wasn't guaranteed to play more than 1/4 or if the weather was soooo bad that......

Good Luck.

Note: The 99 of 100 number could be lower if one of the individuals polled was your opponent this week.

Rodgers....and you can't even consider Cam IMO.

There is a good chance Carolina jumps out and will just run DeAngelo and Stewart into the ground, because Indy is that bad.

Green Bay and Detroit has all the makings of a shootout, which means it probably won't be. :rolleyes:

Rodgers has a higher ceiling but more importantly a much lower floor. This game will be a shoot out. The Colts may not put up much of a fight. I could actually see Deangelo having a decent game. Don't over think it.

Thanks everyone. You have talked me down off the ledge. Rodgers it is.
