    Dalton this week. Pittsburg defense hasn't been good, and Andy has.

    Dalton is red-hot and coming off his bye. Ben has been sidelined for 3 weeks and may be rusty and less mobile than we're used to. I say it's Dalton all the way this week. I think he's the surer thing. ROS, it's probably Ben. But right now? Dalton.

    Outstanding, guys! I appreciate your input. It's a pretty hard choice to have...but a nice one! Was leaning toward Ben but have to consider what you guys are saying. Which one do you think will have a tougher time with the defense they are facing? DVOA's are: CIN: 2.1% (#13), PIT: 2.9% (#16).

    You're right, these are the good problems (though they can be just as vexing as the ones where you're picking through the scrap heap). Ultimately, this might be one where at the end of the day you'll wonder why you thought about it so much because they're BOTH going to go off. Just personally, I always temper expectations with a player returning from injury. That's one thing. Then, I consider the other factors; Dalton's en fuego, Pitt's decent against the run, but the pass defense isn't scintillating, could be a shootout. Add 'em all up and I go Dalton.

    Exactly. Upside with Ben or Dalton if you need a higher floor this week.

    Either, upside with Big Ben is they may be behind, he may have to throw
