Poll question: Fantasy football players: Brady or McNabb in Week 15?
I May have gotten laid off, but I'm still in my office league and would be lying if I said I didn't need the cash. A win this week puts me in the final and ensures me at least some winnings, but I'm playing the top team in the league in both record and scoring. A loss sends me home with squat.

What would you do this week, and why?

BRADY

PROS: Always plays well in regular-season games the team needs, Welker's on fire, Moss likely to have a big game to shut up his detractors after he mailed in a game last week, Patriots need the game.

CONS: A bit banged up, possibly not going to throw a lot because the Bills can't stop the run and every fantasy pundit is screaming about how Maroney is going to have a huge game this week.

McNABB

PROS: On fire as of late, playing the #27 pass defense in the league.

CONS: Steps out for Vick in the red zone.

OTHER INTANGIBLES: Neither my opponent nor I have any Patriots or Eagles RBs. My opponent has Wes Welker, so I could get some points canceled out if I play Brady. On the other hand, I'm a bit scared to sit Brady for obvious reasons (you all know the rule: "never sit a stud"), and he does spread the ball out a lot.

Guys, I'm stuck. Help?

1. Brady
Maroney has been playing well, but the Patriots are still an aerial show. Remember, even the "running" game includes a lot of screen tosses to Kevin Faulk, who can get some nifty YAC numbers for Brady.

I tend to agree with the Never Sit A Stud rule. The one week you do, he has a monster game.
