Derek Anderson

Post by vinsanity »

I got em on two teams, as a backup. Can I possibly start Derek Anderson over Peyton Manning or Carson Palmer?

This week:
Anderson - 21 pts
Manning - 18 pts
Palmer - 13 pts

Next week:
Anderson v Sea
Manning v NE
Carson @ Buff

Can you justify Anderson at home vs a weak Seattle team over Manning at home vs a tough NE defense? How bout over a struggling Palmer on the road in the cold?

I'd personally trade Palmer or Manning for RB or WR help. You don't need 3 QBs.

It's two teams. One team is Manning/Anderson the other is Palmer/Anderson.

Ah! Twood be nice if I actually knew how to read.

I'd consider starting Ando over Manning only because NE has destroyed many a strong QB this year. With Palmer... its a close one. Its not like Anderson hasn't been consistently good.

Manning has led the Colts to a 35 points per game average against the Pats in their last 3 meetings, all of which were won by the Colts. If Harrison is ready to go against them (and I would guess he will be), I think Peyton and the Colts will score some points and actually beat the Patriots.

But I would not fault you for starting Anderson in his stead this one time.
