SoxBandit Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 It's supposed to be in the mid-20's, light wind. Thats football weather Now, if it was low-10's or single-digits, thats something else. If either of these teams claim that weather was a factor, they deserve to lose....and not be playing in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raulmz Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Im not starting Crabtree...with Marcus Peters shadow him.. Edited December 7, 2016 by raulmz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosGatosEnFuegos Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 It's worth noting that Peters won't shadow Crabtree, but Crabtree plays on Peters' side of the field 80-90% of the time. The Raiders made no effort to move him around more than usual in Week 6.If I hear news that Siemian is playing before TNF, Crabtree will probably sit for Sanders.

LosGatosEnFuegos Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Although it's also worth noting that it was pouring rain on Oakland's mud-pit of a field in Week 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I believe Cooper gets his targets back where they need to be with Peters doing a number on Crabtree. My opponent has Crabtree, and I just don't think sitting Cooper is the right thing to do here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babe3927 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Yea. I'm thinking of starting Hill along with Cooper, Ware, Janikowski, and Houston. YIKES! Half my load shot on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekroot Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 We have the same weather as Kansas City in Indiana. It's just about identicle. I really don't think weather will be a factor. Thirty degrees here feels like 50 degrees to people in California. You get used to it, and just wear an extra layer. I guess it's all relative. There's no moisture in the air right now or tomorrow, so it doesn't chill to the bone like it does in Oakland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rileyrott Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 wait, how not close? If OAK wins two, KC wins three, and DEN wins four, wouldn't they be in a three-way tie for first? I like this scenario: Week 14: KC beats Oak, Den beats Ten, NE beats Bal Week 15: KC beats Ten, Den beats NE, Oak beats SD Week 16: Den beats KC, Oak beats Ind, NE beats NYJ Week 17: Den beats Oak, SD beats KC, Mia beats NE As a result Denver, NE, and Oakland all finish 12-4. Denver wins the tiebreaker over Oakland based on best win percentage in common games, and wins the tiebreaker over NE based on head-to-head. Result: Denver = #1 AFC Seed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Guys, Marcus Peters is not a shutdown corner. He is a stud but he takes a TON of chances. Maybe CD can correct me here, but as a Peters owner I've watched him quite a bit and love his fantasy production but I wouldn't classify him as a shutdown guy quite yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I got Derek Carr and Cooper in my main league...and Spencer. Don't like having 3 dudes in one Thursday game but it is what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 wait, how not close? If OAK wins two, KC wins three, and DEN wins four, wouldn't they be in a three-way tie for first? Your prior post didn't specificallysay OAK only winning two games, though it was implied (since DEN plays OAK and you said they win out). I didn't know they played again, yes under those conditions DEN-OAK-KC are tied at 12-4 But I'm afraid to say DEN does not win the division, KC would get that. DEN & OAK would be wild cards (OAK-5 seed) At least accoridng to the ESPN playoff machine below (KC over OAK today, DEN goes 4-0 [wins over KC & DEN). I went with winning% to determine game winners. http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/machine/_/factor/wins/results/400874694~1~400874428~1~400874585~2~400874711~1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCMB Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I'm a Raiders fan, and Carr owner....but this matchup and the fact it's on TNF scares me. And the weather forecast just ices it, I'm benching him for Rivers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the weather forecast just ices it, I'm benching him for Rivers. I'm facing the same decision. I've already benched Smith for Luck in another league, even with a seemingly tougher matchup. I have Rivers penciled in but am tempted to play Carr. I will likely not give in to the temptation. It's gonna be cold as balls out there, gonna be loud - especially on big 3rd downs - and that Chief pass rush can be brutal. Should be a great game.

Chief Dick Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Guys, Marcus Peters is not a shutdown corner. He is a stud but he takes a TON of chances. Maybe CD can correct me here, but as a Peters owner I've watched him quite a bit and love his fantasy production but I wouldn't classify him as a shutdown guy quite yet. I would say early in the season teams would throw on Peters still. This has really stopped over the last 6 games or so. So my guess isn't that he his necessarily shutting guys down, but that he is such a ballhawk that they are afraid of the turnover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chiefs, for whatever reason, have been pretty good against Carr. They have 5 picks against him in 4 career starts. They have also sacked him 17 times in 5 career starts, which is 5 more than Denver has in the same number of starts against the Broncos. Our D coordinator has just done well against Carr historically. Couple that with the cold - and it is bitter here, folks, with a light breeze....I almost go with Rivers. But of course he will probably light it up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowboutthemCowboys Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Evan Silva - KC has allowed the 10 most TDs and 11 most YDs passing in the league this season. And the 2nd most QB rush yards WRs have gone 14 of 22 for 193 and 2 in the last 3 games against Peters. Funchess and Aldrick Robinson caught the TDs Edited December 8, 2016 by HowboutthemCowboys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
