Top Pass Defenses - Start/Sit

A very interesting week for a few of the top QBs this season. Drew Brees faces the Jets in a game I expect to be the coming out party for the winner. Joe Flacco faces a much improved Patriots pass defense, and Aaron Rodgers goes into Minnesota for a Brett Favre reunion game on MNF.

More interesting will be the Denver Broncos' 2nd ranked passing defense. Combined with the team's 7th ranked rush defense, QB Tony Romo and RB Tashard Choice/Marion Barber look like sits.

Denver has played Cincy (better than anticipated), Cleveland (ick) and Oakland (blech). Wouldn't put too much stock in their numbers yet. They've got a very tough schedule the rest of the way.

Agree, jamie. If Denver stops the Dallas ground game, I'll believe. If that is combined with an ineffective game from Romo, then the Broncos are for real.

I'm not sitting any Cowboy's despite the numbers though.
