Week 12 Recap!

Welcome Back Josh Gordon

Reports were that Josh Gordon was going to be on a limited snap count (around 30-40 snaps, only). 16 targets, 8 catches, and 120 yards later? NAHHHHHH. Welcome back, Flash Gordon.

Congratulations TY Hilton

T.Y. Hilton’s daughter was born Sunday morning at about 7:30 am. He spent the morning with her, showed up to the stadium late (past noon) for a 1pm kickoff. But he had a legitimate excuse… and then made up for his tardiness with 4 catches for 122 yards and a touchdown, all dedicated to his newborn daughter.

They named her Eugenia Emma Hilton, and they’re going to call her GG... D'awww....

Odell Beckham Jr.

You’ve heard it. You’ve seen it. Odell Beckham Jr. is a glorious freak of nature, and a WR1 the rest of the way. HERE IT IS AGAIN.

Latavius Murray

Going into to the Chiefs/Raiders game, the Chiefs were cocky. They hadn’t given up a rushing TD all season, and what rushers did the 0-10 Raiders have anyways? What’s that? Latavius Murray? 112 yards for 2 rushing touchdowns? On FOUR carries? Hello, sailor.

The Inadequacy Bowl – Chi/TB

This game could not have been more entertaining, but in a “Three Stooges” kind of way as opposed to a “Good Football” kind of way. Seriously… both teams looked completely horrible. Here’s a quick rundown of back-to-back fails: McCown pick (Bears to 10 yd line) followed by Cutler strip-sack (Bucs TD) followed by Mike Evans taunting call (Bears short field) followed by missed Robbie Gould field goal. WRETCHED.

Jonas Gray Sits/Blount benefits

Funny story: the game after he appears on the cover of Sports Illustrated, Jonas Gray is benched for oversleeping his alarm. Blount benefits and explodes for two TDs in his first game back with the Pats. The irony: Blount was released by the Steelers for his off-field issues, then gets a chance to shine because of someone else’s off-field issues. Here’s to you Blount, you opportunist man.

 

Lovie Smith calls out Bucs’ O-Line

“A defense can tee off on you once you can’t run the football,” said Smith. We saw Doug Martin again this week, which shows you how the Bucs are doing. I guess they’re going to have to rely on Josh McCown… to which all Bucs fans are saying:

Apparently, Failure IS An Option

I’m going to tell you a story about a league that is more intense than yours, and the maddening consequences of playing in that league.

The EGGGUGGHH League (so named after a phrase[?] sound[?] that one of the league members makes) is a 10-team dynasty league with oodles of bench spots. The waiver wire is picked clean, and your team lives and dies by the obscure rookies you pick up for the following year. It’s like the real NFL (except with sillier names, fewer teams, and a better commissioner).

This particular story is a fantastically horrible one. Just like in the real NFL, your team does not do well unless you select the right quarterback. Now, each team in this league is deep, so they carry multiple quarterbacks. As you can imagine, this makes it difficult to choose between them based on matchup and quarterback quality. This is especially true when a team carries four mediocre quarterbacks. But even a broken clock is right twice a day, right? There’s no way you’d pick the wrong quarterback every week.

Wrong. This is the story of Neil.

Neil carries four quarterbacks on his team – Matthew Stafford, Nick Foles, Derek Carr, and Joe Flacco. He has carried all four of these quarterbacks across the entire year, and has had to choose between them every week. Now, if Neil was any good at fantasy football he would naturally pick the top quarterback (or the second best, perhaps?) each week and lead his team to fantasy success. And you know, Neil may be good at fantasy football… but he just has the worst luck. Here’s how his decisions have played out so far.

Neil’s choices for each week are in bold, and the quarterbacks are listed by the amount of points they scored that week.

           

               As you can see, Neil has literally never chosen the right quarterback. Even when his choices have been limited (injury, bye week – or both in the case of Week 11) he manages to be utterly wrong. In fact, 7 out of 11 weeks, Neil has chosen the WORST option 64% of the time. It has cost him 183.52 points in fantasy potential, averaging 16.68 points PER GAME. That’s an actual game changer.

                Neil, here’s our 2 cents:

                1) WHY ARE YOU ROSTERING 4 QUARTERBACKS. Trade at LEAST one away. I understand that your league is deep. But you’re holding onto Derek Carr and Joe Flacco. And quite frankly, Foles may be done in Philly... so you know he’s never returning to the heyday he had in 2013.

