Championship Game: Who do I start at QB?
My options are Philip Rivers, Derek Carr, Ryan FitzpatrickThe Rivers & Carr matchup could turn into a track meet, but both QBs have put up some duds lately. I lean towards Carr on that one.
They all have their problems & I feel like any one of them could blow up for 30 or drop an 8.
Who would you pick and why?
On the other side, Fitz has been on fire recently and has a good floor when playing tougher defenses. I am nervous about him playing New England since they have been pretty good.
Rivers is easily the most talented one of the three and has the highest floor, he can easily throw up 30 plus any given game if he is on fire. He also has the lowest floor due to his depleted WR core and poor offensive line. He has thrown out 3 major duds under 10 pts in the last 5 games.
Carr - has been up and down all year. It is a good match up but it is also a division game on a Thursday night. Neither team is playing for anything, I guarantee its sloppy.
I personally would go with Fitzpatrick, he is the safest pick and he has easily been the most consistent and highest scoring option at the QB position this year. I don't see it changing especially in a game with everything on the line.
Fantasypros.com has Fitzpatrick ranked the highest @ 11, Carr @ 13 and Rivers @ 14, so it is a close call. That sites accumulates all experts rankings and averages them out, includes rankings from Espn, Nfl, Yahoo etc.
