The Buffalo Payments’ all-white “Cold Front” uniforms are the worst factor to come back out of Buffalo because the man that put ketchup on wings. A Josh Allen model retailed for $189 earlier than the gorgeous 23-20 loss to the Patriots. Immediately, it may be had for $3 and a ham sandwich. These uniforms are clearly cursed: The Payments scored their fewest first-half factors in two years. Their 14-game dwelling win streak? Over. Their NFL-record 26 straight video games with out dropping the turnover battle? Gone. Matt Milano, their defensive MVP? Tweaked his torn pec. And simply to twist the knife, former Payments malcontent Stefon Diggs had 10 catches for 146 yards.
I tweeted at halftime that the Payments ought to set these uniforms on hearth at midfield. Higher but, shoot them into the solar.
GIDDY UP!
QB Jayden Daniels vs. Bears — Daniels was efficient however not spectacular final week towards a stiff Chargers cross protection (231 yards, 1 TD). The sledding will probably be a lot simpler towards the Bears and their twenty eighth ranked cross protection, establishing Daniels for his finest totals of the season. This one could possibly be enjoyable.
QB Matthew Stafford at Ravens — Bear in mind when fantasy house owners would keep away from beginning gamers towards the dreaded Ravens’ D? These days have gone the way in which of the buggy whip and rotary telephones. Trot out Stafford towards a Ravens secondary that surrenders 270 yards and nearly three TDs every week to QBs.
RB Ashton Jeanty vs. Titans — Hopefully you adopted my recommendation and prevented Jeanty final week (67 dashing yards). However you may hop again on the Jeanty bandwagon and benefit from the journey as he tears by means of the wafer-thin Tennessee run protection.
RB Quinshon Judkins at Steelers — Beginning a Browns RB is like shopping for sushi at a gasoline station — dangerous with an opportunity of remorse. However the two-toned-tressed RB grew to become simply the fourth RB to log over 110 yards towards the Vikings since Week 9 in 2023. He’ll get that a lot and extra towards Pittsburgh.
WR Emeka Egbuka vs. 49ers — Who wants Mike Evans and Chris Godwin while you’ve obtained Egbuka slicing and dicing by means of secondaries each week? The stellar rookie averages 116 yards and a TD per sport. Peek-a Boo-Ka will probably be a sight to see towards the 49ers.
WR Marvin Harrison Jr. at Colts — In between occasional drops, Harrison has achieved nicely sufficient to take a seat simply exterior the Prime 20 WRs in fantasy scoring. He’ll maintain on to sufficient footballs that can assist you win this weekend towards his Corridor of Fame father’s outdated crew.
TE Jake Ferguson at Panthers — Fergy is the No. 1 TE in fantasy. And the Panthers don’t appear to trouble protecting tight ends. It’s sufficient of a mismatch to make Carolina blue.
WHOA DOWN!
QB Jared Goff at Chiefs — Goff has extra ups and downs than the Coney Island Cyclone: 15 factors one week, 47 the subsequent. On the street the place Goff struggles, in Arrowhead, towards a surging Chiefs D? The outcomes would possibly make you throw up. Let another person journey this curler coaster.
QB Daniel Jones vs. Cardinals — If the resurgent Jones doesn’t rating a dashing TD, he’s not a Prime 20 QB. The Playing cards have but to surrender a dashing TD to a sign caller in 2024 and solely gave up three since Week 4 of final yr. Begin Danny by yourself dime. He’s on my bench.
RB Derrick Henry vs. Rams — King Henry had 169 dashing yards in Week 1. Within the subsequent 4 video games, he’s had 148 mixed. One thing stinks in Baltimore, and it’s not coming from the Internal Harbor. The stench is coming from the 50-yard line of M&T Financial institution Stadium in downtown Baltimore.
RB Kenneth Walker III at Jaguars — Zach Charbonnet clearly has bare footage of the Seahawks’ teaching workers. How else are you able to clarify why the inferior Charbonnet (132 yards, 2.8 yards per carry) consistently out-touches Walker (330 yards, 4.8)? Bench Walker. Keep away from the torment.
WR Calvin Ridley at Raiders — Is Ridley (131 yards) again? Not so quick. His 10 targets had been essentially the most he’s had all yr as a result of the Titans had been in catch-up mode within the second half vs. the Playing cards. The Titans-Raiders sport will probably be a plodding, low-scoring affair. Let Ridley excel once more earlier than you chase the factors.
WR Jameson Williams at Chiefs — A disappointing “Giddy Up” final week, the Lions’ Williams performs extra like Nala than Simba. Whichever Disney cub you like, I can’t really feel the love tonight.
TE Dalton Kincaid at Falcons — Kincaid is the No. 2 TE in fantasy, however he faces a lights-out Falcon squad that has allowed simply eight receptions to TEs on the season. Mood your expectations.
Thursday Evening Particular: Rookie Jaxson Dart has performed admirably. However after dropping to the lowly Saints, it’s sensible to recollect these are the identical outdated Giants, with an over-matched coach with an under-manned roster. Philly cruises in a laugher. Eagles 28, Giants 14