                2) Play the matchups, but also consider who each QB has to throw to. Flacco has the Smiths, Stafford has Megatron and Golden Tate, Nick Foles is out, and Derek Carr has… whoever is catching passes in Oakland these days. 

Thanks to J. Myers for telling me about this.

Week 11 - Trade Deadline Approaches

The fantasy trade deadline is approaching (tomorrow for ESPN, Friday for Yahoo!). You've got players on your team you want to sell. You see players you want to buy. But should you? Do you want to risk breaking up a good team?

Yes. If you're bound for the playoffs, it may be time to liquidate your best assets to get some value plays for the end of the season. It doesn't matter if your guy gets you "just a few points, but he'll do better next week." This is the playoffs. You need the guy who will dominate for four weeks straight, even if he hasn't done squat all season.

Here's who I think will get you there, and who I think won't. At the bottom, I've listed some examples of trades as well. Good luck.

Buy!

QB: Tom Brady (GB, SD, Mia, NYJ, Buf)

Patriots always end the year playing hard – they win, win, win down the back stretch. Besides Miami, you’re not worried about any of these matchups.

QB: Drew Brees (Pit, Car, Chi, Atl, TB)

Look at these matchups. LOOK AT THEM. They’re insanely favorable to Breesy.

WR: T.Y. Hilton (Wsh, Cle, Hou, Dal, Ten)
T.Y. Hilton owners may be down on him right now. It’s a more expensive trade, but he’s turned into a surprise stud this year. And he has Andrew Luck throwing to him.

WR: DeAndre Hopkins (Ten, Jac, Indy, Bal, Jac)
He plays Jacksonville twice and is clearly the number one receiving option on this team. He’ll explode in your playoffs.

WR: Kelvin Benjamin (Min, NO, TB, Cle, Atl)
Benjamin is Cam Newton’s favorite target, and they’ll be feeding him non-stop to make it to the playoffs.

RB: Le’Veon Bell (NO, Cin, Atl, KC, Cin)

Bell will come with a huge price tag. But he’s a stud. They released Blount, so the job’s all Bell’s. And he will SUCCEED. Look at that schedule.

RB: Arian Foster (Ten, Jac, Ind, Bal, Jac)

See DeAndre Hopkins. He plays Jacksonville twice, and you saw what Jonas Gray did to Indy this past weekend. Alfred Blue is a must-own though.

RB: LeSean McCoy (Dal, Sea, Dal, Wsh, NYG)

He’s getting fed, and the only matchup here that worries you is Seattle. But seriously, what is Philly gonna do but try to stay in the playoff hunt? They have good divisional matchups down the stretch.

TE: Larry Donnell (Jac, Ten, Wsh, StL, Phi)

Jacksonville, Washington, Philly. I’m not saying he has another 3TD game… but he might.

TE: Delanie Walker (Hou, NYG, NYJ, Jac, Ind)
Walker just produces when he’s healthy. He’ll be out of the concussion protocol soon, and all of his matchups give points to TE’s. Besides him, Tennessee is a fantasy wasteland.

Sell!

QB: Russell Wilson (SF, Phi, SF, Ari, StL)

The only reason he’s even on your radar is because he gets you points with his legs. Do you really want to rely on Russell Wilson’s legs to win your championship?

QB: Peyton Manning (KC, Buf, SD, Cin, Oak)
Ok, this is not crazy. He’s got banged up receivers and he’s got tough matchups. You can probably get really good value for him too.

WR: Brandon Marshall (Det, Dal, NO, Det, Min)

It’s been a tough year for Brandon Marshall owners, and it will not get easier in the fantasy playoff season. He sees Detroit twice.

WR: Mike Evans (Cin, Det, Car, GB, NO)
This is less about matchup and more about the monster week he just had. He’s a legit WR2, but you may be able to get better value for him RIGHT NOW.

WR: Michael Crabtree (Sea, Oak, Sea, SD, Ari)
Don’t be fooled by the touchdown. If you still have Crabtree in a 12 team league then a) You’re an idiot, and B) sell him now. His schedule sucks. He sucks for fantasy.

