Shaub on a bye week..

Im starting Smith..

I had Sanchez as a back up, but dropped him b.c of his HUGE inconsistency. Had Cassel, but dropped him in favor of Smith. Smith is averaging 17pts in 3 games this season, and I think he should have around 225yds 2td, maybe an INT and 15rush yds. That accounts for 20 fantasy points..

I have same situation with Schaub.

Here is my question... I have Kyle Orton as my backup and he plays at Washington this week. I can pick up Alex Smith to play this one week against Chicago. Who do you think is the better play.. Orton or Smith?

Washington has a good pass D, I think Smith will fair better against a poor Chicago D. Even if Smith throws his picks (lets hope he doesn't) I'm sure he will get at least 15-18 points. Redskins are ranked 1st against the pass giving up only 159 yards
