Thursday Morning Edition
Thursday’s
Twitter Takes
There's nothing like pumpkin pie, turkey, and NFL football on Thanksgiving. That's what I am thankful for and hopefully everyone is enjoying this great day with family, friends, and fellow fantasy football fans. Today's slate brings us three games and plenty of football to chew on along with lots of side dish treats. Happy Thanksgiving to all and let's get this day started!
Is it Heat check time for the Vikings
quarterback Case Keenum? by @FantsySprtsHome
The Vikings quarterback Case Keenum is the
No.20 fantasy QB and on the rise. In his last three starts Keenum is averaging
over 290 yards passing, completing better than 68 percent of his passes with 7
touchdowns. He’s playing well, but faces a tough road challenge against a Lions
defense that allows the 13th fewest yards to opposing quarterbacks.
Don’t trust the Lions running game, All-in
with quarterback Matt Stafford today! by @FantsySprtsHome
The Lions running game is ranked 28th in
the league averaging just under 81 yards per game and less than 3.5 yards per
carry and the Vikings are the number two defense against the run. There’s
little chance these teams buck this trend, so expect a lot of quarterback
Matthew Stafford today to the tune of 40 plus passes.
The Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen is
just stealin in 2017! by @FantsySprtsHome
Quite simply, the Vikings have another big
time threat in the passing game besides wide receiver Stefon Diggs, his Wonder
Twin Adam Thielen. Thielen is the No.3 fantasy WR in PPR, he’s posted the 62
receptions (tied for 5th) with 916 yards receiving (2nd in the league). Thielen
has arrived in 2017 and he’s a legit WR1.
Latavius Murray looking for a big
Thanksgiving dinner to follow a big Turkey day with a 100-yard rushing game!
#Boldprediction by @FantsySprtsHome
The Lions defense is ranked 18th against
the run and allow 4.4 yards per carry. In a road matchup where ball control and
down and distance matter, Murray could see one of his busier days in the
neighborhood of 20 carries. I like Murray to hit the century mark against a
defense that’s allowed 313 rushing yards the past two weeks.
It’s may be The House That Jerry built,
but today will be the Melvin & Keenan Show! by @FantsySprtsHome
In the last two weeks the Cowboys defense
has surrendered 311 rushing yards to opposing running backs, along with 3
touchdowns to opposing wide receivers. The Chargers Melvin Gordon and Keenan
Allen could find great success against a reeling Cowboys team today.
Captain Kirk (Cousins) is ready to steady
his ship and direct the Washington Enterprise toward a post-season berth. by
@FantsySprtsHome
Through 11 weeks, Cousins is now the No.5
fantasy QB; he is seriously balling right now. In his last two starts he’s
thrown for 649 yards, with 6 total touchdowns, just one pick, and a completion
percentage of 62. Cousins is doing all he can to carry his team and make an
argument that he is a Franchise QB. He’ll make another great case tonight
against the G-men.
That's My Take.
