Start Drew Brees or Mahomes (1 Viewer)

I have a good problem, as  drafted Brees as my #1QB and Still got Mahommes.

This week I play a team with Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill.

Brees plays the Giants and if I play Mahomes he would be throwing to  Kelce and Hill.

I like Mahomes a little better but Brees is close also. Who should I start this week 

Thanks

 
Brees, If Mahomes has a good game you will still probably be outscored by Kelce and Hill, if he has a bad game then so should Kelce and Hill. Brees is the play if you want to win.

 
It would depend on the rest of your matchups. 

If you are favored to outscore the rest of your players vs your opponent then I play Mahomes as a way to cancel out his top guys and let the rest of your guys pick up the slack. 

If  your opponent is favored to outscore the rest of your players with their players then I play Brees and hope Mahomes stinks bringing down the other guys and have Brees make up the difference. 

 
I don't think your opponents players changes your play that much.  You want the most points in your line up.  Hill and Kelce score the same weather you play Mahomes or not.  

I think they are a coin flip.  I like Mahomes slightly more, but wouldn't fault you for liking Brees more.

 
Mahomes shouldn't be benched for anyone, for any reason. He's at a Peyton Manning in 2013 level right now, where matchups don't matter, who else you have doesn't matter. He's the guy.
