Branch or Horn?

Horn is going against the Bears and Branch is up against the Colts.  Both players are at home.  Thoughts?

Hey lumber, I like Horn here! Both are tough matchups but I think Horn should see more balls than Branch will as Brady seems to spread it out more.

Horn by a nose...  I really don't like either option.  I'm actually benching Horn this week in JYJ's "web site owners" league in favor of Ward, J. Smith and Bryant.  Good luck, though! I do think you need it,... with respect to this at least.

Steg, you raise an interesting point.  Should I start Bryant against Tennessee instead of Horn?

I would play Branch over Horn this week.  And I'd play either one over Bryant this week.  Bryant plays a bad secondary, but Branch & Horn are your studs for a reason.  You play your studs.  
 
I just think Branch is a little surer to score, especially in a game both teams are gunning for.  This is ONE BIG GAME.  Things should happen in it!

It is time for the weekly installment of who to start: Branch or Horn?
 
Horn is going against a very poor New England pass defense, but his quarterback is a bit inconsistent.  
 
Branch is going against the mediocre Saints pass defense.  While Brady likes to spread the ball around, Dillon is out and Pass is questionable.  Also, Brady has very consistently targeted Branch.  
 
What do you think?  I was leaning towards Branch all week, but I am second guessing this decision.  The weak pass defense of the Patriots is awfully tempting.

I would start Horn without a doubt.  The defensive secondary for NE is terrible and I expect NO to get behind quickly and have to throw frequently.

It was a toss up.  Horn had a strong day.  
 
From this point on, I think that just about any receiver or quarterback starting against the Patriots should be a fantasy starter.  The Patriots secondary is brutally bad.
