Culpepper Who's Starting Him? (1 Viewer)

The Black Hole
The Chargers are 27th vs the pass this season and 10th vs the run... With Jordan a big question mark and Rhodes status for carring the load in question.. What are chances of seeing a 280 3TD game?? I think he is going to go off this week.. Rivalry games are special and none of the norms seem to play a factor.. I picked him up desperately in 1 league and starting him..

I'm starting him over Vince Young. I see the TEN vs TB game to be a grind-it-out game whereas OAK vs SD could be a high scoring affair. It's risky, but I'm sick of playing it safe. If he doesn't perform at Oakland - thereby blowing his chance of being a starter again in this league - I'm officially going to dub him a new name:

Done-te Cul-pooper.

 
Kitna on a bye, Frerotte vs BAL? no ty, Carr? yeah right, I just read that damon huard is starting vs CIN, not Croyle, so it comes down to Huard and C-Pepp, not sure yet. But I was going to start Pepp until i just found out news on Huard

 
In a 16-team league, I lost my QB1 (Delhomme), the Buffalo QBs are on a bye and there's literally no QBs available on the wire.

I'm not only starting Culpepper this week, he's my #1 QB for the forseeable future!!!

Interesting. I'm debating between Campbell and C-Pepp and leaning towards Campbell because I think he is the safer choice. Why do you like C-Pepp over Campbell (and Garrard, for that matter)?

i know it is risky, the chargers have allowed 247pass yards allowed per game this year; that is 27th in the league. I think his knee is better and i like teams coming off a bye week.rolling with cpepp.i agree campbell is the safer choice....he will get you at least 15 points.
 
Cpep for me this week as big Ben is on a bye.

Traded away my original QB2 (Cutler) this week though, and Cpep will continue to start if he impresses me again this week

 
Picked up Warner and am starting him over CPep (Kitna on a bye). I want to see Daunte do it against a decent defense before I start him against a team that destroyed the Raiders offense last year.

 
This week, next week and the rest of the season.

Note: Start 2 QB league with Eli and Kellen Clemmens as my other QBs, so really I have no choice. So I am starting him with confidence.

 
I'm playing Favre over Culpepper which isn't much of a decision the way price-check has been playing this season. I am hoping Culpepper continues to get his roll on tho.

 
I have him as backup in 2 leagues

With Kitna and manning on a bye this week I am definetly starting him in one league and deciding between Cpepp and campbell in another.

 
Appear to be a lot of us debating the Culpepper vs. Campbell start this week. They play for similar offenses (run-first) and are going against similarly ranked defenses.

I guess the question is which opposing offense is more likely to advance the ball against their defense? The more the opposing team scores, the more our guy has to pass.

- Will a one-dimensional Packers' offense be able to throw on WASH? We saw what the Skins' DEF did to Kitna and Detroit last week. And Favre has arguably less supporting talent at the skill positions than Kitna, although his line is much better.

- How about the Chargers' O vs. the Raiders' D? I'm thinking if Ronnie Brown can run over the Raiders, than LT/Turner can as well. Also, Rivers looks to have recovered a little bit against Denver last week.

So my take - I'm not sold on either of these QB's yet, but I think C-Pepp will have to pass on a now-hungry Chargers team that piles on the points early. This could lead to yards and TDs, or sacks and INTs. I'm betting the former. The Raiders' line is much improved, and Merriman et al have not been able to generate a consistent pass rush. Plus the secondary is weak, much weaker than that of the Packers. Meanwhile, I see a close, grind-it-out kind of game from the Skins-Packers match up. I think Campbell's ceiling is 200 yds with a TD, whereas C-Pepp could get close to 300 with 2 TDs and some rush yards. So I go for the homerun with C-Pepp.
