nhoops Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hi, So the QB position has been a frustrating one since the early weeks. Standard scoring I have Eli Manning on a bye. M.Ryan @ Car Sanchez v. Jax - just picked up, The Jax D can be thrown on and the Jets are at home....but I see big days out of MJD and T.Jones. Will Ryan break out of his funk and toss a couple of TDs? ATL plays a division foe and is in the running for the Wild Card right now. Thoughts?

Montana is da Man Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I have to go with Sanchez. I think he throws 1 or 2 and they are going to have to pass to open up the running game. Ryan has not done much lately and Carolina has a good pass D. Even if Sanchez doesn't throw 2, he'll most likely run for one and throw one. Please see mine: http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?showtopic=307794 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delusions of grandeur Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Yes, despite some hype about Carolina's supposed strong pass D, Ryan threw for 3 TD's the first time this year. The kid works really hard too, and especially after some tough losses recently, I only see him working to get better. It is a little scary that Carolina even gave the Saints some fits last week, but the Falcons are very well-coached under Mike Smith (and even more fired up to play for him after he manhandled Deangelo. Best $15,000 he ever spent). It's really the D that is more susceptible though, and we might not be able to lean on Turner in this game. But aside from all that, with Eli on a bye, he's definitely the safer pick than Sanchez to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know how important this game is right now for our playoff chances, and we always play this game like a rivalry game, regardless of which team is doing better. On the opposite end, I know the Jets have said they're scaling back the offense for Sanchez. But whether that means calling easier plays or taking the ball out of his hands (or both), I don't know.

Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I think I trust Ryan more right now even with Sanchez having what looks like a better matchup I just don't trust the rook as much as I would trust Ryan to post viable fantasy stats! http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?showtopic=307803 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalEmpire.com Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 (DISCLAIMER: I'm totally torn between these guys and their matchups, but want to give you a response since you answered mine) I think Ryan is the play just barely over Sanchez. This IS a toss-up to me, but I see White and Gonzo getting a TD and White having more targets after such a quiet afternoon last Sunday. I think Jacksonville will grind it out as long as they can with MJD, especially if the Jets D continues to be a shadow of what it was at the start of the season. Thanks for answering mine.

MrTed46 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I also have sanchez and ryan and I am not even debating it...Ryan. I dont trust Sanchez (and I am a NY Homer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhoops Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 ok, I was leaning toward Ryan so thanks for the input. I just hate seeing him put up another 10 pnt week compared to his 1st few. Hopefully my RB (C.Johnson, and P.Thomas) make it an easy day for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree22 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 tough call but I would go with Ryan (safe) the known quantity. Sanchez (the most upside) has been worse then Ryan even though Sanchez's matchup is great. can you look at mine. http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?showtopic=307866 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
