I can;t find the thread, but I said I drafted Ben in our fantasy league for the first time in 10 years. I also said he'd probably get hurt since my team has nice long history of injured players.
And so it goes...
So with Matthew Stafford on my bench I need a back up QB when Ben goes on IR.
Here are the choices left in our league:
Which starting QB do you want to see get hurt next?
I, uh, I mean who would you pick?

You don't want to hear it, but Dalton is your man. I had to pick him up when Romo went down. I have Tannehill too, but wasn't liking the Buffalo matchup... Dalton killed it today. He is great Sundays @ 1:00 pm eastern. Between him and Stafford, you'll be fine. Your QB will be matchup dependent for the rest of the year. I hope Ben's not out for the year, because I have Antonio Brown in my league...

I have the same problem, Ben was my starter. I'm likely finishing under 50 points this week, but that's due to more than just the issues at the QB position.
I agree with Jason that Dalton is the play. He's going to be my pick-up the second I can grab him.

I only phrased it that way because I didn't think any Bengals fans would want Dalton getting hurt!
I'm gonna probably pick him up.

I finally had a decent week with my RB's and D and this happened. I was probably going to lose anyway. My opponent was tearing it up.

Both I and my opponent have/are projected to score under 55 points. We're like two drunks holding each other up. Bad fantasy year for me.

Half of us hope he will get hurt. Unfortunately he is a devil spawn... An immortal.

I have Ben too in my league. But I also have Andy as my back up so I'm not too worried. But should I drop Ben and pick up another back up now? I'm not even sure who is left out there to pick up?
Deceitful, two-faced she-woman. Never trust a female, Delmar, remember that one simple precept and your time with me will not have been ill spent.

I have Brees and he went down last week. Played Rivers last Sunday. Sticking with Brees since he'll be back shortly. As for Ben, he's probably done for the year. I like Dalton or Flacco. Dalton has more targets in Green, Eifert, and Jones though.
Who Dey!

I think Vick is still available.

I heard that he's out 4-6 weeks... Sprained MCL.

I dropped Ben and picked up David Carr.
My team sucks anyways. Might as well go for that #1 draft pick next year.

I am a fan of Tyrod Taylor, his legs give him another dimension that is interesting depending on the match up each week.

Not a chance.
Never cared for him as a QB...let alone at 35 with just a short time with the team.

Tyrod Taylor or Dalton, grab them both and play versus the matchups. Dalton will be a fantasy beast if he maintains, Tyrod will get you points with his legs each and every week, and he seems to be progressing nicely with the throws.
