if only that rookie WR last year for them panned out huh?I read something similar last week and the TEs only had 3 catches so I'm skeptical.
If they can get the D tired or catching their breath, I'd think Holmes and Washington should be able to get open deep in the hurry up.
What about the snow? What are your expectations for that affecting each passing game?
From what I heard Pittsburgh is only expected to get about an inch, and most of that in the morning. I don't think it will be much of a factor. The field is going to wet and muddy though so the footing isn't going to be the greatest. The middle of Heinz field is really bad this time of year even on a dry day.
just for clarity 1-3" expected from this threadhttp://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index...howtopic=293406
As I said before, I think all of those guys are question marks. One or two of them may very well have a good game but which one is anyone's guess. I watched the weather forecast at lunch time and 1-3" is expected in counties north of the city. Pittsburgh and communities to the south are expected to get about 1" and the bulk of that in the morning.
Apparently you didn't watch the game 3 weeks ago. It was a great game.another bad boring game bye 2 bad boring teams
Could be but I think the Steelers stick to the run, even if it isn't working early. When they do throw I see them going with short and relatively safe passes unless they get behind.Don't forget, the Brown's offense accounted for a total of 6 points in the last game and that was with Frye in there. The Steelers will shut down the run and it will be up to Anderson to win the game. I don't know much about him but a guy making his first start on the road against one of the more complex defenses in the league is going to have his hands full. The blitz will be a big part of it but they are also going to try and confuse Anderson by showing different looks. I think if the Browns win it will be due to their special teams. Field position is going to be big in this game and they are much better than the Steeler's special teams.
No. But then again, I don't have either of them.
Polamalu being out doesn't entice you to start him?
Yeah, but how many of those games were home? I know that the infamous coin flip loss was at Detroit on Thanksgiving.Having witnessed first-hand how the short week combined with travel left my hometown Ravens unready to compete last Thursday, I'm really becoming a believer that the home team has a major advantage in Thursday games.
FWIW Ike Taylor was benched after that game. Bryant McFadden is now starting at CB. Edwards had a big day against the Steelers last game but here are his stats since the bye in Week 6:vs DEN: 2 rec, 6 yds, 0 TDsvs NYJ: 2 rec, 21 yds, 0 TD @SD: 7 rec, 66 yds, 1 TD@ATL: 3 rec, 31 yds, 1 TDPIT: 7 rec, 137 yds, 0 TDCIN: 2 rec, 29 yds, 0 TDsKC: 3 rec, 36 yds, 1 TDOther than the PIT and SD game, not real impressive. Now he has a virtual rookie QB throwing to him, on a short week, on the road, and in the cold and wind. He may turn out to have a good night but I think it is bold predicting a big game for him.nxmehta said:
Like I said earlier, this was when the complaining with Frye and being late for meetings BS started.
From a fantasy perspective, he's been very productive lately. He's scored 3 TDs in his last five games and in one of the other two he had a huge yardage total (which happened to come against this week's opponent). The other game (Cincinnati) is a game in which I'll bet anything he was being disciplined which explains why he didn't get a single target in the first half. I don't anticipate that happening again so while it hurts his production it may not be something we'll see again (at least hopefully).If you've been starting Edwards as a WR3 I think he's been rewarding you. I've had no issues with him in the last five games other than the Bengals game. Right now he's in my lineup because this is a game where I believe the Browns will have to throw a lot and he did very well against Pittsburgh in the first meeting and the Steelers have had all sorts of issues with No. 1 WRs. The only way he's coming out is if the weather becomes a major issue - and I'm more concerned about high gusty winds than snow. I plan on waiting right up until game time to see the weather report from the field. Last week's weather report did not come close to being accurate and the game was in no way impacted. If I start Edwards and he stinks, that will hurt but given how productive he's been for the past several games and given how productive he was in the first meeting between these two teams I can't see sitting him for an inferior option unless the weather forces my hand.Just my
Hey, just cause you were knocked out of your playoffs and have no incentive to watch this game don't be a scrooge to everyone elseanother bad boring game bye 2 bad boring teams
Any way you look at it, Edwards' weekly production has been quite volatile. I absolutely cannot afford to start a guy that has just as likely a chance of going 2/30 as 7/100. The downside risk is way too high for the first week of fantasy playoffs -- especially when you take into account the cold weather, high winds, QB making his first start, Pitt def. at home, etc. I'll note that Edwards has been in my lineup all season long as a flex (WR4), and I think the right move is to finally bench him for my first playoff game (T. Jones will likely be the replacement). Still a tough decision though.From a fantasy perspective, he's been very productive lately.
