I'm starting the Broncos in most of my leagues. Stanton will be starting, and the Broncos have gotten 8 sacks in 3 games.
I saw a forecast of 16-17 mph winds for the NYG/Atl game. Seems like that could affect the passing game.
Kapernick (I start P Manning so hes a luxury) and TE Olsen for TE Donnell and RB Foster. I basically suck at RB now with only Sproles, F Jackson and Taliaferro so I am desperate for decent RB production.
Calvin started last week and play half the snaps. Coach Jim Caldwell saying he wouldn't rule out Calvin sitting out. But for me, not fully practicing after a game where they limited his snaps. That says a lot of how his ankle is feeling. Benjamin has been great, but I like all aspects I consider for Cruz this week. I rarely look at what a player has done, more what they could do each week.
Yes. And I've watched Benjamin play consistently good in every game (even in his second game where he only had 2 catches he was still targeted 8 times) But if you don't want to take my word for it http://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/start/kelvin-benjamin-victor-cruz.php http://www.fantasysp.com/start/nfl/139580/victor-cruz-or-kelvin-benjamin https://www.numberfire.com/nfl/fantasy/who-do-i-start/kelvin-benjamin-or-victor-cruz http://genius.fantasy.nfl.com/ticke...i-start-week-2-victor-cruz-or-kelvin-benjamin
ESPN: Kevlin Benjamin (projected for 18) Benjamin sits alone as the No. 4 WR in ESPN standard scoring, just four points behind Green Bay's Randall Cobb for fifth overall at the position. The sample remains small, but the player remains inversely massive. The Bears have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per game to wideouts this season. Rumble, young man, rumble. -JM Cruz (projected for 16) Cruz's 151 yards after the catch this season are fifth most among wide receivers. Plus, the Falcons have allowed the most yards after the catch in the league this season. With Eli Manning finally thriving again and enjoying this quick-hitting West Coast scheme, Cruz is back in the weekly WR1 discussion. -JM They're both good starts according to ESPN though
Those links only look at each player's averages thus far. They don't consider specific game situations. And that makes them useless. For instance, those links wouldn't have even considered starting Green Bay DST for week 5. They wouldn't consider things like a short week, the rain, Bridgewater's injury, or the fact that the game was played in Green Bay. However, I considered those factors and started them in every league in which I'm streaming defenses. 22 fpts. I doubt you've watch the Panthers' games, but I'll take your word for it. In that case, it sounds like we've been watching the same games, but seeing different things. In week 1 vs the Bucs, he ended up with 15.2 fpts. About 9 of them came off a single low-percentage, highlight-reel reception TD, and Anderson was the QB. In week 3 vs the Steelers, he ended up with 17.5 fpts. About 10 of them came off another single low-percentage, highlight-reel reception TD when the Panthers were down 37-13. Again, Anderson was the QB. I would love for you to explain why you think Benjamin will continue to have success. And please do take into account his drop rate (I think he's dropping ~25% of his targets), Newton's inaccuracy, the Panthers' poor running game, their lack of receiving options, and their poor defense.
Matt Ryan against the Giants (he's also been my guy these first few weeks lol) Or Big Ben against a struggling Jacksonville?
Matt Ryan. With Atlanta's poor run defense, the Giants/Falcons game has the potential to be a shootout. If the Steelers build a sizable lead against the Jaguars, they would spend a lot of time running the ball to kill the clock.
Any thoughts on the forecast for wind? I don't even know if 17 mph winds is something to be concerned about, but it sounds fairly windy. I know I've owned Eli in the past and his game has suffered due to windy conditions. I'm thinking of deploying RRandle this week but this has me hesitant.
^^Hmm, just checked nflweather.com and it doesn't seem to show it being that windy. Not sure where the NFL network guy was getting his info. Rotoworld says "Winds on Sunday are anticipated to be at 10 mph, which is somewhat manageable for both teams. This situation is worth checking during pregame warmups on Sunday morning however, as winds are expected to be at roughly 15 mph during the rest of the weekend in the area."
Huh, did those links work for you? I'm clicking them now and they're broken links. Weird. I copy and pasted them directly. Anyway, those links do take their current match ups into the predictions.. the second link especially when into great details of their current matchup and opposing defenses. I'll try to post working links later. Benjamin is still putting up fantasy points.. there's a reason experts are watering over him right now. It's not like he's getting lucky touches: he's producing
Yes, the links work. And no, that's not great detail. It's fluff...nothing but useless information. Isn't it? You don't consider difficult, low-percentage, long-distance touchdown receptions thrown by the backup QB to be lucky?
