Should I start Drew Brees or Tony Romo for Week 2?

Answer 1

Brees, even with the bad week, he plays Tampa, so he will probably get back on track.

Answer 2

Romo plays a more difficult defense this week in Miami. So, don't expect the same numbers as last week (in fact, he may have peaked for the season).

And, consider this: Over the last two meetings with Tampa Bay, Brees has a passer rating of 111, with a total of 435 yards and 4 TDs. Not stellar, but not bad (200+ yards and 2 TDs on average). Also, if Brees doesn't light it up against Tampa Bay this weekend, he will be the biggest flop in fantasy football.

So, if you think Romo can get at least half of the production he got last week against the G-Men, take Romo. But, if you think Brees is going to step up after the embarassment of last week in Indy and pummel the Bucs, take Brees.

Personally, I try not to chase points (take people one week just because they got a bunch the week before, as opposed to looking at match-ups). But, Romo proved he can put up the points. Brees has yet to prove that last year wasn't a Katrina Magic fluke.

I think I would go with Romo.

Answer 3

I say start brees just because hes playing tampa he can beat their secondary and probably go for 2 tds and 310 yards
