Who to Start: Brandon Lloyd or Desean Jackson?

Go with Lloyd if Vick plays.

Jackson will want to bounce back after getting benched last week, but if Vick plays, he will struggle with the deep ball resulting in a lot of dump off passes and rushes. That really doesn't help in your case without PPR.

The Rams passing game is struggling, but based on the number of attempts Bradford still averages, they are dedicated to passing still. Lloyd will see plenty of targets being the most talented in the receiving corp, and should benefit from Bradford being able to throw deeper than Vick. Bradford is not without his own injuries, but an ankle shouldn't effect the deep ball nearly as much broken ribs.

My money is on Lloyd, but it will be pretty close if someone else starts for the Eagles.
 
Sources are saying that Vick will not be playing this weekend. I think you are safe on either one you choose, since the output will be about the same.
