Is Gaffney a must start against KC? (1 Viewer)

[cmv5]

Last year in week 17, Gaffney had 14 catches for 213 yards. Do you think that was a fluke or was Denver exploiting a KC weakness? Does anybody know who was mostly responsible for covering Gaffney last year? KC seems much more stingy against the pass this year.

e.t.a. Of course, I don't expect over 200 yards. Just wondering if this is another good match-up for him or if it is going to be a great match-up for Lloyd, instead.

If I had to guess week #17 was a meaningless game for KC last year. Not to mention the are a completely different team this year and leading there division.

Gaffney could have a good game against KC but comparing to last year is not going to get you the results you are looking for.

I constantly hear "dont chase last week's points". Im thinking chasing last year's points is probably not a great idea.

You have to remember that the Broncos were losing by a lot for most of that game, thanks to the defense being terrible and Orton throwing several pick-6s, so they were in catch-up mode for most of the game. Plus, Royal was being ignored, and Lloyd wasn't around, so there wasn't as much competition for the ball. So, while Gaffney could have a nice game, I don't see him putting up 10+ catches and 200+ yards again.

No, he's not a must start against KC.

He's probably not a must start, but he's starting for me.

I think he's a solid play in a PPR league, I can see 5-70 as a WR3. I think Lloyd going to garner more attention, opening it up a bit more for Gaffney.

Not a "must", but a "good" start. I'm starting him in a ppr and expecting 5/90 and maybe a score.

He got approximately 359 targets in that game. Marshall was out and Orton ignored basically everyone else. Might be part of the reason why he tossed not one but two pick-6s.

Lloyd's the WR1 now and Orton should spread it around more.

To me, one question is who is Brandon Flowers going to cover. If it is Lloyd, that can help Gaffney.
