If the Fins plan to pass often the game is over before it starts. The Giants line up (what I think is) 4 probowl caliber DEs on their DL at one time. If it's 3rd and 4 they stay with the normal DL if it's 3rd and long..look out. Opponents must run on first and maybe even second down, there's almost no choice that DL set is so great right now.Running also gets the super quick first step DEs to think twice about jumping so quick as they get worried about jumping off the line and putting themself right where the OL wants them and inadvertently openning up a running lane.
IIRC, somebody (FO.com?) did a study about this and found that the RB position is the one most affected by matchups. In other words, you should sit your stud with a bad matchup for another RB with a great matchup more often at RB than at QB or WR. But I don't think anyone has a hard and fast rule of when to do it.
Graham is going againsy Jax-their run D isn't soft? Why is Graham ranked so high?
Someone has fallen completely off hte planet ranking Graham that high, they must have forgot he faced the Lions last week.
I sold high on Graham this week for that reason - Detroit is giving up the 2nd most points to RBs in my league. I think expectations need to be tempered just a bit.I certainly wouldn't bench Brandon Jacobs for either Chatman or Graham. Chatman would have to show me that he won't get vultured at the goalline by Cobbs before I'd start considering him as a top 10 option on a given week.
Circumstance.
Wow
His circumstance vs. NE was that he only had 8 touches. What do you think his circumstance will be vs. NY in regards to touches?
Circumstance also had the Patriots up by 9 billion and not exactly pinning their ears back on defense.
He had 13 catches last week. Perhaps they expect more of the same in PPR.
Is Miami playing NE again this week?
You got a point Ignatius -cheatsheets are ludicrous
thats the point.do you really think the pats were trying all that hard to stop him by the time he came in?
I am really struggling with that decision too. Henry being injured and playing on Monday night is a big factor here since Henry may miss the game, or leave the game early with an injury like he did Sunday night. At this point in the season, it is not as if Henry has been lighting the world on fire. He only has 1 td, and as witnessed last week Shanny loves to throw from the one yard line making short td's even trickier. Henry is also playing a tough Packers D coming off a bye. I think the decision is a tough one considering Chatman did pretty well after Brown got injured (albeit against a Pats D that was not playing everybody at the time) and Brown has been productive this year (not saying Chatman is on the same level as Brown but there certainly is a chance for a Miami RB to put up some decent numbers). My one concern with Chatman is I would like to see him play through a full game once before I throw him into my lineup. You just never know if Cameron will platoon him with Booker and limit his carries (and therefore his numbers) this week. If Henry is healthy I will probably still go with him, but it's a real tough call.
Cudos ... but how does this relate to Chatman..
He had an OK game given the circumstances (bad team, bad weather)... had a run to put him over 90yards for the day called back , but hit double digit scoring in most leagues.
Strange ranking. Would be shocked if that came out right.
He didn't get the score, but totaled 100 yards of offense.
