More likely to start Warrick Dunn if you are starting Mike Vick? (1 Viewer)

If you were starting Michael Vick at QB, would you be more likely to start Warrick Dunn at RB?

I have 2 RBs that are real close, but based on everything that I look at, I kind of like one guy [who I won't mention because this is not a WDIS thread] a little bit more than Dunn to be my RB2 this week... But I'm wondering if I should go with Dunn anyway to kind of cancel out a possible bad game by Vick [if Vick doesn't get the TD, Dunn probably will?]??

Is this flawed logic?

Would you tend to be more or less likely to want to start Dunn the same week as Vick against a pretty tough defense.

FWIW, I view the Carolina defense as about a 9.8 against the rush and a 6.5 against the pass this year [on a scale of 1-10], but I also know that Vick struggled against them both games last year..

Not a bad thought...

I think the reverse would be a bit more motivating though.

I'm more worried about Vick putting up a lousy game.

It's really all speculation, though. Not unlike the pros/cons of starting QB/WR pairs.

Any chance you can start neither one of them? Carolina has a tough D and they have struggled against the Falcons in the past. However, the Panthers pummeled them late last year and no longer have that thought about Atlanta being tough to beat in the back of their minds.
