The Fantasy Football Freaks, KCTV5's Shaun Broyls and Kurt Kloeblen, received a number of questions from readers about their fantasy football team for week six in the NFL.
Here are some of the questions and responses: - Mattison from Lee's Summit asked which three players to start from Mario Manningham,Wes Welker, Marcus Colston, Steve Smith (NY Giants), Rashard Mendenhal.
Shaun: Welker for sure. Tennessee's inept. They aren't going to get any better against the Patriots, and with Moss really not doing much it's all been Welker. Manningham is money. This game is going to score 70-plus points between the two teams. Manningham as a speedster should get his this game. Should be a good one. And in the same vain, Colston. New Orleans can't help but score. Pierre Thomas will be healthy so the Giants will have to respect the run. Colston could get a score or maybe two.Kurt: I agree for the most part with Shaun. I say go for all the guys playing in the same game - Manningham, Smith and Colston. It's going to be a shootout and I like riding the scoring wave.
- Andrew from Buckner wanted to know who he should start at quarterback, Drew Brees or Ben Roethlisberger.
Shaun: You NEVER bench Brees, I don't care who he's playing. Brees is a monster and you start him until he's hurt. Unless he's playing the '85 Bears, START HIM.
Kurt: It's pretty safe to say never bench the guy who could break the NFL record for touchdown passes in a season. Ride Brees all season and enjoy your huge points almost every week.
- Brian from Kansas City wanted to know which defense to start, New Orleans on Cincinnati:
Shaun: Uh, that's your only choice? I say pick up a third D. The Giants are going to score a lot of points...so is Houston. It's a toss up. If you're strapped with bench players and can't drop anyone I guess you should start Bengals D. Schaub isn't Eli Manning and Houston is apt, at times, to be out of sync. But man, if you've got an extra roster spot, go with ANYONE else on defense.
Kurt: Cincinnati has been pretty opportunistic and has helped the Bengals get to 4-1. It's a pretty easy choice this week. The Bengals are going to get some turnovers.Kurt: It's pretty safe to say never bench the guy who could break the NFL record for touchdown passes in a season.
