Hey,
I find myself in a quandary…
Should I play Steve McNair (TEN), or Jeff Garcia (CLE) in week 2 in my Fantasy team??
Any arguments to help me reach a decision?

McNair. Indy’s passing defense is horrendous. Brady spread that offense around last week like he was up against high school kids.
McNair, easy. I wouldn’t play Garcia over McNair unless two things were happening- McNair playing a very tough defense, and Garcia playing a very shitty one. Indianapolis wouldn’t mind winning 44-41, and you like that. You like that a lot.
You don’t want to take advice from Munch or Jimmy Chitwood - they both LOST in week 1 in the SDMB He Hate Me Fantasy League! They clearly don’t know what they are talking about…
McNair, definitely. He’s a top play most weeks, and against Indy, doubly so.
Don’t make me angry, Wilson. You won’t like me when I’m angry. Nor will you like Jamal Lewis when he’s actually playing well, nor Barlow when he’s got Beasley blocking for him, or Drew Bennett when he’s not sucking. (Man, what a craptastic performance from the Falcon Twists this week, huh?)
If I were you, I’d agonize over my decision, then start Garcia. Once the game began I’d start to wonder if I made the wrong choice, lament my folly, get depressed because I was losing a fantasy football game, and get drunk to cope with the pain.
Or I guess you could start McNair.

the guy who wished he hadn’t started McNair last week.
You guys. I post a thread for discussion and trash talk about our league, and it gets ignored- but you take the talk to another thread. Well, that was obviously a mistake.
:smack:
Being the one to defeat Munch in the first week, my advice is: Start the one that will complement your team best. If you have a receiver from onme of their teams take that QB- it’s as if you’re doubling points, if QBs and WRs get the same amount for TDs and yardage.
If not, then start McNair. He has a lot more to work with.
Oh please, I had to watch my number one WR go down with a broken collar bone, then watch Amani Toomer and Stephen Davis suddenly age 10 years right before my eyes. Then realize that teams have figured out they can put 8 in the box and there’s nothing Kyle Boller can do about it - bad news for my boy Heap.
Anyway, take McNair. He’s going to light up Indianapolis in the air and on the ground. It’ll be ugly.
Smack talk is a beautiful, fleeting, fickle thing. Attempts must not be made to try to control it, or even contain it. A comparison between our league and breeding captive pandas could be made, but I’d hate to suggest/reveal that Hamlet likes having sex with bears.
Garcia produced decently last week against the Ravens. I had him benched, but Pennington produced (basically) the exact same points, so it didn’t bother me.
I know nothing about FF, but what I’d do is check the passing attempts vs rushing attempts, and passing TDs vs rushing TDs of both the Titans and Browns, trying to get a feel for how they tried to score. I know Garcia ran a TD in, but McNair does that too. So check if one of them does an even pass/run and another goes pass heavy. If that’s the case, take the pass heavy style.
Also check the yards per carry let up by both (next week’s) opponents. If one is soft against the run, don’t expect your QB to come out slinging it.