RB: Matt Forte (Det, Dal, NO, Det, Min)

Are you sensing a theme of “I’m down on the Bears”? Again, he sees Detroit twice and you can’t have that. The other matchups don’t scare you, but Forte is great trade material anyway. Sell.

RB: Andre Ellington (Atl, KC, StL, Sea, SF)
KC, Seattle, and SF. He’s been good all year, but you need to sell him before the deadline. Get value, move on.

RB: Marshawn Lynch (SF, Phi, SF, Ari, StL)

He’s banged up, and his schedule stinks. Seattle is a running team, but they’re going to be grinding it out during the stretch. Lynch is not a lock to stay healthy or to score.

TE: Martellus Bennett (Det, Dal, NO, Det, Min)
Started the year hot, but what has he done for you lately? Another Bear who you need to sell.

TE: Antonio Gates (Bal, NE, Den, SF, KC)
He’s a great TE, and a future Hall of Famer. But Philip Rivers has cooled off and so have the Chargers receivers. Sell.

Examples!

Team A is your Team. Team B is their team. All of the following trades would be good for a playoff-bound Team A, and you can likely get them.

Team A receives Drew Brees/LeVeon Bell, Team B receives Peyton Manning/Andre Ellington.
Team A receives DeAndre Hopkins/ Delanie Walker/LeSean McCoy, Team B receives Matt Forte/Antonio Gates.
Team A receives Arian Foster/Alfred Blue, Team B receives Russell Wilson/Mike Evans.

Week 11 Recap

Here's some recap from this weekend to keep you going.

Montee Ball’s groin re-injury, Hillman out, It's the CJ ANDERSON SHOW

Montee Ball left Sunday’s game after re-aggravating his groin injury. With Hillman now expected to be out longer than originally anticipated, this has officially become the C.J. Anderson show, featuring TD vulture Juwan Thompson. Welcome to… the Replacements.

Mike Evans exploded.

Seriously. 7 catches 209 yards and 2 TDs. Just to put that in perspective: The Redskins receivers (including WR, RB, and TE) put together only had 207 yards and 1 TD. 209 receiving yards and 2 TDs is more receiving yards and touchdowns than the entirety of the Redskins offense was able to generate. EVANS SMASH.

Rams have now defeated both of last year’s Super Bowl teams

Despite being 4-6 and 4^th in the NFC West, the Rams have now beaten both teams from last year’s Super Bowl. I bet the Seahawks and Broncos are not happy about that… but hey, they’re still the Rams.

Brady throws picks, Gray explodes

Brady had a shaky start to the Pats/Colts matchup last night, but it was OK because Jonas Gray shredded the Colts run defense to the tune of 38 attempts for 199 yards and 4 touchdowns. Gray singlehandedly stopped the Pats from getting down in the game, and stopped Brady’s slide into mediocrity.

Philly Brown catches a TD – helping NO ONE

Philly Brown plays for the Carolina Panthers. Philly Brown caught a 47-yard touchdown pass Sunday. Philly Brown is owned in exactly >.1% of fantasy leagues. Because the Panthers lost the game, Philly Brown’s touchdown helped literally no one on Sunday.

JJ Watt has more receiving TDs than Chief’s receiving corps

JJ Watt – 2 receiving touchdowns this year. Chiefs receiving corps – 0 touchdowns this year. Enough said.

Josh Gordon back this week – world will go nuts

Just a friendly reminder – Josh Gordon is coming back this week… and he will be incredible. Grab him if he’s not owned (he probably is). Josh Gordon is great. Unless he happens to get in a car with Adrian Peterson and they both somehow get into a car accident/marijuana incident/domestic abuse incident.

Ben Tate Released – clarifying nothing (Part 1)

From Free Agent Gold to Free Agent Disaster, in only 11 weeks. Some of you may think this paves the way for Isaiah Crowell, some of you may think this paves the way for Terrance West. Therein lies the problem – there are still two backs in Cleveland and neither is the clear favorite. Bye Ben Tate, Hellooooo Little Rascals.

Adrian Peterson resuspended – clarifying nothing (Part 2)

Adrian Peterson was informed on Tuesday that the NFL has suspended him for the remainder of the 2014-2015 season, and that he is eligible to rejoin the Vikings in April 2015. Those of you who stashed him, feel free to drop him… but the NFLPA has appealed the suspension. So maybe he plays, maybe he doesn’t, but either way you may need the roster space more than the question. But in the end… we really know nothing.

