week 1 qb

[bekelle]

Derek Carr OR Ben Roethlisberger

anyone have good weekly ranking websites I can check or just post on here ?

[PenguinHunter]

NFL.com has a rankings from each of their guys... and then an average... I usually use it and put some emphasis on Fabiano's but you can pick the guy you trust most or just ride the average as well.

Per these... Big Ben is average at 7.... Carr is average 10.

Fabiano has Carr at 6... Big Ben at 8.

Grant has Big Ben at 8 and Carr at 11.

so whats your vote lol

Sorry... I put Emphasis on Fabiano's picks he has carried me to back to back championships... so I would go with Carr.

For me, you can't beat fantasypros.com
I mean, any site that collects 50+ (experts) is better than some site that is just a couple guys' opinions.

They've got Carr/Roeth as 5/6 for Week 1.
So... it's a coin toss.

The OAK/NO game is in the dome, so I'm preferential to that.
Also WAS should have their new golden-boy draped on A.Brown... that may not matter.
Yahoo shows T-storms for the outdoor game in WAS... which could make some difference.

I really like owning a key guy for MNF - that would be the reason to pick Ben.
But I really like having my QB in a dome - that would be my reason for Carr.

I also own Carr, so I'm biased there.

No biases here...

Carr is my pick. Attack the NO is a secondary to be attacking whenever you can this season. Big Ben has been mediocre at best on the road in the last three seasons and is down Bell, Bryant and a reliable TE. Think Carr is the safer play with both a higher floor and a higher ceiling.

thanks for the advice guys!!
I am starting carr let me know if any objections at this point

I would also go with Carr. Tough choice though.

I would also go with Carr in week 1. NO seems like an optimal match. I'll be playing my 2 OAK WRs.

I don't play you so go with whoever you want, lol.

Just kidding.

Oakland is like a box of chocolates-you never know what you're going to get. The game will likely be a shootout but New Orleans likely has one of the bottom 2 or 3 defences so Carr should rake. Oakland my favorite NFL team and have been for decades so hopefully I haven't jinxed them.

Over the course of the season Big Ben and the Steelers will pile up stats but IMO Washington's DB's are not to shabby so they may stifle Ben a little.

Carr has some nice early season matchups so it's a nice problem to have having him and Big Ben.
