QB streamers for playoffs (1 Viewer)

I'm deciding between Foles or Keenum. Stuck. Fbg early rankings have them all over the place from qb2-12.

Thoughts?
Too funny same here ..I would lean Foles for upside but here's the thing ..Vikings game is before the Eagles game if they lose ,the Eagles will wrap up number 1 seed and may pull some of there starters late in the game . Now chances that the Vikings lose to the Packers that r out of it and without Rogers r slim..so Foles a little more risk

Why are people so reluctant to admit Keenum has become an every-week starter? At what point in the past seven weeks has he faltered and caused you to lose faith? What weapons has he lost that make you think he can't keep this up? And what about the GB matchup scares you, especially given what he did against strong pass Ds like LAR, Carolina and Cinci?

Game plan, outdoors, earlier game this year.  etc. He only scored 15 pts in my league against gb earlier in the year at home. We know he's playing much better but That performance won't for the most part win championships. I've been starting him and been happy. Foles is the big??

Look it's your team. I just think this reluctance re Keenum has more to do with his name than anything else. If, say, Mariota or Cousins or Rivers had done what he's done over the past seven weeks, no one would be questioning whether he was an every week starter. With Keenum, everyone just assumes he'll eventually turn back into a pumpkin.

Yep your right, good insight and much appreciated. Foles is the big unknown here that a bunch of people may be considering and with championship week just want to cover all bases.

Agreed but foles may offer more upside boom or bust and keenum is the safe choice ..safe doesn't always win the big dance 

 
Stuck between

Matt Ryan(7 pts last time he faced the saints and that was at home. 

Goff, Gurley seems unstoppable out there, will they even need him against a struggling titans team? Only had to throw for 120 yards last week against Seattle. Combined with 2 tds I got only 10 from him

Foles, leaning foles vs raiders who just torched the giants(who doesn’t, besides Alex Smith) especially if MIN beats the Rodgers-less packers. Could be high scoring. Maybe raiders show up a bit scoring wise. 

 
Thinking about Alex Smith over Rivers or Foles.

Leaning Smith at home vs CIN, but Rivers at Jets and Foles hosting Oak are both tempting. Vikings probably win with AR out, so Foles isn't as much of a gamble, but playing a Monday night QB limits options should he trip over his cat or something Monday morning.

 
Big Ben plugged in so far with Foles and Wilson as possibilities. Wilson ranked higher, but after last weeks puking from SEA and Zeke rushing tick, tick, tick not sure anymore?

It's your team, but I can't imagine sitting the overall QB1 in my championship.

 
Forced to stream QBs these last 2 weeks due to QB injuries. 

Faced with starting Flacco (wow, really?!) over Ryan and Cousins (neither of these two inspire confidence and at least Flacco has been trending up in the past few weeks). 

In another league, starting Foles over Cutler (yes, waiver wire was brutally thin at QB in this league)

Yeah I'm flacco or dak. Can't believe I am faced with this decision. Tyron smith looking like a GTD so very not comfortable with dak.  Wish I had foles as an option-wouldn't even be debating.  Definitely would get the start over cutler imo

 
Wilson was just dropped by a frustrated owner who is starting Brees. I gotta go Wilson over Big Ben, correct? I gotta...
Let me get this straight: an owner made it to the finals despite Wilson's stinker last week, dropped him in a fit of pique, his opponent (you) picked him up, and now he might have to face him in the championship? I think you gotta start him for the karma alone!

 
I'm starting Bortles over Foles because of the matchup. 
Have the same decision. I think the matchups are mostly a wash (maybe a slight edge to BB) but I'm starting Bortles because I believe in riding the hot hand. He's done it three weeks in a row, while Foles has only done it once against one of the worst Ds in the league.

That said, I'm starting Foles in a consolation game where Bortles wasn't  available and have no worries.

Well, not exactly... our league goes to week 17. This is like year 30 and we've always gone the entire season. We have to watch for players that will rest. This week is crucial however... Next week Wilson gets ARI at home. If SEA loses to DAL, and DAL is a 4-5 point fav, then I wonder about Wilson next week because loser of this game is definitely out.

The other key factor is we don't have bench players. We bid on Free Agents if they are available.

Sooo, the owner that had Wilson must have gotten frustrated and feel Brees is a better option. The rush game in NO has dominated lessening the value of Brees in my book. We start Kamara as well. 

EDIT: Half our payout goes to total points, the other half to W-L.
