Give me a back up for Hurts

[leftypower]

Have we learned nothing here? I mean, Tlance is a VERY SUCCESSFUL fantasy player so his advise should always be highly regarded (as is Treff's) and he always does his homework. Besides that, just look at his avatar - who do you think he like from that list ?

BTW - In my first response to this question I had forgotten that Geno will not have Lockett this week, and although it is still a juicy matchup, it does lower expectations a bit. I still don't think you can go wrong with either guy, but recent hot-hand goes to Cousins.

 

[redseat]

My fantasy luck absolutely BLOWS this year but I'd go with Cousins

 

[tlance]

The only thing I'd be worried about with Cousins playing the Giants is D. Cook/Mattison scoring all the TD's after JJ/Hock do all the work to get em inside the 5

And that could be said for virtually any team vs virtually any other team

So he's still the only logical choice. And if Geno or whomever happens to score 1 point more, you still wpuldve made the correct call. The right choice doesn't always guarantee success, and choosing the wrong choice, that just happens to pan out, isn't a stroke of genius. That's where 'luck' factors in. Go ahead and bet on luck, Vegas was built on those suckers

Yeah.

I think Geno is a good choice too.

Lockett’s status is a bit concerning for me there.

 

[TREFF]

no doubts
if there is one player more critical to the Seattle passing game, other than the QB himself, I'd be hard pressed to name him. DK Metcalf is great, for sure, but he's not the straw that stirs that drink. And no one else on that roster can come even close to doing what Lockett brings to the table.

In any 'hater''s defense..it used to be RGIII for the longest time

if no one has been holding Rodgers as their QB2 on their bench, I like his matchup in Miami, especially considering the wind/weather factor in so many games this weekend

would still go Cousins over Rodgers tho, but would consider Rodgers over Geno and I'm steering clear of Minshew Mania vs the Cowboys this weekend. He could provide a solid stat line, but I think it'll be a defensive struggle with Hurts out and Dallas' tendency to hammer the run when given the chance

Philly has shown a willingness to go really run heavy at times too.

And that is how teams tend to play against Dallas until they fall behind.

That is true, forgot about that - - but Cousins has endured in his heart - even as a Viking. ....

Best way to try and neutralize Parsons and Lawrence, especially if LVE is out for this game, which it sounds like he might be

And Philly is good enough defensively to be able to carry out a run heavy game plan for 60 minutes.

There really isn’t much at stake in this game. Both teams are almost locked into their playoff seed and likely to face off in January.

Decent chance they are both content to run the ball and play very basic.

Purdy for the safe floor if the rest of your team is strong enough to push you over the top

Yikes.

Have to take Carr there.

Pittsburgh not very good and I doubt Adams has 3 bad games in a row.

These were the two i was leaning towards. Very mad at myself for not seeing the weather and not taking danny dimes off waivers. Huntley is available too.

isn't it supposed to be sleeting/snowing for Steelers/Raiders game?
can't be that bad of weather in the SF bay, which was my reasoning for Purdy over the others

Yeah jesus. Brock purdy in a must win….

 

[broncosmitty]

I’m rolling with Minshew sans Hurts.

And I have $1100 on the line.

Turns out I shouldn’t have went with no backup after the Iggles bye week.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Well to muddy the waters for everyone.
Nick "The Savior" Foles is starting now against a Charger Defense.
Figure this could become a high scoring game.
Have no clue on how Foles is nowadays, but that whole spark of a new QB on an offense that if plays decent can put up some points on this defense.
Just thought I would stir the mud puddle with a stick.

Their run d is so bad thoygh. I see them running alot

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Their run d is so bad though. I see them running alot

well sure but they will guaranteed to have 30+ pass attempts, playing from behind quite possibly 40+ attempts.
Not like they can lean on J. Taylor to keep them from having to pass.

The real question is.
What do you believe Foles can do with the 30-40+ pass attempts in his 1st Start in a long time.
