Theilen gets more targets--he's the preferred safety net. He's tremendous in the Red Zone, Diggs is not. Diggs is the downfield guy. Stat-wise it looks 1a and 1b, but the plays are designed around Theilen. Diggs getting shutout in KC after Theilen went down is no coincidence.

Diggs has taken on more of a possession role in Theilen's absence, but the offense hasn't been as explosive without Theilen in the lineup. It's necessity.

I have no idea what that all means for fantasy, other than I wouldn't make a big risk for Theilen's hamstring

Also, Vikes are on a bye and the MNF game in Seattle should play in the low to mid 20's.

[pdub]

Doing it.
I'd honestly prefer ( now that i've traded for him ) if they didn't play him vs Seattle and let him rest another week.

[twocoach]

I need a total of 8.5 points from RB Chris Carson and WR Tyler Lockett for Seattle tonight vs. Minnesota to win this weekend's match up and win my division. That would secure me a first round bye in our playoffs and lock me into a Top 4 finish.

Come on, Seattle!

[pdub]

I think you're good.

I swapped out New Orleans with KC's defense which turned out to be a winning decision.
2nd place in that league with the bye but kinda limping in with Tom Brady and Matt Ryan as my QBs.
1st place in work league with the bye with some potential in Thielen and Guice to pair with Mahomes, Chubb, Kamara and Godwin.

[twocoach]

Just saw that James White got 32 points on my bench last night. What a turd.

[twocoach]

And Carson now out with a head injury. I am doomed.

Never mind, he is back.

[pdub]

Would you drop Sony Michel ( week 15 v Cincy ) or Will Fuller ( week 15 v Tennessee, week 16 v Tampa ) for Guice?

[twocoach]

Depends, do you need him to start? He has @GB and vs. Philly the next 2 weeks.

Michel has only scored TDs in games against the Jets, Miami and Washington so he may find the endzone vs. Cincy.

Fuller has been worthless outside of 2 random games. If I was determined to get Guice and had to choose, I'd drop Fuller. He seems less likely to hit than Michel, who gets better match ups the next 2 weeks.

[pdub]

Week 14 bye.
Michel is scary but he does get carries and it's v Cincy.
I wouldn't think twice about dropping Fuller if he didn't have such a juicy matchup.

Someone will grab Michel/Fuller if I drop them for sure.
I may just let Guice be.

[pdub]

Guice out for the season.
Of course.

Pick one: Melvin Gordon v Min, Sony Michel at Cin or Deandre Washington v Jax.

Matt Ryan at SF or Tom Brady at Cin.

Washington.

Waiver wire.

[pdub]

I'm not trusting Mitch Trubisky, Kyle Allen or Eli Manning with my fantasy season on the line.

Anyone lucky enough to have drafted Lamar Jackson should have an easy path to a title.

Anyone lucky enough to have drafted Lamar Jackson should have an easy path to a title.

The person who drafted Lamar Jackson in my league didn't even make the playoffs. The overrating of Fantasy QBs continues.

[twocoach]

Last 4 teams standing in my league have 1) both Brees and Mahomes 2) both Wentz and Cousins 3) Dak Prescott and 4) Russell Wilson

[pdub]

OK, Eli Manning seems enticing for some reason at home v Miami.
Dropping Tom for Eli is on the table.

Anyone lucky enough to have drafted Lamar Jackson should have an easy path to a title.

I'd like to see stats on how many Jackson owners made playoffs.

Not sure there'd be a precise correlation, as he performed so much greater than ADP, and much of it might be dumb luck as anything else, considering this.

Makes sense.
McCaffrey and Lamar have had cheat code seasons.
