Peyton Manning, because he looked very good when he played against San Fran in the 3rd preseason game when he played a full half against their starter. RG3's a rookie. You might be thinking in your head that he'll be like Cam Newton the first game he had against Arizona since Arizonas defense hadn't seen him on tape. Peyton has a good OL to help him out--better than the one he had in Indy-- and he has some young weapons and good TE's to help him out and draw guys away from blitzing and into coverage. RG3 you have to figure is going to throw a pick and/or fumble, so you got to play him with caution knowing he's an exciting rookie. Plus he's in a hard place for any QB to play. Go with Peyton. You can thank or hate me later.

In real life, you'd have to be more confident in Manning. He's proven.

In fantasy, I'd start RGIII. You have to look at the defenses they're facing. Griffin's game might be a shootout for him. If the Skins aren't playing catch up, they might. be passing just to keep pace with the Saints. He should put up bigger numbers. I'd roll the dice on him. Although, the Steelers D is getting old and they're missing Ryan Clark in Denver again because of his health condition.


You have an amazing QB situation. I'd trade Manning mid-season, after your bye...before he gets hurt.



I'm starting Cam Newton over Brees on one of my teams. TB's defense is trash and I think he'll light them up more than Brees can against the Skins. In real life, I'd take Brees though.
