TennisMenace 156 Posted November 15, 2014 I was not able to get him so I guess I either play Jennings or Stewart who should have a delicious matchup against the woeful Falcons. But we all know how that usually winds up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NEWPOSTERGUY! 267 Posted November 15, 2014 - nasty, running game friendly weather? check - vs. below average run defense, who just put their best run stopper on IR? check - first time starter at qb, on a run heavy team? check - Clowney/Watt/Cushing all present for the first time in weeks, setting up some short fields? check 21/78/2 2/12/0 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rainey not rostered anymore. Rolling with Mathews over him. Ellington as well because Stanton should be throwing several dump offs to him against the Lions.

Cuse9 128 Posted November 15, 2014 Problem with Blue is he hasn't done anything with his chances this year. His best game is 78 yards, he's not involved in the passing game and he hasn't found the endzone. I don't think Houston is a great offense for running backs, I think Arien Foster is a great running back when he's healthy. Some systems you can plug and play, but I don't think that is the case for Blue. With that said, he's still not a bad roll of the dice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted November 15, 2014 Oh, ok. Ellington and Matthews make sense. My opponent had Fred Jackson inactive and is starting Anderson so I grabbed Blue to limit his options. Hopefully Anderson is splitting carries with Ball versus a good Rams defensive front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully Anderson is splitting carries with Ball versus a good Rams defensive front. If Foster doesn't play, it sounds like you have a choice to make- Blue or Matthews. I think this is close enough to call a draw because you can make a case for both. Both have appealing opponents. I wonder if Houston takes blue out near the goal line. I believe they did that once before. I don't think Matthews would come out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMMensaMind 459 Posted November 15, 2014 I picked up Blue for a zero bid (I have no budget left) last night; lots of owners in that league snoozing - but here's the greatest part. The Foster owner has two good TEs: Orange Julius and Gates. I just traded Dwayne Allen and Alfred Blue for Julius - hours before our league's trade deadline. Foster owner had no other viable options to start @ RB to replace Foster. This is the same league where I acquired Julio Jones. So here is the new breakdown in this 12 team league: Rivers/Sanchize/Wilson Forte/Bradshaw/Jennings/Rainey/Sims/BryceB ABrown/Jordy/Julio/Gordon Julius/Kelce/Rudolph Holy sheet. That's the best team I've ever put together. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe they did that once before. I don't think Matthews would come out. I almost ALWAYS choose the guy playing at home (Mathews in this case). I think with Houston benching Fitzpatrick, Cleveland may just load the box to make Mallett throw more. I'm scared of these 'dream matchups' (Cleveland's porous run defense).

I don't blame you for being scared. I recently had my McKinnon running against a horrible defense, I think Cleveland OR tamp, and they were ranked 32 in rushing defense, and he got all of 5 points. HORRIBLE teams usually play much better against HORRIBLE teams. I think only the good teams abuse the bad teams. So yes, beware when two horrible teams play each other- the rules are different. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So yes, beware when two horrible teams play each other- the rules are different. EXACTLY. Well put man. Matchups are only good for good players/teams. Plus when they state "_____ gives up the 16th fewest points versus the run" Well, they're average then (32 teams). You look closer and they've faced opponents who use a RBBC so their numbers given to opposing RBs look better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed but it's still an unknown (Mallett) so why chance it if you don't have to? I'll take the safer play everytime unless I'm down big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted November 15, 2014 So with Foster out this week with a pulled groin, any chance of this being a multiple week injury? Weeks 13 & 14 (Ten & @ Jax) project to be very nice matchup versus putrid teams. :crossesfingers: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BREWSTER_MIL 0 Posted November 16, 2014 Starting my boy Blue over Joke Bell in one league and Bradshaw in another. He's an everydown back that should get goal line carries. I expect 90 yards rushing with 5 receptions & a TD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
