Eli or Teddy In Week 1?

Most fantasy sites have Eli ranked way above Teddy for wee 1, but I'm thinking go with Bridgewater because the 49ers lost both starting corners this offseason, and Eli hasn't been impressing me this preseason, not to mention that the Cowboys' pass rush could give him problems.

I also think Charles Johnson is a stud, so Teddy will have a field day with him and the new corners.

Plus, passing TDs are only 4, whereas rushing TDs are 6, and Teddy is more likely to get in than Eli.

Advice?  Is Teddy the pick here?

I understand your thinking, and most of the time I would say Teddy, but Dallas has Hardy out on suspension, their best DB (Scandrick and that's not saying much) is on IR, so their defense is really limping, and no one on it can stop/slow down Odell Beckham Jr. Manning is a Cowboy killer. In their last 4 meetings, Eli has averaged over 300 yards and tossed 12 tds (3 td avg). Over his career (10 years) he has tossed 22 tds against Dallas at Dallas for a 2.2 td average.

With Teddy, you have AP, and once they get ahead (which they should be able to), it will be almost all AP with a little Teddy sprinkled in to keep SF Defense honest to give AP more running room.

So everything is pointing to Eli having the better week this week.
