This is the game thread but I want to take this opportunity to remind folks about Thursday Night games and how they impact your rosters so I am going to touch on a couple issues here that I'm sure happen to all of you as well.
-If you are not going to start someone tonight then why keep them on your roster thru the weekend taking up a valuable roster spot? I will point to Sony Michel who did very little to make the Rams stop feeding Henderson the ball when he is healthy and since you know you won't be starting him tonight, let him GO! Go get you McKissic and at least open up your options going into the weekend. I'm just giving a basic example but the point is don't fill up your bench with guys you aren't going to play because typically you are then stuck with them the rest of the weekend until waivers next Tue/Wed.
-Next! Do not start a guy in your "Flex" spot tonight. If you are going to play Robert Woods then just start him as your one of your 3-4 starting WRs and save that flex spot for Sunday Morning when you might actually need it. I see guys in my leagues every week fill up Flex spots perhaps by accident on Thursday nights or just not thinking about it much and they handcuff themselves when last minute injuries arise or they need to start shuffling players around. So don't "flex" Henderson tonight, just start him as one of your 2 starting RBs even if you are going with stronger plays over the weekend and "Flex" Aaron Jones on Sunday.
Tonight's game should be awesome and I think Seattle has a chance to pull this off, Rams looked a little more vulnerable last week and teams have gotten to see more film of Stafford under center in a Rams' uniform. Primetime, Russell Wilson, you really gonna bet against him at home in one of the more interesting match ups of the week?
Seattle 27...Los Angeles 24 and there could be a shootout so i wouldn't take my point total too seriously. I like Seattle tonight at home on a short week, chance to move into 2nd place in the NFC West.
Cheers everyone and...
Go!
