My Buffalo Soldiers might be taking part in for a tenth crown within the OFFL in opposition to the Catamounts, run by my brother-in-law, Billy C. The recreation will little question come all the way down to the Cincinnati-Buffalo recreation on Monday evening as Billy has Joe Burrows whereas I counter with Josh Allen. The winner will get a customized champ T-shirt emblazoned with their workforce emblem. Billy has promised a pocket tee for the OFFL this 12 months. Good luck. As we have a look at our Giddy Ups! and Whoa Downs! for the Week 17 Fantasy Playoffs, make certain to verify the NFL harm experiences earlier than submitting your lineups.
GIDDY UP!
Josh Allen, QB — The Bengals boast the seventh greatest move protection, however that rating was achieved dealing with lesser QBs Cooper Rush, Marcus Mariota, Jacoby Brissett, Mitch Tribusky, P.J. Walker and Joe Flacco simply to call a couple of. Josh is preventing for a first-round bye, and he’ll rise to the event.
Justin Fields, QB — If you one way or the other survived Field’s implosion final week to advance in your playoffs, don’t be afraid to roll him out once more. He shredded Detroit for 48 Fantasy factors in Week 10. The Lions should not have a solution for Fields. Giddy up!
Saquon Barkley, RB — The Colts have given up 10 TDs to RBs within the final 4 weeks. At residence and nonetheless battling for a playoff spot, Barkley will add to the Colts’ woes whereas including to your championship hopes.
Jerick McKinnon, RB — Every 12 months a stunning RB leads groups to Fantasy glory. Who can overlook C.J. Anderson’s 299 yards and two TDs within the final two video games of 2018? This 12 months it’s McKinnon. He has over 80 Fantasy factors his final three video games and faces the Broncos who simply made Cam Akers (118 yards, 3 TDs) appear like Eric Dickerson.
Stefon Diggs, WR — Diggs has 10 catches in his final three video games and no TDs in a month. But the Monday evening highlight might be on him as he finds a number of holes within the Bengals protection on his method to considered one of his greatest video games of the 12 months.
Garrett Wilson, WR — It’s enjoyable to observe Wilson play receiver. He’s all the time open. This week the Jets will begin a QB that may get him the ball. Mike White is on the helm, so fireplace up Wilson.
Evan Engram, TE — Engram is on fireplace, with 26 receptions for 337 yards and a pair of TDs his final three video games. The Texans have been taking part in good soccer of late, however they are often had by an honest tight finish like Engram.
WHOA DOWN!
Aaron Rodgers, QB — Rodgers will not be the gunslinging QB we’ve come to like. He’s simply sixteenth in QB factors scored and has but to throw for 300 yards. The Vikings are usually not a robust protection, however Rodgers will most certainly get his 240 yards and two TDs.
Trevor Lawrence, QB — The Texans are a perplexing foe for Lawrence. In his final two outings they’ve held him and not using a TD. I do know he’s been nice this 12 months, however this smells like a entice recreation to me.
Devin Singletary, RB — You can’t run on the Bengals, and I don’t anticipate the Bills to even attempt. In the final month, Cincinnati has held Derrick Henry, Rhamondre Stevenson and Nick Chubb to below 38 yards.
Kenneth Walker III, RB — Walker remains to be hampered by a sprained ankle. The Jets might be in a foul temper in Seattle after crashing versus Jacksonville final week. At greatest, Walker may get 60 yards dashing and 20 receiving.
DeAndre Hopkins, WR — Players on the sidelines caught extra footballs focused for Hopkins final week than Hopkins. Backup Trace McSorley sorely missed Hopkins time and time once more, connecting as soon as on 10 targets.
Amari Cooper, WR — Cooper has had one first rate outing since Week 11, and his numbers have solely worsened since Deshaun Watson took over. He’ll be fortunate to get 5 receptions for 70 yards at Washington this week.
Tyler Higbee, TE — His level outburst in opposition to Denver apart, Higbee is a dangerous begin vs. the Chargers. Other than Travis Kelce’s three TDs in Week 11, they’ve given up one different TD to a decent finish the complete 12 months.
