Lions missing both slot ace tate and a solid tight end. He will be the guy even when marvin comes back.How do keepers feel about him, is he pretty much a lock to be there #1 in the near future?

Sounds like when I said;Damnit. Ok I guess he’s now a must start.
I think I know better than to listen to one game by now. He looks great for sure, but he's only a dominant guy when Stafford is doing well and the matchup is good.Yeah I'm never sitting him again.
Thursday is not a good matchup. In fact, it's about as bad as could be.Sounds like when I said;

Bears D is lockdown for 3 quarters. After that, they seem to be the ultimate garbage time stat producer for WRs. See Golladay himself two weeks ago and S. Diggs last night. Diggs had two weeks of production in the last half of a quarter.Thursday is not a good matchup. In fact, it's about as bad as could be.
I thought the exact same thing last Thanksgiving when Marvin Jones went up against Xavier Rhodes. That turned out just fine (6/102/2).Thursday is not a good matchup. In fact, it's about as bad as could be.
I'll be starting him but once again not be expecting much.I thought the exact same thing last Thanksgiving when Marvin Jones went up against Xavier Rhodes. That turned out just fine (6/102/2).
Like @Stompin' Tom Connors I will be choosing between Amari and Golladay again. It has been a losing game for me this season. I had to play both this weekend but thought Cooper was going to have a big game. Dallas is not going to throw the ball unless they must so I am probably going to go with Golladay.I'll be starting him but once again not be expecting much.
He probably sits....as does kerryonAny Lions homers want to take a swing on chances Marvin Jones suits up on Turkey Day?
Impact on KG? He's in my lineup right now. I figure he will see the lions-share of targets, and that's not a bad thing. Give the guy at least 10 targets, and I think he'll produce. But I may be overly optimistic.He probably sits....as does kerryon
Yeah i dont see how u sit himImpact on KG? He's in my lineup right now. I figure he will see the lions-share of targets, and that's not a bad thing. Give the guy at least 10 targets, and I think he'll produce. But I may be overly optimistic.
I see what you did there.Impact on KG? He's in my lineup right now. I figure he will see the lions-share of targets, and that's not a bad thing. Give the guy at least 10 targets, and I think he'll produce. But I may be overly optimistic.
I have all three in my lineup this week in one league. Fun!I have to make a choice
Ingram vs ATL
Kenny vs CHI
Josh Gordon vs NYJ
Not sure where I’m leaning yet tbh
Me too and I'm okay with it. Gonna stay that way unless there is amazing news regarding AJ Green.I have all three in my lineup this week in one league. Fun!
Yes indeedy. Pretty stout pass D match ups, but his stat line as the primary WR being keyed in on by the D this past week is encouraging.I don't like Golladay's playoff matchups at all with @Ari, @Buf, and Min..but as the only viable option at WR I will continue to start him.
He's on IR? Are you sure? This is the latest info I could find on him:Rhoads to IR w/ hammy definetly makes that week 16 matchup look a little better.
vikings are running out of corners
IMO it's not great news at all. The offense, Stafford and as by product Golladay is far more effective with Jones in the lineup. How hard is it going to be to stop the Lions the last 5 weeks (4 weeks for FF purposes)? Double and triple the only threat, let #9 try to beat you throwing to Bruce Ellington and Michael Roberts.Jones on IR is huge. 10+ targets a game is how he stays productive with this nasty WR playoff schedule.
For the record getting happy about a real person getting injured is probably the only thing I hate about fantasy football, but it is what it is and Golladays a locked in WR2 with upside now for me.
So I agree that Golladay may be more effective with Jones, given coverage thinning, and agree with the inverse notion that with Jones out, it makes Golladay easier to bracket/double (no secondary is truly fearful of Brandon Powell, Bruce Ellington, and the other Joneses, TJ and Andy).IMO it's not great news at all.

What we saw last week was Stafford attempting two passes which traveled more than 15 yards. If they continue to treat their rifle arm QB and his band of misfits like a Pop Warner team that can't possibly digest an NFL game plan, then no, I don't think they will have success.So I agree that Golladay may be more effective with Jones, given coverage thinning, and agree with the inverse notion that with Jones out, it makes Golladay easier to bracket/double (no secondary is truly fearful of Brandon Powell, Bruce Ellington, and the other Joneses, TJ and Andy).
But all that said -- we've just seen a game without Jones, and against one of the best Ds in terms of generating pass rush and pressuring the QB, with a functional secondary who are able to play shut down against lesser QBs (but still get torched by the likes of Rodgers, Brady, etc.).
The situation you describe was absolutely in play against a top tier D, and Golladay led the team in targets, and caught 5/90.
With the upcoming schedule being what it is (LAR, ARI, BUF, MIN), all Ds can play stout against the pass, but don't seem too different to me than what CHI brings to the table. Those are also two match ups where Stafford and Co. are going to potentially need to pass a lot to keep up.
So -- given what we just saw this past weekend, why would you think Golladay wouldn't be able to find similar success against these teams as he did against the Bears?
With respect, I think we're talking at cross purposes.What we saw last week was Stafford attempting two passes which traveled more than 15 yards. If they continue to treat their rifle arm QB and his band of misfits like a Pop Warner team that can't possibly digest an NFL game plan, then no, I don't think they will have success.
He got the targets but also received the full attention of the defense at the same time. You could tell. Lots of very contested catches and I actually felt lucky to get what we got. To be fair, he also was about 6 inches from getting a TD with a foot out of bounds due to a great pass defense.Doh. Was expecting more vs the Rams.
Thanks for the color around this. I didn't get to see any of the game or highlights.Futz said:He got the targets but also received the full attention of the defense at the same time. You could tell.

Unfortunately, I think you will end up seeing more of the same going forward. Stafford is not playing well but is forcing the ball to him almost to a fault. Hell, I would be too with the hot garbage alternatives.Thanks for the color around this. I didn't get to see any of the game or highlights.
Kenny Golladay - WR - Lions
Kenny Golladay (quad) was limited at Wednesday's practice.
Golladay looked healthy while playing 70-of-72 offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Rams. The Lions are likely just limiting his exposure coming off another big workload in Week 13. Golladay gets a tough draw against Cardinals All-Pro Patrick Peterson this week.

Diggs, Cooper, Landry. And can play Cohen over him at flex.Who else ya got??
Suttland, Fitzgerald and Pettis. Have to pick one...Who else ya got??
I’d start Golladay over White if I needed a higher ceiling (i.e. touchdowns). Arizona is better at limiting WR yards than they are at limiting WR TDs.I have him in 3 out of my 4 leagues. Starting Diggs over him in one league, Mixon over him in another, but in the 3rd I'm trying to decide between Golladay, White and maybe Zay Jones. My main issue with starting White over him is that I'm also starting Michel and don't want to put too many eggs in 1 NFL team's basket for a playoff game. Leaning towards starting Golladay in that league.
