Because the slates are all over the place this week rather than look at games individually I will review by position this week.
QBs
Cash- If you are going to pay up at QB this week in cash I only see 5 real options
Brees- I’d rank him #1, at home in a dome and all of his weapons are healthy.
Brady- NE is almost a 17 point favorite in this game. I really worry about this game scripting out to the Blount show or even worse a Garoppolo show late if the game gets out of hand.
Ryan- I would put him at #2A, the only concern I have with him is the weather in Carolina. Getting JJ back and having both Freeman and Coleman there and the emergence of Gabriel means he has a ton of weapons.
Luck- I put him at #2B, should be good weather in LA, if Moncreif is back then I like Luck even more against a suspect Oak pass Def.
Carr- At home against a bad Indy pass defense. What makes this game likeable is that both teams are fighting to win a playoff spot so this should bring out the best in them.
RBs
McCoy- The Dolphins aren’t terrible against the run and I don’t like Gillespie stealing GL carries but this is still a good match up.
Blount- I see him getting 25+ touches in this game and I believe this Jets team is about to give up. If the weather is cold and or windy then I give Blount another bump up.
Freeman- I still worry about Coleman stealing touches but this is too good a matchup to pass on.
J. Stewart- I loved the way he ran the ball the other night and ATL can be run on. This is a interdivisional game so Carolina would like nothing more than to hurt ATl’s playoff chances.
Gordon- If he returns he has a great match up against Clev
LMurray- Indy has been susceptible to the run all year.
Gurley- Yea I said it! I know he is somewhat limited due to his limited role in the passing game but this is SF and they give up a ton on the ground
DMartin- If this stays close and doesn’t turn into a shootout I like Martin in this situation. TB looks to control the TOP keeping Brees off the field, it’s a fast track indoors so no weather concerns.
LBell-Not sure how I feel about this match up, I know I will use him in some GPPs but I may fade him cash wise.
Elliot- He will get a ton of touches and his ownership is sure to be 50% +
WRs/TEs/K and Def to come later
