Thursday Evening Edition
Thursday’s
Twitter Takes
If you are playing DFS this week, both
quarterbacks Jared Goff (Rams) and Brian Hoyer (Niners) are to be avoided.
While neither faces a dominant defense tonight, we’ve not see enough
consistency from either to pull the trigger.

tonight” - by @FantsySprtsHome
Rams running back Todd Gurley has looked
like a pretty good fantasy pick through two weeks. If you’ve invested in his
fantasy stock this season, feel confident with his potential gains tonight
against the Niners run defense that’s allowed the 9th most rushing yards this
season.

night. He’ll get the work in to put up numbers.” by @FantsySprtsHome
Niners Carlos Hyde is a Thursday favorite
and strong play tonight. The Rams run defense was decimated a week ago and
ranks last against running backs, allowing a staggering 295 yards rushing in
two games. Hyde ranks as the No.12 fantasy running back in PPR; look out Top-10
and Dr. Jekyll, here comes Hyde.

defense (ranked 30th), here comes Hyde! by @FantsySprtsHome
The only pass catchers I am endorsing
tonight, are (Niners) Pierre Garcon and (Rams) Cooper Kupp. Both are highly
risky plays and regardless of salary value, I would avoid in DFS. Both could be
considered as long shot flex options in larger leagues and only because both
will see a fair share of targets in their respective passing game.

looking for fliers, Watkins, Kupp & Garcon are the only with any value” by

The Rams wide receiver Sammy Watkins is an
exceptional big play talent that the team will hope to exploit soon.
Unfortunately right now Watkins is like a ticking bomb counting down;
eventually the clock is going to hit zero and he’ll explode. The only problem
for fantasy owners, we just don’t know when. Playing him right now is an
unnecessary risk, so exercise patience.
“Watkins ready to explode? Who knows.
Owners must be patient and sit him for now” by @FantsySprtsHome
All in all I expect tonight’s matchup to
be worthy of the long historical rivalry between these two franchises and while
it certainly doesn’t shape up to be, I would not be surprised with a higher
scoring contest than what is being advertised.
All plays are risky, especially on those
on the short week (Thursday night), but remember both teams are now under
offensive minded regimes.
Go Shanahan and McVay.
That’s My Take.
