With just below three minutes to play, the Steelers’ Aaron Rodgers related on a 68-yard TD cross to TE Pat Freiermuth to take the lead over Cincinnati. Then, in a second greatest described as enthusiastic poor judgment, the Steelers’ huge offensive sort out Broderick Jones leapt onto the 41-year-old Rodgers’ again and introduced him to the turf like a rag doll. Rodgers, two years faraway from a season-ending Achilles damage, was understandably livid. Broderick, realizing he’d simply flattened the franchise, supplied a hand. Rodgers declined with a slap.
For all you 0-7 or 1-6 Fantasy groups on the market, it most likely seems like Broderick jumped in your again, too. In case your fortunes don’t enhance, I like to recommend livid commerce exercise. If that fails, attempt a chiropractor.
GIDDY UP!
QB Joe Flacco vs. Jets — With six groups on a bye, you would possibly want a fast repair at QB. Enter Flacco, the Combating Blue Hen, Delaware’s reward to skilled soccer and selective reminiscence. Recent off a mauling of the Steelers (342 yards, 3 TDs), he will probably be a headache for a Jets’ crew that is perhaps with out their greatest CB, Sauce Gardner, with a concussion.
QB Aaron Rodgers vs. Packers — Inexperienced Bay has allowed two or extra TD passes three video games in a row. In a “revenge game” of types for Rodgers, he is aware of the one approach to rating on the Cheeseheads is thru the air. Pencil him in for 225 yards and two TDs. If he’s feeling nostalgic (or nonetheless mad), perhaps he throws a 3rd.
RB James Cook dinner at Panthers — In Buffalo, the query echoing louder than “What happened to our Super Bowl window?” has been, “Why isn’t Cook getting more touches?” That oversight will probably be rectified because the Payments let James prepare dinner in Carolina.
RB Jonathan Taylor vs. Titans — I do know you’re beginning Taylor; I’m solely bringing him up so you’ll be able to chill out in case your bye-week QB is subpar. In Taylor’s final two video games towards the Titans, he scored 36 and 46 fantasy factors. Tennessee has given up a dashing TD in each recreation this season.
WR Rashee Rice vs. Commanders — The Nice Wall of China is held along with rice paste. Rice is the glue that holds the Chiefs’ WR corps collectively. He led the crew in targets (10) and TDs (2) final week in his return from suspension. Run, don’t wok to get him in your lineup.
WR Zay Flowers vs. Bears — Zay hasn’t scored since Week 1 in Buffalo. Hopefully with QB Lamar Jackson again from a hamstring damage, Flowers will bloom once more in the long run zone towards the Bears.
TE Kyle Pitts vs. Dolphins — Miami seemed like they needed to be wherever however soggy, windy Cleveland final week, dropping 31-6. Will the Fins rise to the event and save Mike McDaniel’s job, or will they make Pitts homeowners blissful by permitting their ordinary six receptions per recreation to TEs?
WHOA DOWN!
QB Andy Dalton vs. Payments — One other bye-week fill-in chance, in case you are a loopy particular person. Idle final week, the Payments will probably be rested and livid after their two-game swoon and can take it out on the 37-year-old Dalton, forcing a number of errors.
QB Cam Ward at Colts — The “Game Warden” remains to be attempting to find fantasy relevance. He can’t camouflage that he solely has 4 TD passes this 12 months. A match towards Indy won’t get him out of the woods on Sunday.
RB Rhamondre Stevenson vs. Browns — Rhamondre the Large has taken over at RB for the Pats, however towards the Browns, that’s like being first in line to board the Titanic. Cleveland has but to yield a 100-yard rusher and has given up a cool three TDs on the bottom.
RB Isiah Pacheco vs. Commanders — Too many mouths to feed in Kansas Metropolis’s backfield and Pacheco is final in line on the buffet. In passing conditions (i.e., most of them), he’s on the sideline.
WR Jerry Jeudy at Patriots — It’s not Jeudy’s fault he’s having a awful season. Dillon Gabriel retains throwing the ball within the filth. Gabriel has two TD passes in 4 profession begins, neither of which went to Jeudy.
WR Kendrick Bourne at Texans — After using mansions of glory in Weeks 5-6, Kendrick is finished steppin’ out over the road. You gotta get out whilst you’re younger. ‘Trigger tramps like us, child we have been Bourne to run.
TE Isaiah Possible vs. Bears — If a tree falls within the forest and nobody is round to listen to it, does it make a sound? Likewise, if Possible returns from damage two video games in the past and catches solely two passes, did anybody discover?
