Brees vs Bears or Rivers vs Pats (1 Viewer)

I would normally never consider sitting Brees at home but Rivers' matchup looks so good!  Help!  I've been debating with myself all week!

I agree that Brees is almost an auto start each week.

Rivers has been scoring fairly close to Brees though and does have the better match up.

The Chargers gave up WR Inman so they must be pretty confident in their stable of receivers right now. Rightly so. The Patriots defense has not been good and should force a higher scoring game.

Meanwhile the Bears try to possess the ball as much as possible and limit the opposing teams opportunities as much as they can. I think Brees is too good for the Bears to have their way but I see more upside for Rivers than Brees due to the match up.

So I guess I would start RIvers, though normally I think Brees is better than Rivers is.

I'd go Brees. He's due for a big game. Rivers has a tendency to underachieve in great matchups.

I second travdogg, though following Biabreakable's advice I might go Rivers if I needed to choose ceiling.

Rivers...The Pat’s are a better matchup than the Bears

Well hell guys.... of course it's split lol  I think I'm going to stick with Brees due to the West coast team traveling all the way East and it's 90% chance of rain in NE.  Of course I may switch it last second!  Ughhhhh

Thanks for the answers guys!
