But, for what it's worth, the Eagles d is 7th best in the league in giving up points (as in, they've given up the seventh fewest - even with getting lit up by Dallas a few weeks back), while Houston's is 30th, third from the worst. If the Skins win it, I think it's gonna be oogly. Even a weakened Manning is safer against Houton, against whom he's 12-1 all time.

Understandable about being uncertain, but the Eagles D will mess with Campbell. Go with safety :) Definitely Manning. Understandable about being uncertain, but the Eagles D will mess with Campbell.

You're nuts otherwise. Olson has looked good and I have picked him up because Rodgers probably will not start/play poorly due to his injury. Go Patriots. MANNING!!! You’re nuts otherwise.

Go Patriots.

Not <a href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/10310/saturday-night-live-bad-idea-jeans" rel="nofollow">"Normally I wear protection, but then I thought, when am I going to make it back to Haiti"</a> bad idea, but still a bad idea. Starting Campbell over Manning is understandable if the lineups are very favorable, but coming off a bye at 1-2 against the Texans, Manning's going to light it up. The only potential problem (from a fantasy standpoint) is that Addai might get too many TDs, but if Houston can keep the offense moving like last week, Peyton could pile up the points. Plus, Campbell is starting against the Iggles, and I wouldn't expect a Romo-like performance. I say bad idea.

Peyton Manning v. the Texans D seems the safer pick this week. (Er. . . I THINK that's who's playing who this week.) Frankly, hard to imagine a safer pick than Manning v. Texans. (Now I've officially jinxed him.) I can see wanting to start Campbell, but he’s taking on the Eagles’ D, which can be quite good. Peyton Manning v. the Texans D seems the safer pick this week.
