Depends for who? I am hoping Brock gets thrown back in starting next week.Im debating dropping this guy.
Cant see myself starting a WR in the playoffs in a situation where 18 targets over 2 games results in 45 yards.

He isn't even active. He is 3rd string now.Depends for who? I am hoping Brock gets thrown back in starting next week.
Isn't Lynch dealing with a HAS?He isn't even active. He is 3rd string now.
If he goes like 3/17/0 on 10 targets I'm sorry.You’ve convinced me gb

Meh, it’s only moneyIf he goes like 3/17/0 on 10 targets I'm sorry.
Never post over here in these, but it's funny I was just looking for some ideas on him.Whose starting him tonight @ IND?
IND's secondary has been decimated by injuries. Their top three CBs will not be playing tonight (Melvin hand, Hairston concussion, Desir IR). I believe they're relying on two rookies (Wilson and Moore) and someone named Chris Milton.
Wilson has shown promise (2nd round rookie), he did a good job on Benjamin last week in his 2nd start. And DT will likely find himself in his coverage roughly 50% of the time but the fact remains this is an extremely inexperienced and ultimately exploitable secondary.
I also do like to look at past data..
Vs. IND in week 5 of last year, with Siemian under center, DT was targeted 7 times and put up a 5/90/0 line.
DT has averaged a 4/62.6/.2 line in 5 games vs. IND
DT has averaged a 5.1/78.8/.25 line in 8 games on Thursday night.
DT has averaged a 7.2/100.8/1 line in 5 games in a dome.
That dome stat is interesting, how has he only played 5 games in a dome with 114 career starts?
I still hate Siemian because he's liable to implode in any given week but there's a lot to like about DT's match-up this week. He's getting guaranteed targets (has had less than 8 targets only twice this year) and has a plus match-up.
I don't think there will be a blizzard in the dome tonighthe did a good job on Benjamin last week in his 2nd start.
Yeah even IND homers aren't putting too much stock into his performance vs. Benjamin in the snow. Benjmain did do most of his work vs. Moore though who looks to truly be terrible.I don't think there will be a blizzard in the dome tonight
The targets for Thomas are awesome but he had 8 targets 5 receptions and 18 yards against OAK (how is that even possible), then followed that up with 10 targets, 2 receptions for 27 yards against MIA (20% of the targets turned into receptions ).
But I'm starting him tonight. The Colts have the 2nd fewest sacks in the league this year meaning (at least theoretically) Siemian shouldn't be under constant pressure tonight allowing him to function at his best - at least that's what I'm telling myself.
Pride? Been married too long to remember what that is. Debating funchess vs thomas leaning funchies way. Simien is probably the deciding factorAnd pride
Interesting. Curious to see how it works out.Bench with Crabtree, Westbrook, & Kupp. Starting Allen & Goodwin.
I mean, he didn't score. He didn't have a terrible game. Had a ton of targets, Brock makes two big plays and he basically sits the 4th quarter. I guess you can complain about the outcome, but the process was reasonable.Fool me twice, shame on me.
I never learn with the Broncos offense.
Sure but the problem was that last night's game was a complete tease. Solid first half and looking forward to even more in the second half only to disappear.I mean, he didn't score.

I have zero trust in Thomas. I think the Garoppolo to Goodwin connection is solid and no reason why it won’t continue throughout the fantasy playoffs. Crabtree w/out Cooper & Westbrook are still in consideration.Interesting. Curious to see how it works out.
Tentatively calling it a win over DT's modest outing.

Exactly. Figured 100 yards was a given with his halftime stats. Did he even have a target the 2nd half? Was at a Christmas party so didn't watch the game.Cenobite said:Sure but the problem was that last night's game was a complete tease.

