Dez or Rishard? (1 Viewer)

[Country Boy]

I'm thinking of benching Dez for Rishard Mathews this week.  I never bench my studs bu don't like the Dez vs. Josh Norman match up.  Mathews has a favorable matchup vs. the Bears.  Am I crazy?

I'd stay with Dez.  He will move around and word here in DC is Norman will stay on left.  Norman is good but he is beatable (see AJ, OBJ) and Dez is playing lights out right now.  The game should be a very high scoring game with both teams scoring lots fantasy points.

Good to hear.  I'm in Dallas and speculation is that they will move Norman and plan man on Dez, roll safety down in box and invite Cowboys to let others make plays.  I am excited about this game, first time the Cowboys and Redskins Thanksgiving game will been anything in years.

The thing with Dallas is safeties can't stay too back in WRs as they are needed to stop Zeke.  Norman is also prone to play action and double moves.  I don't think Dez goes off but think 6-80-TD is reasonable floor with much bigger ceiling if he gets lose for a long one via a double move off play action.  Should def be a great game.  Skins looking well this year but Dallas playing lights out so uphill battle to make playoffs.

Thanks for the reply.  Happy Thanksgiving!

I don't expect a ton of points from the Titans, while the Cowboys-Redskins could be a high scoring game.  I'd take Dez without a second thought.
