Who else faced the SD def on Thurs? (1 Viewer)

Jeez..........yeah I know point to the shirt - anyone else having to come up with some high ceiling options now that your down 20+ pts due to a freaking defence?

I am thinking Maybe Ronnie Hillman - he busted a few 90+ yards td's in college and now has a little more confidence with the coaching staff?

Anyone else have to swing for the fences this weekend?

 
I played against them in one of my dynasty leagues, but it's a Superflex league where he doesn't have a second QB option because of byes...so I should make up the difference there.

I say just play out the week as you normally would. I have played against 3 of the top 5 defensive scores of the season and managed to win all three weeks. It just stings a little more because you are staring at that big score from Thursday through Sunday.

 
I played the owner of the SD defense, and he kept them on his bench! :excited:

But GLGB on finding that high ceiling RB2. I'd mention Ronnie Brown, but that ship has sailed.

 
Picked them up in both of my leagues! Can't be happier with the aquisition. It was my first time all year where I recorded a good showing from a Thursday night game.

 
It's going to be near impossible to find someone on your WW who's ceiling is even remotely close to what SD put up. If I absolutely had to take a stab though, there might be a handful of options. You would however, have to be hurting to start them in the first place.

Daniel Thomas @IND - When you think upside, Thomas may be the last player on your list. He's a plodder. He's also a plodder who will get ample opportunities at the GL. IND has surrendered 8 TDs on the ground this season, multiple TDs to both Bush and Green who also are similar runners. He easily is the best bet for a multi TD game on your WW.

Ronnie Hillman @CIN - You mentioned him and he would be a good choice. CIN has been very generous to RBs this year and if the game gets out of hand, he could see 12-15 touches quite easily. He has large enough big play ability to capitalize on those touches.

Phillip Tanner @ATL - You would absolutely need a Felix injury for this to pan out, but I figure there are better odds of Fragile Felix going down then a DST scoring two defensive TDs. ATL's interior has been exposed by similar power backs such as McGahee and ALMO this year. They've also done a good job containing shiftier backs such as Charles, Mathews and McCoy. It's a long shot, but not as long as some may think.

I guess you can call them sleepers.
