It's the finals! Which QB to start for Week 16?

Question

Jeff Garcia @ Dallas
Vince Young @ Buffalo
Tom Brady @ Jacksonville

Please state your reasons! Thanks.

Can't go wrong with Brady? This season, he hasn't been consistent in fantasy football. In yahoo leagues, he's had a total of 12 points in the past 3 weeks (4 pts per week won't get it done). His last big game was in week 11. If he was up against a bad defensive team, I would start Brady no question. He's up against JAX, where they have basically shutout every stud QB, Peyton Manning, McNabb, and Vince Young last week.

Answer 1

It really depends on the scoring of your league, but without knowing that I think I'd go with Garcia. I have a similar issue in my league, I have Garcia, Pennington, and Kitna. The NFL is so unpredictable that it's really hard to determine who is going to do best, so I like to look at match-ups, recent scoring and overall consistency.

Young has put up some good numbers recently, but scored 0 in my league this last week. He has the potential to score big, but he might hang an egg to. If you are prepared to take a risk (meaning that the rest of your team is good enough to overcome a bad performance at QB and still get a respectable total) then go with Young.

Tom Brady's numbers have been pretty good all year. He's had some big games, and some not so big ones, but in your list of QBs he is probably most consistent. What I don't like about Brady is his match-up this week vs Jacksonville. JAC lost last week (to Young) but they only allowed 80 yards passing.

That leaves Garcia who definately gets the nod (for my team probably as well). In the games he's played, he has done pretty well. He has thrown only 1 INT, which is a big deal for me because it's -3. DAL has a decent defense, but I see this game as a pretty high scoring affair. The last time these teams met, 62 points were scored in the game. He's a solid pick and at the same time has the potential for a big game.

Answer 2

I would have to go with Vince Young. Brady is against a good D and Garcia is inconsistent

Answer 3

Jeff Garcia

Answer 4

jeff garcia is the best play here. vince young is still a rookie in his learning stages, still makes mistakes, but is a ok, B grade qb. and brady is too inconsistant, the way he has been playing i wouldnt start him. and garcia has only thrown 1 int since being a starter for the eagles. hes thrown 9 tds. thats a 9-1 td to int ratio. which is hella good. hope my advice helps. go wit garcia.

Answer 5

Go Jeff Garcia the Dallas pass defense hasn't been that great this year. Young is too inconsistant and Jacksonville plays really well at home.

Answer 6

Tom Brady are you kidding! Vince young doesnt have that great of an arm and garcia isnt to great. Brady's definitly the best!

Answer 7

Id go with tom brady. Its december, and if you look at brady in december, you'd almost be crazy not to start him. His numbers are amazing. not only that, im a new england fan, and i myself am moving into the finals on my fantasy football teams.and i hav started brady in every game this eason but for the bye week. It would be a damn good choice to start him.

Answer 8

You cant go wrong with Brady, dont try to get creative in the last week, especially since the championship is on the line. Based on those 3 QBs and their matchups, Brady is the best bet. Not to mention Jacksonville has been on a slide as of late.

Answer 9

Garcia doesn't make mistakes and is going up against a horrible pass D.

Brady has no wrs and is playing at JAX

Young is playing on the road at Buffalo...he's a rookie

GARCIA by Far

Answer 10

I'd also go with Brady even though i dont like him he puts up big number at the ends of seasons.
