Let's get back to the week 17 discussion.
I saw in the other thread that Goff and Gurley are sitting. KC was in a position like this a few years ago and sat starters, but has there been any word yet if they will do that this year? Right now I have Gurley and Hunt crossed off my list and ??s next to Gordon (inj), Fournette (hasn't been great recently and I don't trust they keep the starters in all game), and Bell (price tag and chance they start resting in the 3rd IF the Pats are up big on the Jets).
What I have written down for solid plays:
D.Lewis (7.2) - must win game at home and Rex, White still injured and even Gilly shows up on the injured report.
Ingram/Kamara (8.4/8.8) - NO playing for seeding and they are at home. Trouble is deciding which one each week. I say Ingram this week b/c they should have trouble with TB.
A.Collins (6.8) - Baltimore is going to play and are at home too. Cinc has given up the most pts to RBs over the last 5 weeks.
M.Brown (4.5) - This unlocks being able to play just about anybody else you want. Rams have the 3rd best OLvsDL stats for the week, but are the Rams sitting any OL starters?
L.Murray (6.6) - another home team playing to win.
McCaffrey (6.9) - Burned the Falcons last time and Carolina has the most to play for as far as seeding goes.
Qs or gpp plays:
Zeke 8.7 and Bell 9.5 - possibility of not playing the whole games, but could get enough pts before that happens
Gordon (8.4) - says he will be ready, but can we trust that he will stay that way?
McCoy (8.2) - favored on the road vs. a bad D in a must win game, but has pretty big home/road splits over the last 2 years - 21 pts/g at home, only 12.6 away.
Henry (5.8), Drake (7.0), B.Oliver (4.5) - if we know ahead of time that Murray, D.Will, or Gordon will be out, they probably move to the tier up above.
CJ Anderson (6.9) - will the old guy play the whole game vs. the resting Chiefs? He has looked damn good the last few weeks.
Gallman (5.1) - I like this as a gpp play. Wash has been weak vs. RBs and I think I read they lost their best run stopper. In the last 3 weeks he has quietly seen 21, 15, and 18 touches and as been 1.9x+ all 3 weeks. Sees a lot of work in the pass game, so is in play even if we think Cousins might come out hot to try to make some more $ One of my low % gpp ideas was Cousins + Crowder or Doctson and running it back with Gallman.
Anybody I miss or anything that is wrong in my thinking above??
