Title Game QB: Keenum, Foles, or Bortles (1 Viewer)

Struggling on which of the 3 to pick (too bad Wentz got hurt). Right now leaning towards Keenum as I'll also be playing Thielen.

My league does have a quirky bonus point rule: 5 points for passing over 300 yds

Let's hear from the crowd, happy to respond on others questions as well

Thanks!

My Team (current starters in bold):

QB: Keenum, Foles, Bortles

RB: LeVeon Bell, Jordan Howard, Tarik Cohen, Austin Ekeler

WR: DeAndre Hopkins, Adam Thielen, Demaryius Thomas, Stephon Diggs, Corey Coleman

TE: Charles Clay

D: Jaguars

K: Harrison Butker

 
I am facing a similar decision (Keenum, Foles or A. Smith), and I am likely going with Keenum, which is who I would choose in your scenario as well.

 
Exact same choice for me, going Bortles as of now but thinking about swapping to Keenum. Folks feels like chasing points a bit.

 
Keenum would be my choice as well, and like the others I also have Keenum and Foles on my team... I just have to trust Keenum, he's proven he is a QB1 and he has a plus matchup. Could he #### the bed, yep, that's the luck of Fantasy Football.... but based on his performance, his matchup Keenum should play over Foles who lacks adequate performance history and has a slightly worse matchup. If you're a gut person and you truly feel like he should be your guy, just remember that Foles also may have nothing to play for Sunday should the Vikings lose... and while I don't think that would slow him down by 50% or anything, it may shave 10-20% off his value should coaches decide to play conservative in an attempt to keep their studs healthy.

 
They are close but I like Keenum because that will give you more information for lineup setting on Sunday.  If he craps the bed you know you are behind a bit and can adjust with higher upside guys. If he puts up a big number then you can maybe break a lineup tie or two by going with the safer floor.
