Any Vikes guys know why Turner has completely ignored Rudolph now for 6 quarters of football? Especially in this matchup where the Hawks non-strength has to be TE and slot receiver? I just don't get it.

Beautiful prose, right there. Thanks for the laugh, although it's not really funny.

Worst decision was not trading for a good QB late in the season with a lot of depth at both RB and WR. Not fully planning out matchups for the Super Bowl week in advance of week 14 and losing because of it. (Typing this to try to reinforce it for the rest of my fantasy life...) Specifically... deciding to pick up and then go with Tannehill even with the arguable weather. Not that I had any other good options at QB (see above). Sticking with Andre Johnson at WR in hopes "the stud" would pan out one more time, despite common sense, instead of giving Alshon Jeffery a chance. Not having the courage to plug in Alfred Morris in a game that made sense he would have a lot of opportunities, and sticking with Moreno, in the hopes he would get a big score and not sit for a lot of the game. Not much of a difference in the end... but you asked... In short - it NEVER is time to rest on your laurels and avoid getting better through planning and preparation. And... sometimes the other team just has a better week. Sorry for the rambling response. Just a disappointing week, as many will have. If I could do it again - would probably do it the same, except for the laziness earlier in the year.

Thanks for all the info and thoughts, guys. I'm facing a red hot team with wonderful match ups and will need all I can get.

Now there's talk about the Bears resting their starters if the Pack loses, and latest word is Rodgers is not playing. What a strange scenario with these teams coming down the stretch. I need the usual Forte performance and was toying with playing Jeffery considering the attractive passing matchup with the Eagles, despite Cutlers love of Marshall. Any local hints from Trestman other than his strange comment that really said little?

Need Ryan to hook up with Julio early, late, and often tonight. Have both going against opponent with nobody, I'm down 14 in a scoring heavy league with small bonuses for good yardage and completion levels. Pretty much need Julio to score a TD from Ryan to have a solid chance, though. Consolation prize in relatively high dollar league, pays for my entry and moves for the year - well worth it. Have already closed out opponent for 3rd place in another league with some nice performances. Happy to salvage some $$ after losing Jamaal Charles early on this year on both teams, with other issues along the way. Should be fun - great MNF matchup with so many points possible hanging out there with these two division rivals. Good Luck to all!

Is this based on your opinion or something that has been said by the team/Ben? I appreciate the information from all, especially the targets info. That is a consistently low target ratio, not something I would want to hang my hat on.

Yeah - it's not a hugh thing for me, several options about the same with minor drawbacks. I just figured there were some Steeler watchers here that might have a thought on how they've connected in the past. No doubt his quick slants can be dangerous, and the Rams should provide some opportunities for all Steelers this week.

Wondering about Batch and how he has performed targets-wise when replacing Big Ben over the past couple of years. I'd guess Wallace would still be a solid look, but not sure if Batch has gone his way when in the lineup, and I'd guess they might not be looking at as many deep balls with him in the lineup. Anyone have an opinion about this from watching those games?

Epic observation. Congrats to the Chiefs!

(Sorry). Non PPR league, I need Wallace and SF Defense to outscore Akers by 19.5 points. Tough to root for Wallace and SF defense against each other, but stranger things have happened. Expected output has me losing by about two points, but I can live with that kind of shot going in. I definitely need Wallace to have a big game, and Akers to not have FG opportunities. Should be interesting - hoping for the best, good luck to everyone (except my opponent). Hope Big Ben plays to make it a really special game.

Or, one of the unemployed/retired big dogs might take a longer look at KC as a job...

Wow, thanks Chavez. That sucks for you guys, no doubt.

Serious OL issues? Long term, or just dinged up today? That could be bad for them, needless to say.

I can only imagine how loud Arrowhead is about now... For those watching the game - is the loss of Jennings really hurting, or is the Chiefs defense just playing that well?
