Start Flacco or Orton?

[SLGRAF]

I picked up Orton this week, because Flacco and Favre have both been disappointing, but, I did not want to drop either of them yet. Flacco faces Cleveland, who are very weak, so the Ravens can likely win with a very conservative offensive plan. But, Flacco DID have one huge game against Cleveland last year. Orton faces Indy, who have a decent defense, and it may be a shootout. But, can Orton really keep up the pace that he has set the first two weeks?

Tough call. Flacco should have his first solid game of the year against CLE but then again DEN-IND has the chance to be a high scoring game.

I say go with Orton until Flacco comes back around. I don't think Flacco will go off unless he just keeps passing to Rice. Orton will have a big load to carry with Buckhalter as the RB1.

I've benched Flacco in the one league I own him.

Thanks for the replies. I have benched Flacco and am starting Orton. I need a good week from my QB this week, considering that Turner is not at 100%, and Ronnie Brown has a tough matchup, so my RB stats might be down.
