25 yds = 1 pt
TD = 4 pts
no PPR
They were basically equal in week 1. This week Detroit faces a tough Minnesota defense, while Carolina plays Houston. Both QBs play at home this week.
Who is a better start? I do have Steve Smith on my roster so I like the option of hedging my bets by playing Kitna - but the Vikings looked really dang good against Atlanta!
Thanks -

Pido, Kitna has crazy weapons this year beyond tatum bell - Williams and Johnson are a force to be reckoned with.

Both QBs looked impressive last week against good pass defenses. But it's the Vikings' TEN game winning streak against the Lions that has be picking Delhomme this week. Antoine Winfield and Bryant McKinnie may be the only two Vikings to experience Minnesota loosing to Detroit. Plus we know what Delhomme used to be like and, although early, he's starting to look like the old Jake Delhomme.

I will start Delhomme for the following reasons:
1. Delhomme has a higher QB Rating against Houston (80.5%) than Kitna against Minnesota (48.2%).
2. Delhomme will be facing an easier assignment against Houston (3 Pts Allowed, 3 Sacks, 2 Int, 2 Fum Rcvd, 1 TD) than Kitna with Minnesota (3 Pts Allowed, 6 Sacks, 2 Int, 2 TD).
3. Delhomme has more weapons with Steve Smith and Deshaun Foster as KItna's Andy Mcdonald and Tatum Bell)

Start Kitna. The reason why the Vikings give up so few rushing yards is that they are soooo easy to pass against. Doesn't look like any great improvements have been made again this year, so look for one of the worst teams in the league against the pass to be just as bad as ever.

I wouldn't put much stock into the Vikings beating the Falcons. The Falcons SUCK.
That said, it is a fairly even matchup. Honestly, I don't think you can really predict which one would do better. Kitna has more weapons, but Delhomme has the best weapon. Win-win situation, I guess. Go with your gut, and you'll be fine.

I'd start Delhome, Hou sucks. Even with Sota beating up on Atl, thier defense is one of the top in the league. Last year and will be this year.
