Thread: Serious Objectivity Needed: Greg Jennings or Sidney Rice?

If you're going to answer, defend your answer.

Right now I'm starting Jennings (), and I'm thinking about the fact that I will want one of my FF WR starters to fail miserably (especially since I'm also starting the Vikes' D/ST). Obviously the Vikings winning is far more important than winning this week in the fantasy league, but right now the guy I'm up against and my team are damn close. Aaugh!

Someone please convince me that I'm doing the right/wrong thing.

I had to make the same choice. I chose Rice only because of my like of the vikings and the hope that TJ can turn it around this year.I hope I amright.

I'm gonna be totally honest, I think you should start Jennings. He was awesome last year and still looked awesome in preseason from what I saw. Sidney Rice has potential to be awesome too, but right now Jennings is muuuuch safer.

Jennings is established, but Rice has more potiental

Im not sure either will put up good number monday night.First of all there are 2 good defenses playing , second packers play a lot of man coverage and yards could be tought,thirsdly rodgers is starting his first ever game so i dont think he will put up favre likie numbers.Its a tought call i woul go with rice thought just cuz im a viking fan

Easy decision...Jennings.
Sorry, but, Vikes will stop the run and force AD and Chet.
Rodgers will be running for his life, but, Jennings is a quality player and a legit #2 FFL WR.
I love Sidney, but, not on the road vs. Jennings at home.


That said, it IS possible that Rodgers will be sucking his thumb in the fetal position by the end of the 1st Half
;D.
Good Lord, I HATE THE PACKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would stick with Jennings.
Rogers is unknown really, but I think he will put up about 3000 yards, and stick with his go-to guys, which are driver and jennings.
I bet Jennings will put up anywhere from 800-1100 yards and about 6 to 9 tds this season

Rice likely won't do the same, since a) TJ is throwing to him b) has wade and Berrian and Allison around him and c) best rushing game in the nfl, emphasis will be on running.

Jennings easily

I honestly think Rice is a better option for Monday.


I have not seen Rodgers do enough in the preseason to convince me that he has what it takes to deal with the pressure our defense is going to bring.
On the other hand, TJack looked very smooth, and he and Rice seem to have developed some chemistry this offseason.
The main reason I think Rice is a better play is because I believe the Vikings will have more redzone opportunities than the Packers.
This is where Rice thrives, so I see Rice as the better option for this matchup.

i would
start rice.
green bay o line is down 2 players due to injury.
There center
is a rookie. Rodgers wont get a
lot of time throwing with
our defense front 4.
I see the
pack
doing more
running then they do passing in this game.
AD and taylor will open tjack passing game
