Matt in KC

I dropped Tate for Dan Herron last week (I have Shady and Karlos Williams). That said, I am thinking about reversing the swap this week since it looks like Shady os going to play and Tate got 18 targets last week (wow)! I think Martavis is going to be fantastic the rest of the year. I jut offered to trade Russel Wilson for him to a team that has only Stafford at QB.

The strange thing this year has been that players missing games seemed like they would be able to play the next week. I didn't think the following were knocked out at the end of the previous game: Karlos, Tyrod, Aaron, Miller (was questionable to return to the Miami game) and even McCoy, though less-so since he basically didn't play the 4th quarter.

Yikes! He is a huge part of the defense!

This makes sense. Bryce is a good 4th RB for a team.

Goodwin clearly popped up with the ball. The rule says they can't be over the line: Official Rule Book for 2015: http://uaasnfl.blob.core.windows.net/live/1807/2015_nfl_rule_book_final.pdf

Goodwin is going to get his shot today. Any predictions on how many catches and yards? I will guess 3 catches on 4-5 targets for 65 yards and a TD.

It is shocking, I'm sure.

Oh go stick you tongue in an outlet!

That was a very nice article. I am glad he indicated what happened with Whaley. In my mind, that was him saying "water under the bridge" and showing he understood how the business side worked. It also highlights Fred's determination. Part of me thinks he could have willed himself to play through a hamstring injury and make the team, if that is what it would have taken.

He could be a healthy scratch. That has nothing to do with the injury report.

QB controversy in Indi??

Right. An insightful poster on here (I can't remember his name; something like Crayon Box?) posted an analysis a couple years ago showing how it actually helps the Bills get in the playoffs to lose to NFC opponents.

I think that means he isn't rushing back.

In my opinion, the defense is trying to be too clever. Our front 4 can beat the opponent if they just line up and blast at the snap. This year, on a very high percentage of snaps it looks like the defense isn't completely set, like they are disguising what they are doing at the expense of being ready to explode at the snap.

Carpenter has missed a total of two FGs this season, one of which was 54 yards in a blowout win (against the Dolphins). He is a bit hurt, and has a young baby in the house. The Bills needs to support him and stick by him, unless the wheels completely come off. I think he will be fine in the long run.

So, it sounds like Arian Foster is playing and Lynch might actually sit out. Who do you think will post better numbers this week, Foster, or Thomas Rawls? I could see either of them getting just a partial workload....

I know. all the FF advice I have seen says to play him. I just feel like Joe Haden is going to shut him down. Haden was hurt and the Browns gave up a ton of yards in last week's game. He sounds healthy and determined going into this week's game against the Chargers where Allen is the clear #1 WR. And it looks like 3 of the Chargers' starting O-line will be out....

Pass to Woods across the middle for 7 yards

I am on the fence. I have a number of midling WRs: Maclin Harvin Pierre Garcon Keenan Allen Golden Tate I am starting Clay at TE, K Williams, and Bills defense, so that is keeping me from starting Harvin. Right now I am leaning toward starting Maclin and Garcon. The league is .5 PPR. Everyone has Keenan Allen ranked higher, but I just don't see him putting up good numbers against Joe Haden this week.

I am playing Murray. The aggregate ranking site I consult has him listed as the #6 RB this week against a weak Bears team. http://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/rankings/rb.php

I would choose Clay. Especially with Sammy questionable, he should be a focus. I would have said the same. I assume you played Bell?

In a survivor league, I'm not sure that helps you. . . .

Pick made. Thanks for the heads up. I is nice to be alive again.
