    Default Newton, Luck or Kaepernick?

    Newton and Luck have been driving me nuts from week to week. One week on, one week off.. I can only play one QB.. I just picked up Kaepernick, since he's starting this week.

    Which do I play?!

    I would take Luck out of those three.

    Newton. Luck has been better at home all year. Det is coming around. Their D actualky looked damn good against Hou on Thansgiving. Their young D-limemen are playing. Det is a tough out, fighting for the playoffs.

    Car at KC, which is traditionally a hard place to play at. But c'mon, they're 1-10. I don't see how you sit Cam after thay performance. Supposedly, they lightened his load. Looks good on him.

    You're a Colts fan? Nice, me too!

    FYI its not like the Lions D is anything special, Newton has been inconsistent all year long.

    I'm not being biased here, I would play Luck, who has been the best QB of the three all year.

    I agree, Luck has been the best of the three overall, but he's a different QB away from home. Newton just had one of the strongest fantasy QB performances of the year and now he has KC, who has allowed 22TD passes this year - tied for 2nd most in the league. KC also gives up the 7th most points for fantasy QBs. Cam is too good of a play to sit, even in favor of Luck who has had a remarkable year.

    Depending on the OP's format, Luck was likely the superior fantasy player this week.

    I was matched up against Newton in one of my leagues, I've been starting Luck over Eli Manning lately and he hasn't disappointed.

    Newton had 29.08 fantasy points, while Luck had 31.94.
