JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Here's the situation - it's the last week before the playoffs. I'm on a 6 game winning streak and am now in 4th place but I'm facing the #1 team (also on a 6 week streak) which scored 188 points last week. The team I beat last week is 1 game behind me and is playing an abandoned team. We split the season series but if I lose this week I will probably be in the consolation bracket. So I have to win this week. Torn on Brees vs Tyrod. Taylor has been on fire, scoring 26-plus fantasy points in each of his last 2 games against very good KC and Houston defenses. The Philly D has given up more points to QBs than any other team in the last 4 weeks Meanwhile the Saints are playing on the road against Tampa Bay. Brees is averaging just 12.61 PPG in 5 road games played this year. His only bad home outing was also against Tampa Bay, getting only 12.1 points. NFL.com's projection has Brees at 22.54 and Tyrod at 12.02... Leaning toward Tyrod. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB3 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 NFL.com's projections are garbage. Granted, a lot of projections are but theirs are awful. They projected Davante Adams to have 12.9 points in my league for 9 straight weeks, including the weeks he was injured. I'd go TT. Brees has had too many bad weeks and TT has a much higher upside when it comes to rushing yards and TD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) I am just finding out the Ingram might be out with a season ending shoulder injury. It's Spiller and Hightower there now. Might hurt Brees a little. I'd go with Tyrod though. The way they have been abused through the error is crazy. Most points to wide receivers according to one league. I am starting Sammy Watkins with confidence! Edited December 9, 2015 by What a Tuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalton is a great play, but I really think Tyrod is gonna go off this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 TT I traded Brees for TT earlier this year apart from that 7 TD game, Brees has been average at best CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Well... I lost by 20 (curse you OBJ!), but the good news is that the person right behind me lost also (due to Andy Dalton's injury) so I backed into the playoffs. My running backs really suck now that I lost LeVeon Bell and Dion Lewis. My RBs now are Javorius Allen, Antonio Andrews, Shaun Draughn, Shane Vereen and Bilal Powell. All but Vereen have been picked up off the waiver wire in the last 4 weeks. *fingers crossed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
