Start Cam Newton or Joe Flacco
I just picked up Joe Flacco, the stats tell me to play Flacco over Newton, but Cam Newton has been great for me these past few weeks. Who do I start?

1Danny B (396 Reputation Points)Cam has been great, but part of that has been favorable matchups. He did well at home against the Bears D (better than last year, but still not good) and on the road against Cincinnati (a D that's been bad since their early bye week). I still think Cam is good, but I am skeptical that he can continue to sustain the same level of success with no RBs other than Reaves and a receiver corps where only one guy is good enough to demand solid coverage (Olsen). This week's matchup for Flacco, though, is great. He gets to play a weak D from Atlanta that could barely stop the Bears at all, and that was a home game. Flacco gets the Atlanta D in Baltimore, which is why he is projected so high this week. I think he'll live up to the projections and have a great week.
