Trent Edwards

[crusse10]

OK Bills fans. I could use a little help for my fantasy team...

In my draft, I picked up Edwards in a late round, just as a backup to Aaron Rodgers. My question for you is this. Should I ever start him (other than Rodgers having an off week)?

I originally took him for the sole reason that T.O. is in Buffalo. Lo and behold, he's done well despite T.O. being T.O. Will he ever be a legit #1 this season, or do you all consider him to be a fantasy risk?

Re: Trent Edwards

If there is ever a time to start him it's this week.

Re: Trent Edwards

I think so too, but I mean the Packers have the Rams this week. I just can't make the call.
You know the feeling when you have a guy on your team who's also on your NFL team? You just hate having to sit your guy, especially when he's got a feast in front of him (leg of ram, so to speak).
I know he'll put up numbers, I just can't decide who puts up more. The Eagles couldn't do it to the Saints, and that scares me about Edwards' chances.

Re: Trent Edwards

Gotta go with anyone playing the rams. Start Rodgers.

I have Hasselbeck (hurt) and Palmer (vs pit), so I picked up Trent and going to give him the start this week.

Re: Trent Edwards

Start Rodgers.

Re: Trent Edwards

Yeah, I'd go with Rodgers. At this point, I'd wait and see if Edwards can consistently produce the numbers before starting him.

Trent Edwards is rated #4 out of all the QB's in fantasy.

So yes, start him.. especially against bad pass defenses like NO.

I started him last week over Peyton Manning and it worked out beautifully!

He was available? Are you playing with a bunch of newbies? Trent has been killin it these past two weeks!

Re: Trent Edwards

Edwards vs. Saints and Rodgers vs. Rams .... who do you think is going to throw more? Garbage time is great for fantasy.

Re: Trent Edwards

Also depends...can you play a flex player? The one league I'm in allows any flex player. If I were you in that situation, I'd play both...but I'm guessing you can't.

Re: Trent Edwards

Buffalo players are fantasy poison. Don't do it.

I was confused by that. But maybe by saying "last week" he meant Week 1?

Peyton had 2.2 more points than Trent did. In choosing Peyton or Trent, who would have went with Trent? So yes, it worked out beautifully as I didn't kick myself in the ass later on.