Week 11 Waiver Picking.

Holy crap, it's Week 11.

At this point, you have some clarity about whether or not you're going to make your fantasy playoffs. Hopefully, you're either in or in contention. If not, you're trying to keep your nemesis from making them. There aren't as many teams on bye this week, so I expect you have someone to fill in. However, if you need a spot start, check out these folks.

QUARTERBACKS

Robert Griffin III (vs. Tampa Bay)

Great matchup here, and RGIII has to prove he’s the starting option for Washington still. His return was spoiled by a loss, and he’s had all of his bye week to think about it. I think he has a gameplan to destroy the awful Bucs this week.

Mark Sanchez (@ Green Bay)

Looked excellent in this offense in primetime – almost didn’t look like the Sanchez of old. He’s still nervous to throw outside the numbers, but I think Chip Kelly’s system could turn even Sanchez into a top-12 fantasy QB. Good test for him this week, and I think he’s up to it.

Josh McCown (@Washington)\

On the other side from RGIII, I think McCown has a good day against Washington’s terrible secondary. While the Washington defense has shown flashes of excellence, I think McCown is good for a couple of touchdowns here.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Jordan Mathews (@ Green Bay)

He had his coming out party on Monday Night Football, and I expect his production to continue. He’s ahead of Cooper, and has good chemistry with Sanchez. He’s a WR2/high end flex the rest of the way.

Jerricho Cotchery (vs. Atlanta)

Cam Newton did not look good Monday, but he still can pass. At home versus Atlanta I expect him to spread the ball around beyond just Benjamin. Cotchery will get some catches against Atlanta’s secondary.

Jarvis Landry (vs. Buffalo)

He’s a good complement to Mike Wallace, and tends to get open fairly often. With the RB situation in flux, I expect Miami to throw the ball a lot. Landry will get the rock more than Hartline, and is a good add this week.

RUNNING BACKS

Ryan Mathews (vs Oakland)

San Diego is going to be desperate to put points on the board after being shut out last time they took the field. Oakland is bad. Ryan Mathews is finally back and healthy. You do the math… I’m not concerned about the other SD running backs.

DeAngelo Williams (vs Atlanta)

Again, I expect Carolina to actually do well against Atlanta. Williams looked pretty good against Philly, and I think he’ll do well again against Atlanta. What do you expect Carolina to do – let Cam Newton run it?

Montee Ball/CJ Anderson (@ St. Louis)

One of these guys will emerge as the lead while Hillman is down (not Thompson, never Thompson). Montee Ball lost weight and apparently looks good in practice, better than he was before. He wants the starting gig back. But Anderson produced well last week. No matter who is the back in Denver, they’ll produce. But who is the back in Denver?

TIGHT ENDS

Mychal Rivera (@ San Diego)

This guy is legit, and Derek Carr likes to throw to him. With Andre Holmes putting up spotty production and DMC not producing like we want him to – I think Rivera is the only usable fantasy option in the Oakland fantasy wasteland.

Kyle Rudolph (@ Chicago)

Coming back from groin surgery, this guy is set up to excel. He was a preseason favorite who was injured early on. He’s likely available in your league, so get him. I think he does well the rest of the year.

Jared Cook (vs Denver)

Denver lets tight ends score, and Jared Cook scores. Do the math. He’s put up solid production in the second half of the season so far, and I expect that to continue. He’s in the TE 8-12 range for the rest of the season.

Week 10 Weekend Recap

Monday night game hasn't happened yet. But here's some recap from this weekend to keep you going.

Antonio Brown Disappoints…

…but has Tennessee next week. Big Ben loves him, and he just had a bad day. Fantasy owners should be looking forward to his matchup/bounce back against the Titans. Like this:

Matt Ryan Sucks

In case you needed a wake-up call, Matt Ryan sucks. After a hot start to the year, he’s been barely usable the past 5 games and couldn’t get it done against the Bucs. The Bucs are TERRIBLE. Drop him in a standard 10-team.

