in the same boat and going back and forth between the 2.
looking at the last 5 weeks the bills have played, they have give up 158, 175, 127, 125 and 92 yards rushing.
thinking the browns and bills will be a close game with the bills having to account for Gordon.
looking how fast jax could be out of a game and turnovers killing drives may set denard back towards the colts side of scoring to some degree.
I hate fantasy football......
First six games the Bills gave up a league best 2.79 yards per rush. Last five games they've yielded a league worst 5.2 YPC.What I have a hard time understanding is why. It's the same four guys up front, three of whom were pro bowlers a year ago.
MIN, NYJ, KCC, MIA, NYJ - that's four games versus teams committed to running the ball because they have garbage at QB or a conservative philosophy. CLE fits that profile for the most part.
Don't agree, at all, that the JAX will be out of this one early. The Jaguars have a better defense than most realize, 33 sacks on the year. When Eli feels hear he is below average and susceptible to TOs. They're a bad team - six straight losses, and missing several starters. McCain and Rolle do come back this week.
The Audible had a good segment this week on the context should play in our decision making. I think the Crowe v. Shoelace is a classic case study, and I face this dilemma in two leagues.
In one league I'm on the outside looking in but should make the playoffs by winning the next two weeks. I frankly don't have as much talent on my roster. I'm starting Crowell because with the proper usage I could see him busting out for 20-30 non-PPR points. He might also fumble early and get 5 points or less. Doesn't matter, I probably need a HR anyway.
In another league I'm the points leader, favored this week and off to a good start after Thanksgiving. I've got Gordon and four other guys who have put up 30+ in PPR. I feel like the usage and trust factors, Shoelace has floor of 12-14, higher if gets a TD. But a 4 point effort (Crowell's floor) lets my opponent off the hook.
Same two players in both leagues, but in the context of the matchup, different choice,
