Pick 2 of these 3

JoHo @Buffalo
JuJu @ Baltimore
Lat vs Detroit

Thinking Howard gets 20 plus touches again this week, JuJu went fer 60 at home against this D and now Lat looks like he'll be the lead dog, but still loses some touches to Cook................bonus points fer long TD's.

Think the Bills-Bears will be low-scoring.
If this is PPR, I'd go JuJu and Lat.
If this is standard, I'd reluctantly go JoHo and Lat.

Yeah, it's standard...........having a really hard time sitting Juju but right now that's how I have it. Sitting Howard fer Murray and AP in the Too Long League and starting to have doubts on Murray..........even though I can't see Cook being a huge factor you really never know...............

JuJu and Lat. One thing Buffalo can do is play somewhat decent defense. If I had to put money on any Bears this week, it'd be Cohen.

Not that Juju's matchup is any better, might be worse, but I've got more faith there

Juju and Lat unless Cook plays which he might, game time decision (they're saying Cook would be in line for 15 to 20 touches). Go with Howard if Cook plays. Buffalo has a good D but they've given up some points RBs. I know Howard can be hard to trust but the match up is decent there.

I would start Howard over Lat

Dealing with the Peterman in Buffalo, could get ugly quick. Don't see Trubisky having to throw much.

Howard is a really good option this week.

Juju and Lat, I don't trust Howard, even in a positive game script

Remember that bucs game the bears won by 40pts? Howard was no where to be found, and Buf plays way better D than TB

Except....

TB is really good against the run and historically bad against the pass. Buffalo is really good against te pass and susceptible to the run game.

This is about more than game script. Matchups favor Howard.

Standard scoring, bucs give up 9th most points against RBs, Bills are 11th, so not really an advantage targeting bills over bucs, and I don't trust Chicago play calling to feed Howard, banking too heavily that he gets a TD

Right and also wrong.

Bills are 4th against the pass and 12th against the run in terms of DVOA. Bucs are 32nd against the pass and 15th against the rush.

The way to attack the Bills is on the ground. The Bucs are exactly the opposite. Expect Nagy to have a run based game plan since his QB struggles with consistently, the Bills have a top notch pass defense and game script will almost surely favor them.

Against the Bucs, every single matchup indicator called for Chicago to attack through the air. And they did just that. This is a much different situation.

And yes, I am starting Jordan Howard in my DFS lineups this week as a correlation play with the Bears D.

got to agree all the good scores have several TDs

Ravens CB Jimmy Smith is starting today. He has a good track record for shadowing AB. I think JuJu is really going to step up today for Big Ben.

Yep it'll be an interesting game. I still don't have a lot of confidence in the Steelers offense. Especially after they struggled in the first half of last week's game against Cleveland. They were coming off bye and looked putrid!

But as history has shown, Ben is always kicking things into high gear in the months of November & December. I'm hoping that holds true.

Cleveland D is legit, especially against the pass, and they've played Pit well last few outings, not sure I worry that much about that game

No Diggs, half a Cook...

Howard and JuJu.

tlance is correct, teams can gash the Bills with a run game....just so happens nobody does it.