In a championship game, start 3 wr, can flex 2 more if you want, i am starting Alshon, Dez, Cupp, Juju and leaving DT on the benchNed Ryerson said:Is there any way he can be started if Lynch is playing QB? Obviously it depends on your options, but is he a top 30 player with Lynch?
My choice is DT vs the Jax WRsIn a championship game, start 3 wr, can flex 2 more if you want, i am starting Alshon, Dez, Cupp, Juju and leaving DT on the bench
As someone said above, DT would be a floor play, and I agree. Would depend on the situation youre in and other starters. If you need upside I wouldnt go with DT necessarily.My choice is DT vs the Jax WRs
In a 12 team start 3 WR, I lost Antonio Brown, and DT moves up from my 4th WR to my starting lineup (joining Fitz and Michael Thomas). My choice is DT and the waiver wire, and it is a tough call. There's crap available on the WW.My choice is DT vs the Jax WRs
Yeah, that's exactly my situation. Had been playing Brown, AJG and M. Jones, with 4th and 5th being DT and E. Sanders. If Sanders doesn't play with aggravated ankle injury I wonder if that raises DT's floor. My matchup is basically a toss up.In a 12 team start 3 WR, I lost Antonio Brown, and DT moves up from my 4th WR to my starting lineup (joining Fitz and Michael Thomas).

The Broncos have exercised Demaryius Thomas' $4 million option bonus.
It locks Thomas into $12.5 million between salary and bonuses in 2018. Now on the wrong side of 30, Thomas is coming off his first sub-1,000 yard season since 2011 (Tebow Time). The Broncos seem to be assuming the down year was quarterback related, which is a safe assumption. Case Keenum is hardly a star, but he's a major upgrade on what the Broncos had in 2017, and improves Thomas' fantasy prospects.

Keenum made diggs n thelien weekly plays last year with a good run game and solid def.....i,dont see why he cant make dthomas playableHow has DT looked on the field all year? Are stud-type numbers possible again if one of the better FA QBs goes to Denver?
Agreed... I dont see any reason for Keenum on holding back DT (as well as Sanders and any Broncos receivers). He struck me as competent QB who took advantage of Vikings' offensive players.Keenum made diggs n thelien weekly plays last year with a good run game and solid def.....i,dont see why he cant make dthomas playable
Pat Shurmer had something to do with that. I'm not sure how to project a Musgrave/Keenum offense.Keenum made diggs n thelien weekly plays last year with a good run game and solid def.....i,dont see why he cant make dthomas playable
Demaryius Thomas is lining up everywhere at camp, including the slot.
Only 17.9% of Thomas' routes last season came from the slot. Bennie Fowler, Cody Latimer, Emmanuel Sanders, Isaiah McKenzie, and Jordan Taylor all received more opportunity in the middle of the field than Thomas, which should change in 2018. The Broncos would be wise to move him around the field much like Julio Jones, who averaged 23.7% of his routes from the slot last year.

He's old.
You should see some of the offers I'm getting for him.
30. Good grief. Take him out to pasture. Where does he hide his cane and dentures on gameday?
It is almost as if Paxton Lynch, Brock Osweiler, and Trevor Semian aren't as good as Peyton Manning.put him out to pasture..
old looking 30 yr old who has seen his yards/rec drop each year he's been in the league, his yards/gm have dropped in each season since 2014.his catch rate has dropped each year since 2012 ( except 2016 where it popped up a bit),his rec/gm have dropped in each year since 2014..his targets have dropped in each year since 2014, and his receptions/yr have dropped in each year since 2014.... perhaps the MOST telling stats are the TD #'s which have fallen off the map down from double digits to 6,5,5 in each of the past 3 seasons..whats worse is his longest TD has dropped from a high of 86 yards in 2014 to just 40 last season. he's clearly slowing down and the numbers show it. last season he failed to reach 1000 yards receiving for the first time in his NFL career and that trend is likely to continue..
he hit a high mark in 2014 and has not been the same player since..
not a lot to see here..
Seriously, lol. Did you forget his QB’s? I’m all over him this year.It is almost as if Paxton Lynch, Brock Osweiler, and Trevor Semian aren't as good as Peyton Manning.
