Should Brady owners be afraid of Denver?

[Mopar4u 4]

Anyone benching Brady this week?

[greenegt 3]

Yep. Benching for Cousins.

[shredhead 21]

Still on the fence. Carr vs Sandy Eggo is my other option. Still unsure which way I'm gonna go.

[Kent 228]

Yes. If Blount wasn't on the team, no.

[TXScubaDiver 3]

Benching Brady for Rivers v.OAK.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

Currently have Tyrod in. I think if the weather is shitty in Buffalo then I started Brady

[DankNuggs 305]

Debating Brady v Dalton... The talking heads have Dalton slightly ahead. But not sure i can bring myself to benching brady

[Oriole8159 86]

I'm coincidentally playing against the team in my league with Brady , and the owner got Tyrod off waivers yesterday.

He still has Brady slated in, and I'm kind of thinking I'd prefer he keeps it that way.

[Captain Goomy Noomy Roo 47]

NOPE!

[$epphori$ 118]

Benching him for Ryan

[cooolbreeze 0]

Probably benching him for Ryan but, could Ryan's #s be low too since they will run the ball all over SF and Julio will most likely be out?

[gardenstatepkwy 5]

On the fence. May bench him for Rivers.

[Mile High Magic 8]

Winston

[polecatt 403]

Starting Brady.

A big game is little less likely against Denver I suppose but I think he will put up solid numbers almost certainly.

I figure he's about as good for a top 5 QB game for the week as anyone.

yep, agree. I got Rivers and he could be better but no way i chance Brady having great game on my bench. Going down with the ship.

[IGotWorms 3,315]

Obviously I wish he was playing a different team this week ... but no, I am not benching

[Marshall 98]

Today's food for thought

 

Ian Rapoport Verified account ‏@RapSheet

#Broncos could be without two starting LBs vs. #Patriots

 

 

James Palmer Verified account ‏@JamesPalmerTV

Broncos LB Brandon Marshall not here at practice again (hamstring). Hasn't practiced all week, pretty safe guess he's out Sunday.

[Kent 228]

The run narrative is there. Ugh.

[murf74 461]

Today's food for thought

 

 

 

Blount runs wild

[$epphori$ 118]

Probably benching him for Ryan but, could Ryan's #s be low too since they will run the ball all over SF and Julio will most likely be out?

I agree about Atlanta running all over SF, but Ryan is good for at least 1 or 2 TDs minimum still right? And Brady could struggle and throw no TDs or 1. I expect the Pats to run the ball as that is the one thing they can do against Denver. Denver game could be low scoring and SF game O/U is slated for 51.

[IMMensaMind 459]

Benching Brady for Rivers v.OAK.

Same. I don't think this is a tough decision at all.

[IGotWorms 3,315]

What about Flacco? He's been killing it fantasy-wise lately

[handbanana 47]

I'm starting Brady over Brees in one league.

[stonewall 647]

What about Flacco? He's been killing it fantasy-wise lately

 

Rain and high winds in Baltimore tomorrow, fwiw.

[gardenstatepkwy 5]

GOAT

 

This is whats holding me back. If I bench Brady and he goes off I feel like an idiot and i'm out of the playoffs. Cam put up 26 vs DEN, Rivers 22, Brees 32, and Alex Smith 20. Gotta think the floor here is around 20 points with a ceiling around 34.

 

On the flipside the last time Rivers played OAK he put up damn near 40.

 

I have a feeling i'll be doing a last minute stinker tinker. I've probably flopped Brady/Rivers 3 times at this point.

[The_Destroyer 0]

I am sticking with Brady as my only other viable alternative is Andrew Luck. I really wanted to pick up Matt Moore yesterday and should have. Not because he is Matt Moore but because he played the Jets!

 

I need to squeak out a win this week so I can relax and watch Brady destroy the Jets next Saturday.

[TimHauck 1,801]

What about Flacco? He's been killing it fantasy-wise lately

by lately so you mean 2 games?

[CornKobb 48]

of course I'm trying to find positive things on Brady since i am starting over Rivers....yikes.

 

I heard last time he was in Denver n Afc championship game Brady was hit 22 times in the game. His Offensive line is so much better than last year. Denver lost a few defensive players to free agency, had Linebackers banged up.

 

Im thinking with more time Brady has a good game. fingers crossed

[Beer Me Please 1]

I'm rolling with Brady... I certainly wish he had a better matchup, but, he didn't have the dreamiest matchup last week vs the Ravens and he did well.

 

My backups are Bortles and Siemian so that helped in my decision making.

[IGotWorms 3,315]

by lately so you mean 2 games?

Sure, if you add on another 4

 

Don't know about your league but he's the third highest scoring QB in my league over the last 6

[Mile High Magic 8]

It is friggin cold as hell -1 right now.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

Still completely in the air about Brady and Tyrod. Denver missing two starting LBs from a unit that can already be run on, that just begs for Blount to get a ton of carries.

 

Buffalo has higher winds and may be damp because of snow fall, even if it will stop before kickoff

[TimHauck 1,801]

He hasn't been bad, but of those other 4 he was pretty much only good in one.

[SpenceToons 70]

What about Flacco? He's been killing it fantasy-wise lately

 

I had come to the same conclusion and picked him up as an answer to the unfriendly trends and matchups that my own two QBs (not Brady) were facing.

 

And now......Grrrrrrr & double Grrrrrrrrr......there are 20 mph winds with gusts up to 30 forecast for Baltimore.

 

 

Edit: I see that stonewall was already on the case in regards to the weather.

[handbanana 47]

Eff it I dropped Stafford for A Smith, A Smith for Flacco and now I'm thinking about dropping Flacco for Bradford and just rolling with the guy in a dame against a bad defense.

[Captain Goomy Noomy Roo 47]

Capn' pushes stack to middle of the table.

 

I'm all in!

[Viking14 5]

Brady has not been the horse since losing TE. I benched him as I decided weeks ago for Ryan, now Ryan does not have Jones????

[plasma george 52]

Flacco is my other option, at home against the Eagles is nice.

Just don't know how Brady will do in a cold game.

Is it snowing there ?

[nospk 230]

!

[IGotWorms 3,315]

On edit: yes.

 

Guy doesn't even want to throw it today
