I was thinking about it earlier, but didn't respond because it is a tough, tough decision. After week 1, I probably would have said Manning despite Houston's defense being as tough as they are.....but his sub-par week 2 performance against a D that I don't consider to be as good as Houston's D has kind of put a spin on things.

Honestly, I'd probably go Flacco....I think NE's D is more vulnerable to giving up FF points. With Brady on the opposing side and Boldin and Smith being relatively decent WR options for Flacco (along with a TE who has been doing well), I think that game has more potential of being a shootout....even though Brady will be going against a Ravens D that is tougher than the Arizona D that he did not do much against.

And then again, Manning did well against a tough Pittsburgh D......

I would probably go Flacco, but man that is a tough one.

seeing as the Ravens have turned Rice into a blocking fullback for their new pass all the time offense (nah, I ain't bitter), I'd say Flacco

i think houston is going to smash Manning

Thanks for the responses.

If Manning hadn't looked just flat awful last week, I don't think this would even be an issue. Manning usually feasts on blitz heavy defenses, but I just feel he isn't quite back to that guy yet.

Basically, by me starting Flacco, it means Peyton will go for 35+ points today. So take that under adisement, KcMizzou. :D

Anyone with an updates on Stafford?

It's worth noting the Lions have a bye week after this Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings and could conceivably get two weeks of rest while missing only one game if it comes to that. "
