Title: Schaub or Rodgers
Post by lumber2121 on Dec 19^th, 2008, 1:25pm

I am in the championship game and I have to pick between Schaub at Oakland or Rodgers at Chicago.

While Chicago has not been great against the pass this year, they have tightened it up in the past several weeks.

Oakland did give up four TD passes last week, but they only gave up around 200 passing yards. this is right around their season average.

I have Andre Johnson so the higher risk and higher reward move is to go with Schaub. If the Texans have a big day in the air I will be in great shape. The alternative is that Oakland's passing defense steps it up and I am stuck at QB and WR.

I am leaning toward the safer bet of Rodgers, but the potential for bad weather in Chicago is a potential issue.

Thoughts?

That's a crap http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/YaBBImages/game.gifhttp://www.fantasyfootballer.com/YaBBImages/game.gif shoot as you've outlined. My gut tells me to with an upswinging Schaub and Houston team against a downswinging Oakland team (in likely decent weather) instead of a downswinging Rodgers and Green Bay team against an upswinging Chicago team in (potentially freezing [smiley=cold.gif] nighttime, terrible weather [smiley=snowjob.gif] in) Chicago.

I'm all over Schaub here! I like what has been transpiring down here in Houston. Go with the hot hand!!
