Week 8: Sunday Morning Gametime
With Sunday
Kick-off just hours away, it’s never too early or too late to
look over the numbers that can help fantasy owners make the right call or at
least make a call and set their lineup. Injuries have played a huge role this
season and with players still nursing and others returning, pulling the trigger
on some can be scary.
This is
my week 8 (short) laundry list of relevant numbers to consider when you make
your decision to start or sit;
By the Numbers…
QB-Russell Wilson (Sea), in his last four starts
Wilson has completed 68 of 114 passes (59.6%) for 825 yards passing with five
touchdowns and two picks. Wilson has also added 269 yards rushing over the same
span and has scored at least 16 fantasy points in five straight games.
My Take: He’s a safe start with middle of the road numbers.
QB-Andy Dalton (Cin), in his past two starts has
passed for over 700 yards tossing six touchdowns with zero interceptions.
Dalton is completing 67.5% of his passes (50 of 74 passing) over the past two
weeks and has scored over 25 fantasy points in each of the last two games.
My Take: He’s on fire and needs to be played.
RB-Eddie Lacy (GB), the Packers running back has
totaled 301 yards on the ground in his past three starts averaging 4.4 yards
per tote. Lacy has one 100-yard game this season and nearly missed a second
back in week 5 when he ran for 99 yards. He has also scored in double-digit
fantasy points the past two weeks.
My Take: He’s a must play today, top 20 back today.
RB-Zac Stacy (STL), has ran for the ball for 210
yards in his last three starts averaging well over four yards per carry. Stacy
has 49 carries over the past three weeks (16 per game) and is averaging over 10
fantasy points per game during that time.
My Take: Yards will be tough, but he
should see a lot of work.
RB-Jacquiz Rodgers (ATL), has totaled 206 yards (91 yards
rushing/115 yards receiving) of offense in his past three games. Rodgers has
also scored four times (2 rushing/2 receiving) while adding 18 receptions on 19
targets. In his past two starts he’s scored over 35 fantasy points.
My Take: Jackson will take away some
of his touches, but Rodgers should stay involved as a low flex play.
WR-Demaryrius Thomas (DEN), his numbers aren’t off the charts, but he still producing modest numbers with 21 receptions
(30 targets) for 303 yards receiving, and three touchdowns in his last four
starts.
My Take:
Even with all of his weapons, Manning still looks to DT often enough for him to
be a weekly play. Be patient, he’ll bounce back.
TE-Jordan Reed (WAS), has quietly become a top 10
tight end. Reed has registered at least 5 receptions in each of his last three
games and over his past two he’s collected 13 balls for 192 yards
receiving with a score. His 298 yards receiving have him currently ranked 12th
among active tight ends.
My Take: A nice matchup today, Reed
should continue to roll with solid numbers.
That's
my take for Week 8.