Calvin Johnson Is Back

No one was surprised that Matthew Stafford went right back to feeding his favorite receiver. Golden Tate continued to produce, but that won’t continue. Sell high on Tate while you can. Johnson does this:

Carson Palmer Out

Carson Palmer enjoyed his shiny, new $50 million dollar contract for less than 72 hours. He went down in the 4^th quarter yesterday, tearing his ACL. He said he knew he had torn it immediately and that he knew his season was over. He was 13-2 in his last 15 starts and looked to take the Cardinals to the Super Bowl… which Arizona is hosting this year. However, he has $20 million guaranteed in his contract, so I guess he better start getting ready for next year. 

Former Cal RB’s: Lynch, Forsett, Anderson

What do C.J. Anderson, Justin Forsett, and Marshawn Lynch have in common? They all went to Cal, and they all were in the top 3 RB scores this week (before Monday’s game, that is). Money Lynch is back.

Vick Performed

Well, Mike Vick won his first start in forever. And it was an upset against the Steelers… impressive. He looks good in this offense. Of course, anyone looks better than Geno Smith. You could do better than Geno Smith.

Lions RBs

You don’t want to start any of these guys. Theo Riddick had 3 touches, Reggie Bush had 4 touches, and Joique Bell had 12… none of those have RB1 volume, and Bell barely has RB2 value. And against Arizona next week? NOPE.

Chiefs WR’s TD Drought

The Chiefs WR corps has officially gone 12 regular-season games without a touchdown. That is all you need to know about whether or not you should own one of them, much less start one. If you do, Sansa says

DeMarco Murray loses a touchdown to Wembley’s Turf

Forget helmet hair, DeMarco had to come off the field because of turf stuck in his helmet. While he was off, Joseph Randle scampered in for a TD. GAH. Murray was on the sideline watching Randle take his touchdown like:

Bronco’s RBs

Denver’s backfield is crowded, and Coach Fox has said he’s going to go with whoever’s not injured. With Montee Ball coming back, CJ Anderson healthy, and Ronnie Hillman day-to-day, who can you trust here? NO ONE. It’s a revolving door.

All-Star vs All-Misfit, Week 9

Here's a good story.

I was going to be in just three fantasy leagues this year. I had been in four last year, but I thought I'd scale it back this year and focus on dynasty leagues. That was, until my good friend Sean told me he had two spots open in his fantasy league and asked me if I could join. It was an 8-team league, so it was low pressure. He asked me if I could find another person,and I said I would. The draft was the same night he asked me, so time was short... I asked my girlfriend.

Let me explain. I love playing fantasy, and during fantasy season I think about it a lot. I thought that by giving my girlfriend her own team, she would get an appreciation for something I enjoyed. Ok, now back to the story:

She agreed. The league was full. The draft was that night. I'd already explained a little bit of how to draft, but I made her a cheat sheet based on the league's scoring and we went to draft. She handled her own drafting, occasionally asking me whether I had an opinion about Player A or Player B. But she did the whole thing herself.

Fast forward to Week 9. She's beaten me twice, and is leading the league with a record of 7-2. She definitely got an appreciation for fantasy football, and also for kicking all of us to the curb. It just goes to show: Everyone can love fantasy football.

The All-Star team contains the top players from each position in terms of Average Draft Positions. For instance, Peyton Manning was the first quarterback off of most boards this year. Therefore, he’s the weekly All-Star QB. If the All-Star player has a bye, I go to the next person at that position by ADP (when Manning is out, I go to Aaron Rodgers, the second QB off the board). The All-Misfit team contains the players that nobody expected to score, but hit paydirt. This team will change drastically week-to-week, as no player can be on it consecutive weeks.

The scoring is ESPN standard, and the team format is: QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, D/ST, K.

Without further ado, here is your Week 8 All-Star team!

QB: Peyton Manning – 21 points
RB: LeSean McCoy – 11 points
RB: Jamaal Charles - 14 points
WR: Dez Bryant - 7 points
WR: Demaryius Thomas – 12 points
TE: Jimmy Graham - 14 points
D/ST: Seahawks - 15 points
K: Stephen Gostkowski – 15 points

Total: 109 points

McCoy had a good game here, and he's going to have an excellent second half. His O-Line is getting better. Peyton proved he's going to score, no matter what. Dez Bryant's lack of production was tied to Weeden being his quarterback - he's not a good play this week... but Calvin Johnson will be back so the All-Star team will be ok. Other than that, there's not much to see here.

Here’s the All-Misfit team!

