Need to pick up a QB for week 6, any advice?

Question

I was thinking either Huard since Cincy defense is no good,
Lemon since they are playing Cleveland, but anyone got any other ideas or insite?

Answer 1

Huard is injured and Brody Croyle will get the start against Cincy. If you want to roll the dice, take Croyle. With the Kansas City running game almost non-existent, they rely on the passing game. Croyle has two excellent options in WR Dwayne Bowe and some TE named Tony Something-or-other. Because of lapses in KC's defense, the Bengals will probably jump out to an early lead. So, the Chiefs will be playing catch-up - through the air - most of the game.

Last week against Jacksonville, the Chiefs were shut out until the last 5 minutes of the game (with Damon Huard). Coach Edwards sent in Croyle on the last series in an attempt to save face and at least not get shut out in their own stadium. Croyle responded by marching the team down the field and into the end zone - with a TD pass.

Now, that might have just been a gratuitous TD that the Jags were happy to give up to let the clock run out. And, maybe Croyle isn't any better than a healthy Huard. But, against the Bengals defense, anything can happen.

Answer 2

Neither of these choices really stand out. Any of the following available in your league?

- Warner (ARI)
- Campbell (WAS)
- Garrad (JAC)

?

I'd take any of these 3 over Huard or Lemon. If I really had to choose, I guess I'd choose Lemon, but it's not really an easy choice IMO.

Answer 3

I would take Warner if he is still available.
