Now ordinarily, this is a no brainer....Moss. However, with the trade (not being on the same page as Favre yet) and going up against the Jets CBs, I am wondering if Braylon Edwards may be the better play this week. Thoughts?
History says to go with Moss. Yes he was invisible last week...but that was a unique situation. 16 TDs in 16 previous Monday night games. He has as good a chance to score a TD in any given game as any WR in the league. Tough to bench Braylon, who's been hot, but I'd take my chances with Moss. Just my 2 cents.
Favre tends to have huge Games, when there's off the field News about him, and Moss loves the Big Stage. I'd go with Moss.
I would go with Moss. Unless the matchups are lopsoded you have to play your studs. Even when they are lopsided you should probably play your studs anyway. The Jets secondary is great but the Viking's pass rush will give the Sanchize some problems as well. Neither guy really has a great matchup.
It is kind of academic after yesterday. P. Manning had a bad game. I'm down by 39. I'd need 210 yds and 3 TDs from either Moss or Edwards to catch up. And he still has Folk playing tonight. I'll probably just play Moss. This way if the Jets get killed, I could have an upside (only Moss has a chance to put up those kinds of numbers). Thanks for the advice. My other game still has a remote chance (also started Manning). I'm down by 60 with Holmes, Keller, and Jets D (he's still got Shiancoe). Need to root for a 40-0 shutout.
I am on the other end. I have a 16 point lead and Shiancoe going against the Sanchize tonight. I think I will win but it could be very close.
Take Edwards so you don't have to root for moss against us. It'll be twice as sweet if Edwards gets a td or moss looks incompetent. It's Trey Songz in ya crib. Braylon Edwards has been on fire too.
If the Jets win 7-6 it still counts as a win. Thank god QBs only get 4 points per passing TD in my PPR league.