QB: Mark Sanchez - 12 points
RB: Matt Asiata - 25 points
RB: Chris Polk - 11 points
WR: Taylor Gabriel - 14 points
WR: Rishard Matthews - 8 points
TE: Mychal Rivera - 15 points
D/ST: Rams - 17 points
K: Caleb Sturgis - 12 points

Total: 114 points

Sanchez is good in this offense... he probably stays here all year. Asiata is a huge drain for McKinnon owners, but he's not going away any time soon. But Adrian Peterson may come back.... Chris Polk is McCoy's handcuff, not Darren Sproles. Sproles has a unique role in that offense. Who the hell is Taylor Gabriel? And Mychal Rivera is a good plug-and-play streamer this week.

VICTORY: Misfits! 114-109. Close this week.

Overall: Misfits lead 4-1-1.

Week 10 Waiver Picking

Another terrible bye week... but not as bad as last week. This week, we have the Texans, Colts, Vikings, Patriots, Chargers, and Redskins gone. Good luck.

QUARTERBACKS

Mark Sanchez (vs. Carolina)

Chip Kelly’s offense is a plug-and-play offense for QBs. Any QB could go in and make fantasy music. The music may be clunky, but it’s good for double-digit points every week. Foles is out for a bit with a broken collarbone, and Sanchez is good to take you through another rough bye week. Interesting note: Many observers thought that Sanchez looked better than Foles in the preseason, but Foles kept the job because of his success last year.

Carson Palmer (vs. St. Louis)

Carson Palmer is 5-0 in games he’s played in this year. He’s also thrown 2 TD’s in each. I like him for the rest of the year, and he’s got good weapons to throw too. You can add and start him.

Ryan Tennehill (@ Detroit)

This matchup scares me, because Detroit has a great defense. But in another slim week, I’d say Tannehill is one of the best options that may still be available. He’s been very productive this year, and he’s always keeping defenses honest with his designed runs and scrambles.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Martavis Bryant (@ NYJ)

For all of Pittsburgh’s faults, they know how to cultivate WR’s. This kid is a huge part of the reason Big Ben has thrown for 12 touchdowns over the last two weeks. He’s getting more playing time and is a great complement to Antonio Brown’s insane athletic ability. He just makes opposing defenses look goofy. The Jet’s secondary already looks goofy, so Bryant will make them look like children.

Justin Hunter (@ Baltimore)

Baltimore is 30^th against the pass, and Hunter has incredible talent. I think he finds the endzone in a matchup that is closer than most people expect.

Jerricho Cotchery (@ Philadelphia)

Great matchup for a great talent, and they can’t throw everything to Olsen and Benjamin. Philadelphia’s offense is explosive, so Carolina will have to throw a lot to stay in this.

RUNNING BACKS

Bobby Rainey (@ Atlanta)

I like Rainey as long as Sims and Martin are inactive. As soon as either one of them comes back, his stock goes down (I do love Sim’s potential). But this is a great matchup, Rainey is running hot, and his hands are soft. Even if either Sims or Martin comes back this week, Rainey will likely lead the backfield in touches.

Terrance West (@ Cincinnati)

Another committee that you don’t want to rely on. Knowing the Browns, Crowell will have 30 touches and Tate will throw a touchdown this coming week. But if you HAVE to pick up a RB this week (and you might, the waiver is bare) then grab West. Ben Tate is bad, and Crowell had no touches this past week.

Adrian Peterson (BYE)

NOTE: THIS IS ONLY IF YOU’VE GOT THE ROSTER SPACE TO BURN (and this is a week where you probably don’t have it). Peterson is taking a plea deal in his child abuse case and having it reduced to a misdemeanor (in exchange for probation, some community service, and a fine). He still faces potential discipline from the NFL, but the Vikings would welcome him back if he’s able. I’d say he’s got a 50% chance of helping you in your fantasy playoffs.

TIGHT ENDS

Heath Miller (@NYJ)

I told you, I love this big guy. He’s productive and gets open, and he’s a physical beast. Love the matchup too… and Big Ben’s on fire. FIRE IS CATCHING.

Owen Daniels (vs. Ten)

Came back this past week, looked good, and has a great matchup with Tennessee. In a productive offense, I’d start Daniels. He’s good for a touchdown against the Titans.

Scott Chandler (vs. Kansas City)

This week sucks for pickups. Chandler has a chance to score. And that’s all I got for you here. Sorry.
