I think that Helu is a solid play this week. Yes, Torain got the start. This is Shanahan's M.O. However, after 1 play in the 3rd quarter, Torain was benched for good. I suppose that Tashard Choice could get some looks, but I really feel comfortable knowing that Torain's ineptitude is forcing Shanahan to not get cute. At some point I suppose that Choice will get some looks. He might get 5 or 6 plays this week, but I really like Helu's chances to score.
You want to trust a greenhorn QB against a Belicheck defense go ahead, be my guest. He brutalized Suckchez with an array of blitzes, so unless Palko can audible his protection packages like a seasoned vet I don't see him getting more than 200 yards through the air, and I imagine most of that would be quick outs and check downs.
I have Cam Newton and Drew Brees. Which one would you trade? Example offered, and rejected: Gronkowski and Eli for Cam.
Sanchez still got 300 yards passing. Chad Henne got 416 yards, Jason Campbell got 344 Only 2 QBs have been held under 300 yards by the Pats, Eli Manning (250yards) and Sanchez (Only had 166 in their first meeting, but 2 TDs). I'm concerned, but only because any backup QB is concerning, not because of NE at all. Worth noting, Tyler Palko threw 5 passes last week. 4 completions to McCluster on check downs, and one to Steve Breaston.
KC will surely be behind quickly, and when they put Palko in that many passing situations it won't be pretty.
Big Ben has a broken thumb I need a QB I was targeting Phillip Rivers or Eli Manning Should I give up Laurent Robinson or Antonio Brown for either of these QBs? Robinson has a much easy schedule going forward (ARI, NYG twice, PHI,) but Brown is the 2nd best WR on the Steelers but Ben has a broken thumb... Thanks!
what if i ask for boldin or cribbs instead of rice in that deal i was offered? still not enough for white/sproles?
I think he will throw some picks, but also pick up yards. I'm going to start him just for the hell of it. I'll go ahead and pick of the NE defense as well, just to cover both sides.
Pick a QB: Stafford vs CAR Rivers @ CHI Pick 3 RB/2 WR Adrian Peterson vs OAK DeMarco Murray @ WAS Michael Bush @ MIN Marshawn Lynch @ STL Beanie Wells @ SF Larry Fitzgerald @ SF Denarius Moore @ MIN Jeremy Maclin @ NYG Pick a TE: Aaron Hernandez vs KC Jason Witten @ WAS Pick a DEF: Detroit vs CAR Dallas @ WAS
Scratch Maclin and put in Moore. I heard Mac's shoulder is a concern and he might not play. Moore looks to be Palmer's favorite target and you should be fine rolling with him.
Maclin isn't likely to play Witten isn't competing with another TE like Hernandez does week in and week out. You really should have traded a QB/RB for another WR by now.
thanks! this thread has helped me tons this year, i'm currently first in my league already clinched a playoff spot.
You are wise to follow the advice in this thread. Except for BigMak... we all decided to give him the worst advice possible because he's a convicted moose fondler.
