Other people may tell you differently, but here is my opinion. I would never sit my studs. Trust me, I have tried this before and many times, just when I sit the stud is when they score a ton of points and it backfires right in my face. I had a chance to win a huge payout in one of my fantasy leagues when I was younger but the championship week I decided to start Irving Fryar instead of Carl Pickens. You can imagine what happened.

i'd say you're ok either way. in fact, I'd wonder who you're starting in front of both of these guys? deuce is good for a hundy + TD IMO, while Moore is probably just as likely to put up a hundy & a TD plus get you 30-60 receiving yards. NO is terrible vs. the run, so expect the Minny run game to be successful.

Check out the Viking team report for more analysis on the game:

Wow... this is getting scary, but I think I agree with captainpurple on nearly everything he's been saying. Both are good starts this week. I'm not a big fan of Deuce because he doesn't score enough for me. But if I had to choose between the two, I'd probably play it safe and go with Deuce, just in case Mike Tice decides that Moe is healthy enough to vulture a TD or two this weekend.
