monster2333 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Goff vs. Philly. Could be a shootout with 2 of the best offenses in the NFL. But Philly D is good too - #13 vs. QBs. Carr @KC. He had a great game against KC the last time around, but hasn't been great lately. KC is #30 against QBs and with Peters out... Flex: I've got Burkhead at RB, Thomas at WR () and Brate at TE. Hopkins is one of my flex plays, so I've got to fill my other flex spot. Choices are: Collins @PIT - he's been my guy the last month or so, but I don't really like the matchup - Pit is #7 against RBs. Crowell vs. GB - Mostly a bad year with a couple decent games, but a pretty good matchup - GB is #27 against RBs. C.J. Anderson vs. NYJ - yuck. Jets are #6 vs. RBs and Anderson is awful. Woodhead @PIT - Not enough touches since coming back. But could outscore Collins if Ravens are forced to pass more. ASJ @DEN - Probably crazy to even consider it, but Denver has been awful (#30) vs. TEs this year. I really think it comes down to Collins or Crowell, but I can't decide. Thanks for your help!

So they are going to want to keep it on the ground as often as possible. The only thing I can see going against that strategy is if Pitt jumps out to a big lead and Woodhead sees allot of work. But these divisional rivalry games are usually close 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these divisional rivalry games are usually close Exactly my thoughts too. And the fact that Collins has been hot lately. Plus, he did post good numbers against Pit in their first game (9-82). What's got me 2nd guessing - along with what you said about Pit jumping out early - is that it's on the road. Collins has been decidedly better at home (13.1 pts/game) than on the road (6.7 pts). His only 2 good road games were back in week 3 (9-82 @JAX) and Week 11 against a bad GB run defense (20-49, TD). Even the GB game wasn't that great, but the TD saved him. Crowell's more balanced in that regard, averaging 8.4 in both home and away games. And he gets that same bad GB run defense at home. I guess I've only got about another 47 hours to think about it... And ultimately, probably make the wrong decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowell has been better of late but if they go down 14 points, it'll be The Duke show for cleveland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougsul Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Goff is at home while Carr is on the road. I lean towards Goff, plus how many good games has Carr really had during the past eight games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Crowell played late like Collins so I could get a feel for how my matchup is going and decide if I can play it safe or need to swing for the fences. Maybe it'll come down to a coin flip. 39 minutes ago, dougsul said: Goff is at home while Carr is on the road.

The KC pass D is awful and with their best DB suspended, they should be even worse. If their offense shows up like it did last week, it could turn into a shootout. Probably similar to my RB choices - Goff is probably the safer play, but Carr's got the big upside potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
