Week 2 Rankings: QB | RB | WR | TE
Keep for the season QB Locker or Griffin ?
Steve,
Though I would certainly consider making the move to Locker for this week, I am still banking on some solid numbers from RGIII this season. Griffin is certainly not a reliable play at this point, but given that he put up top-10 caliber numbers last year when healthy, even in a down season, you simply cannot bail on that upside after only one week. Try and find some room to spot-start Locker this week if you can, but keep Griffin around as well.
Of these 4 QBs who would suggest having as your two QBs. Kaepernick, Rivers, Locker or Dalton. Standard ESPN league.
This week, Kaep and Locker.
Rest of Season, Kaep and Dalton.
