dreen626 17 Posted September 17, 2013 Jags will have to pass as they won't be able to run but I'm not sure they will be able to pass either. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
We Tigers 71 Posted September 17, 2013 I don't know that he'll get the Sherman-all-game treatment the way Boldin did. Still, there are probably a lot of better options on most rosters than going against a Seattle team that just slaughtered San Fran. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheUsualSuspect 207 Posted September 17, 2013 As stated on other threads, I don't like playing anyone vs SEA right now... However, my decision is Shorts vs M Williams... WR3 With nothing more than a gut feeling, I will play C Shorts and hope for garbage yards and perhaps an accidental TD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vikings4ever 496 Posted September 17, 2013 He may have some PPR value, but I'm sitting him for Moreno. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squintz82 45 Posted September 17, 2013 I feel like Seattle will go up early and play sofer coverage for most of the second half. I can see Shorts being a decent play in PPR for his garbage time catches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted September 17, 2013 I feel like Seattle will go up early and play sofer coverage for most of the second half. I can see Shorts being a decent play in PPR for his garbage time catches. I don't know if the Jags are going to get to 100 yards of total offense. Maybe 10 catches for 23 yards for Shorts is possible. I am debating benching him for Pierce, though he has a really tough matchup too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am debating benching him for Pierce, though he has a really tough matchup too. I'm on the fence between Shorts and Mathews. I have waiver priority on Pierce this week, but I don't think he's worth a start between facing the Texans and Rice possibly playing a reduced role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigmark3333 11 Posted September 17, 2013 Playing him over the likes of Reuben Randle, Chris Givens, Andre Roberts and Kenbrell Thompkins (aka horrible alternatives). Not happy about it, but I'm hoping for either a slight letdown game from Seattle and/or some garbage time points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted September 18, 2013 Just traded Shorts and Wilson for Desean. Neither of those 2 bums are playable this week or most others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobody 2,066 Posted September 18, 2013 I would bench my mother versus Seattle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron Silversmoke 2 Posted September 18, 2013 Im benching him in favor of Hopkins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted September 18, 2013 That owner is crazy Yea I'm happy about it. Til Wilson breaks a 60yd td, desean gets held to 75 yds and all of a sudden it's a bad trade for me in eeryones eyes. Things happen, rb depth is far more important than wr depth, but Wilson just looks like he's lost all of his upside besides his natural ability wich is arguably overrated as it is.

5Year1 23 Posted September 19, 2013 With no Blackmon, he will draw Sherman and we saw what happened like week to Boldin. Unless you have absolutely NO other options, I think he is a sit this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antiramie 50 Posted September 19, 2013 Most likely benching him for Michael Floyd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdm_1971 0 Posted September 19, 2013 benched and placed deangelo williams in as flex..... at least i feel confident that williams will get me some points.... i dont like any wrs against those corners in seattle right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busted by the Feds 9 Posted September 19, 2013 Why are Yahoo and ESPN high on Shorts this week ? Yahoo, I believe has him projected for 14 pts. and ESPN has him for 12 . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rallo 132 Posted September 19, 2013 I wouldn't be a worried about it if the game were in JAX... but it's in seattle, which looks like the toughest place in the league to play... i don't see much offense from the jaguars on sunday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flgatorguy87 160 Posted September 19, 2013 Benching him for either KT or Marlon...not sure which yet, but that shows my confidence in Seahawks D. To the poster who said big lead equals soft coverage...what was Boldins line and the score last week? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheUsualSuspect 207 Posted September 19, 2013 To the poster who said big lead equals soft coverage...what was Boldins line and the score last week? Lets be fair here... SF/SEA was competitive well thru three quarters... Although I think JAX covers the spread (somewhere around 20), SEA should jump out to big lead early.

Dsausage 36 Posted September 19, 2013 No, Jax will score this week. This game reeks of crazy any given sunday week. Seattle is due for a letdown and Jax due for their guys to play hard. To the bank.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 597 Posted September 19, 2013 after what I saw seattles defense do against San Fran, I'd say yes. Shorts should be benched this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To the bank.... Due for a letdown after 2 games? People are saying this game feels like an upset only because the spread is so ridiculous and the underdog is so weak. It's going to turn out exactly how it looks IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheUsualSuspect 207 Posted September 23, 2013 With nothing more than a gut feeling, I will play C Shorts and hope for garbage yards and perhaps an accidental TD. Week 3 (@SEA) 8-143 0 TD If you did not start him, you fail. He is a Top 15 guy that with Henne... with Blackmon (soon), should be a must start every week.

We Tigers 71 Posted September 23, 2013 I seriously underestimated how astonishingly bad Jacksonville was. It was garbage time against the Seattle JV by the third quarter. Big day for Shorts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreenTD 56 Posted September 23, 2013 I benched him in one league for Josh Gordon (Good move). Benched him in another league for Andre Roberts (Epic fail). Still going to win both leagues but like a previous poster said, it was like a 5th preseason game for Seattle in the 2nd half when they sat the majority of their starters.

TheUsualSuspect 207 Posted September 23, 2013 like a previous poster said, it was like a 5th preseason game for Seattle in the 2nd half when they sat the majority of their starters. Irrelevant from a fantasy perspective. All I know is that he put up 8/143. The game went pretty much how most expected. "Garbage Time" is your friend.

It's just so hard to put a guy in your lineup every week banking on 4th quarter garbage time catches/yards. Week 1- 0 catches in the first 3 quarters. 3 catches for 40 yards in the 4th quarter. Week 2- 4 catches for 37 yards in first 3 quarters. 4 catches for 56 yards in the 4th quarter. Week 3- 3 catches for 24 yards until under 2 minutes to go in 3rd quarter. 5 catches for 119 yards after that. Can we continue to bank on him putting up reliable fantasy stats in garbage time of the 4th quarter? I know Jacksonville is bad, but it just seems like a tough way to continue to put someone in your lineup. He's been pretty non existent until the games are out of reach.

However, you did the homework for us ... And the numbers you pulled for each of the first three games suggest a trend. Also, do not underestimate how Shorts will draw more one-on-ones once Blackmon returns. I think Shorts will produce steady 80-120yd games every week; however, he may also be the kinda guy that will end up with 100+ rec, 1300 yds... And like only 3TDs end of season. I'm a fan, will play him every week until further notice. Dude is good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if I agree with you if Gabbert comes back and starts though. There is a huge difference between Shorts' production with Henne versus Gabbert. So I'm hoping Henne remains the starter.
