  1. In the championship. Qb heavy keeper league (1 pt per completion) an owner who is out of the playoffs dropped matt schaub to pick up matthew stafford for next year. the waiver would process sunday morning. should i roll with jon kitna saturday, or wait it out and go with schaub on sunday. the only risk is that someone out of the playoff will pick up schaub (i have a better waiver rank than my opponent this week) if he would get picked up, then i would have to roll with a qb like grossman or garrard. My opponent has d. brees so it's gonna be important to get good production from my QB to have a shot at winning. Thanks for any help you can give me!

  2. Jason,

    While I like Schaub a lot this week, there is some risk with him that AJ either won't play or will play sparingly. If that happens, Schaub will be no better than average. You're probably better off rolling with the consistent, if unspectacular, Kitna, who has a great matchup as well.

    Good luck.
