A sh** day in Cleveland
The New York Jets halloween costume - Nov 1
ITS SUNDAAAAAY. Let’s go! We’re finally at the best day of the Week. Time to make those last-minute roster changes that f*** up your lineup leaving you to regret the decision for the rest of the week. Or is that just me?
Now, our Morning Huddle:
Rushing stats for the rushing stars
League leaders in rushing yards after contact per attempt: Dalvin Cook, Derrick Henry, and Chris Carson, with 3.5 yards after contact, every time they rush. You can’t take these guys down.
Antonio Gibson has forced a missed tackle on 26% of his rushes. Is he the most explosive rookie RB?
Michael Thomas & DeVante Parker: shots fired
Ahh ok. Maybe those tweets aren’t real. Still though, they had some great offseason IG battles.
Surprise surprise, Cleveland will be brutal on Sunday
The beautiful city of Cleveland is anticipating horrible weather forecasts: heavy wind (30+MPH), rain, etc. But coach Kevin Stefanski shrugs it off, saying “our guys are like mailmen… they’ll play anywhere.”
Should mean heavy volume for Kareem Hunt; Downgrade Baker & the Browns passing gang. Also should be difficult for Derek Carr to hook up with his WRs, especially deep threat Ruggs.
You can read how wind affects games here.
Actual surprise, Allen Robinson is suiting up Sunday.
Huge addition for the Bears as they go up against the Saints; their stud WR cleared concussion protocol and is expected to play today. This is a stock up for Nick Foles, but a slight downgrade for the talented Darnell Mooney.
In other return news: Tevin Coleman was activated for the 49ers and expected to play. Downgrade JaMychal Hasty and McKinnon. Coleman should receive around 10 touches in his first game back.
College football doesn’t matter for fantasy football
But this highlight is so sick I had to include it:
Players OUT Sunday: By Adam Shefter
Players out Sunday include Michael Thomas, Marquez Callaway, Aaron Jones, Joe Mixon, Julian Edelman, N’Keal Harry, Stephon Gilmore, Jamison Crowder, Breshad Perriman, Sammy Watkins, Mitchell Schwartz, Deebo Samuel, Jeff Wilson, Andy Dalton, Miles Sanders, Devonta Freeman, and Alshon Jeffery.
Carson Wentz stock trending up
Most of you will be surprised to learn that Wentz has been 4th highest scoring fantasy football QB over the past four weeks. That was essentially without any of his expected starting WRs and o-line studs. This week, Jalen Raegor, Dallas Goedert, Jason Peters, and Lane Johnson return.
And Wentz is taking on the Cowboys joke of a defense. FIRE HIM UP
