Who should I start?

Roethlisberger vs Bengals
Newton vs Cowboys

Big Ben is projected to get 18 while Newton is projected to get 19.

I'm leaning towards Newton because even if he has a poor throwing game he can always get points with his legs, but who i'm facing has Steve Smith.

Thoughts?

Newton coming off the bye, IMO.

The fact that you're playing a guy with Smith can be a benefit. You will counter all of his points. If it is PPR, however, that could help you.

I like the Newton v. Cowboys matchup, however, and am starting him this week in one of my leagues.
