[Buckna]

I'm sorry guys. Dropped Moats in a dynasty for Bye week defense. Of course this is what happens.

 

[Eviloutsider]

Moats in to start the half.

 

[TheFanatic]

I really need Slaton to have one of those Tiki Barber come to Jesus moment and figure out how to hold onto the dam ball...

 

[timschochet]

So that's it? One fumble and Slaton is benched for the rest of the game? How frustrating is that?

It doesn't matter, he's benched.

Maybe not today, but eventually he will get back on the field and will need to hold onto the ball...

one fumble? he's fumbled nearly every single game this season.

I know. I'm just pissed. In PPR he could be a top 5 guy if he JUST HELD ONTO THE DAMN BALL!!!!!

Slaton couldn't hold onto the ball much in college either, so him having problems in the NFL isn't shocking...

Who knows? Moats is doing well. We may not see Slaton for a few games. Perhaps his touches will be severely restricted so as to make him fantasy useless (like he's been today.) No way to read what Kubiak is thinking.

 

[towney]

About time AJ gets the ball...Now the Texans are moving it. AJ is clearly a difference maker.

 

[Whiplash Inc.]

Is Ellison not playing?

 

[Eviloutsider]

Moats TD!

 

[jurrassic]

It is not possible for me to be more p$$$$$ off about the Slaton benching. Another bad way to lose a fantasy game.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Moats looks better than Slaton. If you have Slaton you better pick Moats up as fast as you can if available.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Moats looking incredible...very quick to the hole

 

[Walton Goggins]

AJ 2 pt conversion

 

[towney]

I wonder if Moats is going to be the starter going forward? At least he'll be the hot WW pickup.

 

[Walton Goggins]

I would start Moats and leave Slaton on the bench. Just can't risk another fumble with the lead now.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Is Ellison not playing?

he left the game with an injury

 

[jurrassic]

Buffalo is 32nd against the run. Everyone looks good against them.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Moats just ran up the middle and was down at 1 yard line...explosive!

 

[jonboltz]

Moats killing Schaub owners today.

 

[Walton Goggins]

TD Moats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[todisco1]

wonder who the hot waiver wire pickup will be this week...

 

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

Moats killing Schaub owners today.

No kidding. At least when Slaton is in, most of his damage is receiving. But either way if Moats plays well it helps out the passing game.

 

[Walton Goggins]

I hope the Texans keep running Moats

 

[timschochet]

Yikes, the Bills are awful.

 

[Walton Goggins]

GREAT run by Moats. What a pleasant surprise.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Yikes, the Bills are awful.

lol. 1st time watching them?

 

[Buckna]

Couldn't pick a worse game to bench Slaton for fantasy purposes. I think I could rush for 100 yards against the Bills

 

[Walton Goggins]

Moats down to 3 yrd line

 

[Walton Goggins]

Texans have to thank Bills for trying a fake punt back at their own 30 only down 7 at the time.

MOATS 3rd TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Walton Goggins]

Can't risk Slaton out there going forward and Moats looks great. Very quick and has some power. Hope they stick with Moats.

 

[Buckna]

Moats had 4 CAREER touchdowns before today. Insane

 

[Steve Tasker]

Left with 10 minutes left in the game...made it home before the Vikes/Packers kickoff

 

[Steve Tasker]

Cushing with a sack. Sack, FF, INT, Safety on the year. Said he was the only defender in league with those stats. If he doesn't win DROY it will be a crime.

I was really excited to see the DROY matchup between Byrd and Cushing today....it didn't disappoint, both looked very good.

both looked really good today. Cushing added an INT near the end of the game.

It's too bad Byrd wasn't able to start from Game 1 this year. Unbelievable that he already leads the league in INTs.

Not true. One season he played with a broken bone in his hand.

 

[JAA]

Huge Slaton PPR fan here ...

Moats is going to be expensive this week. No reason he isnt going to be catching a lot of passes with Super Steve on the bench. No one is that bad of a fumbler, it has to be in his head. Not sure what the rest of the season holds, but he isnt dependable at the moment.
