Who should I start at QB this week for fantasy, Drew Brees or Eli Manning?
Drew Brees is at Cincinatti, who is 2-9 and doesn't really have a defense worthy of mention. Brees can pick it apart slowly but surely.
Eli Manning is hosting Washington, whose only worthy defender is DeAngelo Hall and whose defense has been consistently pillaged by opposing QB's.

Hicks and Smith both didn't play last week for the giants because of injuries. There are going pretty low on the depth chart for receivers. You might want to keep an eye out on if those 2 guys are going to start. Without Hicks, they've been doing a lot more short passes. If it's inside the redzone, they'll run the ball a lot more than normal too. And against the redskins, it'll probably be a 17-14 or 21-17 type of game. So as far as fantasy points, I'd say Brees would have more points this week than Eli.

That's what I was thinking too, especially since the Redskins lost to Minnesota last week (YAY, 4-7 Vikes) 17-13.
Thanks!

Daniel is correct. Also, Eli will be without the best receiver in the league, Hakeem Nicks. ;)

Another question:
I can start 3 receivers (2 WR's and a flex). I'm looking at moving Brandon Lloyd from flex to WR and either starting Anthony Dixon (RB, SF) or picking up Keiland Williams (RB, WAS) for my flex spot.
However, I have a plethora of good receivers and will only be able to start one (since Lloyd will be stapled to WR and I'll have Williams or Dixon in flex):
James Jones (GB, hosting San Fran this week)
Mario Manningham (NYG, hosting WAS this week)
Hines Ward (PIT, at Baltimore this week)
Santonio Holmes (NYJ, at NE this week)
Emmanuel Sanders (PIT, at Baltimore this week)

lol, I always call him Hicks for some reason, I guess cause the cavs have JJ Hickson, or blending the two names together..something, haha

See above question, please.
-
Lloyd, Manningham, and pickup Williams. Drop Sanders.
-
Holmes for sure. NE has a surprisingly bad pass defense and Holmes has been hot.
-
Holmes, Lloyd and Manningham.
-
Regardless of which 3 you pick, I think Picking up Williams and Dropping Sanders makes your team better for the rest of the season.

Why not pick up Westbrook?

I was going to pick him up, but someone beat me to it.... :(
So start Holmes and Lloyd in WR and pick up Keiland Williams for my flex spot?
