sderk 1,040 Posted December 14, 2018 Detroit is actually stout against rushing QBs. Yeah, I mis-quoted. But I think Allen has the arm and the escapability to get away from a medium rank Def. on the road in the cold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purplengold47 27 Posted December 14, 2018 This is my dilemma this week. Should i start rodgers who is up against the no 1 def Chicago or take some risk and start allen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just not sure the rushing yards are going to be there and banking on Allens arm against any defense isn't something I personally want to do. He's a high risk high reward play to me.

He's a high risk high reward play to me. Absolutely. But if Jackson starts out against TB with 0-6 and a pick, I'm not sure we won't see Flacco. Uggh. I lost Garoppolo and Wentz this year. Oh well, next up. I like Allen's future in this league if Buff can recover from what they have these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh well, next up. I like Allen's future in this league if Buff can recover from what they have these days. I was debating the same two guys plus Ryan. As of now I'm going with Ryan. At least I have the luxury of going down on the ship of the player that got me to this point, which may help me sleep in case I'm wrong and it cost me the game.

Falcons are favored at this time by nearly 10 points this week over Ariz. But Arizona has a top 5 passing def. That's a tough call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When rodgers played them, that was week 1 at home and chi def doesn't have khalil mack yet. Did u watch what chi did to goff and rams. They scored 6 total pts and goff threw for 4 ints, gurley 28 rush yds. This is a different chicago defense compared to week 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chicago was leading 17-3 at halftime and 20-3 at the start of the 4th quarter. If you remember, this is the game where Rodgers hurt his knee and was out of the game for a bit. Rodgers returning to throw 3 TD's in the 3rd quarter on a bump leg to win the game is the EXACT definition of domination. https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/09/10/aaron-rodgers-knee-injury-comeback-packers-bears-week-1 Of course, the Bears D is definitely tough and Rodgers certainly has a challenge this weekend.

Chicago got a legit defense, rodgers might play well again or he may not but if you're thinking rodgers is a safe bet this week and not thinking about any other options, man u need to play more fantasy.

Okay, I give up. I don't think you understand what happened in the game at all. You'll have to watch the highlights I linked to get a better understanding of what actually went on vs what you think went on. I'm saying Rodgers dominated when he came back in. I really have no horse in this fight, I'm just telling you that I don't think Josh Allen is an option over Rodgers. But that's only my opinion. Obviously, there are others who think differently.

nospk 230 Posted December 15, 2018 Newton was held to two yards, Wilson had 15, Trubisky had 18. I watch every Lions game and am willing to bet that Allen rushes for more yards than all 3 of those guys combined and most likely will get close to 100 yards again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sderk 1,040 Posted December 16, 2018 I hope Roquan Smith gets a clean shot in on Rodgers and sends him into next week. That being said, as a Bear's fan, I always hate watching them play this guy. I have zero confidence in the Bears when they play against him. The weather in Chicago is going to be of no factor. No wind, no moisture. Mid 40's. Not your normal December day.

If it were at all in my control to have players injured, of course I wouldn't push that button. But it's a violent game and if Rodgers took a clean hit and had to sit for the rest of the game, then I wouldn't care at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
