Wilson, Mariota, or Bortles? WHIR!!! (1 Viewer)

Having a tough time deciding.

Russell Wilson, who may still have a gimpy ankle vs the 49ers who gave up big numbers to Cam last week?

Marcus Mariota, who doesn't have may weapons around him(& Delanie is probably out) vs a Raiders' pass D who couldn't cover me?

Blake Bortles, who is facing a tough Ravens' pass D, but he and AR15 have to get going eventually, right?

Please explain your choice!

Thanks for answering mine.

Tough decision as I see all of these QBs having similar statistical days.

I rule out Bortles if only for the matchup - BAL is the number 1 D against the pass in terms of yards, and their secondary plays stout.

Seattle will turn their offense around, and they normally play the 49ers tough. While the 9ers looked really vulnerable last week, Hawks may have Baldwin hobbled. They have other quality targets to pass to, but it's Baldwin who helps open up the passing game more than any other receiver.

Finally Mariota against an historically bad Raiders D. I think the Raiders turn it around, and Norton will be sure to fire up his squad of only to save his job. But the kind of bad the Raiders are isn't fixed in one week on the road.

I'd go Mariota with the best matchup of the three.

I'd also go with Mariota here. When you have good alternatives, I don't like starting a player that's going into the game with an injury since there's a higher risk of him leaving the game at some point. If he was 100% healthy, I'd probably go with Wilson but he's not and I like Mariota's matchup better than Bortles'. Good luck!

Wilson isn't fully healthy. Tough decision between Bortles and Mariota, but I would go Mariota playing against a horrible OAK pass defense. 

Wilson at home has to get going eventually.  I would go wilson

Mariota against an awful Raiders pass D. 

If Walker is out or limited, I would not go with Mariota regardless of the opponent.  Tajae Sharpe would be his only option at that point.  Raiders D has been burned on play action, and should eventually get the discipline right.

I think the biggest concern for Wilson wasn't him as much as his receivers, and Baldwin and Lockett should both be a go.  With their bad O line the Seahawks may still have trouble running, hence a need to pass.

I'd rank them 1. WIlson 2. Bortles 3. Mariota

I'd also think a lot about the wisdom of carrying 3 QBs, but of course it depends on what else is on your waiver wire.

Bortles has a tough matchup, and until Wilson shows he's back on track, I'd have to go with Mariota.

12-team dynasty league, and I'm pretty loaded at all positions.

Think this week Wilson turns it around.

Mariota has not excited me and most of his damage was in comeback mode.

BOrtles has alos not looked great.

Why do you have so many QBs?

I'd start Wilson. He's gonna blow up one of these weeks, San Fran is as good of a match up as any.
