SD has had success against Denver with ball control. I dont believe it will be as high scoring as many believe. I see a 27-21 type game, and if SD runs the ball like it did last year, I can be screwed. For some reason, I think Ryan has a big game this week.
he statistically doesn't travel well and he's facing a D that gets after the QB. Detroit likely won't have Calvin again so they will likely run more and shorten the game. I'd rather be in a shootout with Peyton. A win for Rivers on the road and he leapfrogs Peyton in the MVP race, IMO.
IMO, wont make the playoffs. Everyone is jumping on them ebcause they beat Seattle at home this year (Seattle is turning out to be like everyone else in the NFL.)
Their schedule is absolutely brutal to end the year:
at Baltimore
New England
Denver
at San Francisco
at Kansas City
losing to all those teams on the road, and splitting with Denver/NE at home. I think they are a good team, but it is a pretty tough schedule to end with.
And they played some really shitty offenses lately. Oakland, Buffalo, Jets, Jacksonville.
I would trade Brandon Oliver and DeAndre Hopkins
I would receive Randall Cobb and Andre Williams (I have Jennings)
This is a PPR League and I would esentially rip my RB depth for a playoff lineup of Brady, Lynch, a healthy Jennings or Joique Bell, Dez, Brandon Marshall and Randall Cobb.
I just don't see any way Mathews isn't inserted right where he left off. You don't replace experience, especially when it keeps your MVP candidate QB upright and safely in the pocket.
He's still got good value, but I don't see the huge games others do.
gotta figure Seattle gets its head out of their ass and nuts up on defense. No Megatron most likely but Atlanta D blows so you should expect TD's to come.
SD is a good team, I 100% buy them and think they will make the playoffs. People don't realize how well their defense is playing.
I have their defense for fantasy. They havent done shit the last two weeks - in fact they were downright awful in Oakland and KC left a lot of points on the table with some wide open drops too. I think they have had some injuries though - Flowers and a few others - not sure when they get those guys back. I do know I'm not touching them tonight - I picked up Miami Defense this week as a spot play (@ Jax).
But I agree San Diego could be a WC team. They're going to battle Miami, Baltimore, and KC for 2 wild card slots. Their game in Miami next week is enormous.

Their loss last week could be crippling. KC offense dominated them. I think Rivers went one stretch where he was on the field for over 90 minutes (halftiem included).
The last game of the year at Kansas City could be for a playoff spot.
I have Jamaal Charles so was thinking of cuffing him, TE has been a question mark since losing Rudolph. Not thrilled giving up Randle who likely will be a target hog down the stretch, is Kelce that big of an upgrade to make this deal worthwhile?
I don't disagree with your opinion on Rivers. I don't love QB's on the road on a short week, but I really don't like Ryan's matchup. Outside of his home stadium, he's JAG and he's going against a top notch pass defense.
Oliver is going to have a big role in that offense
regardless of Mathews. He's most likely going to fill in for Woodhead's role at a minimum, which means he's going to see looks in the passing game and I'd assume he snakes some of Mathews carries as well. He's still going to be a starting caliber RB/Flex, but his value will drop a bit. I wouldn't be so quick to trade him unless the return was good.
I think the Saints O is going to go wild on Sunday night. It's a must win for them and they're in the dome.
Allen is going to get into the endzone eventually... I don't know if tonight will be the night. If I were in your shoes, I would be positive that Allen were going to score if I benched him tonight.. but that he would catch like 3 passes for 40 yards if I started him.
Sanders and Julius in one league, Hillman in another. I kind of want to start Rivers but I have to go with Brees. If I don't use Brees this week, there's no point in even having him.
the edge just because it gives TNF a little more juice. They've been going off for me too. But I already have Rivers and Sanders playing for me tonight.
Denver has some really good corners though. Fuck it. I'm starting Cadet.
Once you start messing with your lineup, everything gets fucked up. I already set the wheels in motion by changing my mind on Wright because of Mettenberger. I decided on Cooks and am positive I am making the wrong decision.

You can get a great return for Brees (I'm someone that could overpay him as a Ryan/Tannehill owner).
Who should I start as my Flex?
Anthony Dixon (vs Jets)
Ben Cunningham (vs KC)
Andre Holmes (vs Cle)
Leaning towards Dixon at the moment. Can't wait for Gordon to come back and solve that damn Flex problem.
I was desperate for WR help at that point, though... I think OBJ will fix that so I'm kind of glad I held onto Brees. He's throwing for 300+ every week, the TD's just haven't come in bunches yet but they will.
As for your situation.. I'm not sure I've had good read on that BUF RB scenario so I don't know how much you can expect from Dixon. I wouldn't use Cunningham there. If it's PPR Holmes may actually be your best bet.
This is what I get for listening to you know it alls. I saw this coming from a mile away. This is the rivers we all know and love. Safe throws. Takes a risk and gets picked.

at San Francisco
at Kansas City
They could realistically go 1-4 in those 5 games.
And they played some really shitty offenses lately. Oakland, Buffalo, Jets, Jacksonville.

Thoughts?
He's still got good value, but I don't see the huge games others do.
Cam Newton
ALL TD's 6 points... 1 pt every 35 yards pass, 1 pt every 10 yards rushing
They have been KILLING me all season...

Kelce + Knile Davis for Harbor + R Randle
I have Jamaal Charles so was thinking of cuffing him, TE has been a question mark since losing Rudolph. Not thrilled giving up Randle who likely will be a target hog down the stretch, is Kelce that big of an upgrade to make this deal worthwhile?
Kelce for Randle is a wash IMO. So you are trading a scrub TE for a backup RB. Just not a big deal.
Would you Guys start Keenan Allen tonight.
Other options are Darren McFadden or Patterson
Delaney Walker vs Houst?
Leaning towards Allen, simply because of qb and defensive lines.

I would go Allen as well. Luck spreads it around and I think Nicks is going to be less of a redzone option going forward.
Orton. It's the Jets secondary.
Wilson @ Car
??
Now that Mettenberger has been named starter in TEN, I'm having 2nd thoughts about starting Kendall Wright. Ugh.
Maybe I should just start Allen Robinson. Dude is getting a ton of targets.
I'm really thinking of pulling the trigger on Travaris. Keenan Allen has been a mess for me.

So did you puke yet? He has 10 points in the first half. I benched him in one league and left him out there in another league.
I also benched Rivers in one league in favor of Stafford. So far, I am feeling good about that decision.
Capt checkdown.
They don't even bother running the ball. Peyton doesn't believe in balance.
