Did you see the shocking, worrisome, but thrilling information lately? In keeping with Selection, Paramount is trying to remake the Nineteen Eighties-Nineteen Nineties comedy traditional “The Bare Gun,” they usually’re chasing Liam Neeson for the lead position.
Now that might make for some slapstick enjoyable. Wouldn’t it's nice to study the “Taken” actor has a really specific set of comedic abilities? As robust as he's, can he step up into the sneakers of the late, iconic Leslie Nielsen? Wouldn’t that be a wierd flip of occasions, if the sudden “new man” can rekindle the magic higher than most anticipate?
That's basically the scenario through which Dolphins backup quarterback Skylar Thompson finds himself this week — with concussions ruling out starter Tua Tagovailoa and placing No. 2 Teddy Bridgewater within the protocol and destined to be both out on the bench this week.
So what are the possibilities the Dolphins may have offensive success behind Thompson — particularly after final week didn’t prove so effectively? It may appear as if the Dolphins have a 50/50 likelihood of success, however solely a ten % likelihood of that. May utilizing Dolphins in you fantasy lineup who're counting on a third-string QB provide you with that Drano feeling? Positive, huge names may really feel like your filling out your roster, however their manufacturing may go away you feeling hole inside.
At the least that's the whiplash, emotional response the Madman — and others, we presume — will get. However maybe, by the tip of the day, Thompson may have an Enrico Pallazzo second — when fantasy followers are chanting his identify.
In any case, are you actually going to really feel snug sitting Tyreek Hill or Jaylen Waddle? Is that a manner on your fantasy workforce to die? No! A parachute not opening, getting caught within the gears of a mix, having your bits bit off by a Laplander, that’s the best way we wanna go!
Benching Hill or Waddle. No thanks. And never simply on a whim. One thing tells us we’re into one thing good. And most of it has to do with the Vikings’ protection.
First, they've allowed a landing cross in each recreation besides the opener. They usually haven’t confronted prolific passers — Week 1 Aaron Rodgers has grow to be a horror story, Jared Goff, Andy Dalton, Justin Fields. But regardless of this weak opposition, Minnesota is permitting barely greater than common to opposing fantasy QBs every week. So we expect Thompson can do at the least OK.
And if he's OK, then we’re not as afraid of others who rely upon him. He ought to take sufficient consideration off the bottom recreation to let Raheem Motert money in on a unit that ranks within the backside third of the league versus fantasy RBs and has given up 5 RB scores in as many video games —and at the least 17 PPR factors to fantasy RBs every week.
Plus, if Thompson does OK, so ought to Hill and Waddle, and OK for gamers that good means we’re OK utilizing them in our lineups.
You are taking an opportunity each morning crossing the road or sticking your face in a fan. Why not take an opportunity on Thompson?
Large Weeks
Kirk Cousins QB, Vikings, at Dolphins (FanDuel $7,600/DraftKings $6,000)
Miami gave up eight passing TDs to QBs within the first 4 video games and is giving up almost seven extra fantasy factors per week than the league common to opposing QBs. And also you get 1 o’clock Kirk!
Kareem Hunt RB, Browns vs. Patriots (FD $6,000/DK $5,700)
Regardless of the Pats’ post-Tom Brady dip, we nonetheless concern Invoice Belichick shutting down the opposition’s high participant, which for Cleveland is Nick Chubb. If the sport plan is for defenders to rally to the ball, one cut-back by shiftier change-of-pace possibility Hunt may result in a giant rating.
Chris Godwin WR, Buccaneers, at Steelers (FD $6,800/DK $6,100)
We’re desperate to get a completely wholesome Godwin, however Pittsburgh is giving up almost 16 PPR factors greater than league common vs. WRs. So higher well being, even when not one hundred pc, needs to be a lot to take advantage of this unit.
Tyler Boyd WR, Bengals, at Saints (FD $6,000/DK $5,100)
Even when Tee Higgins (ankle) performs, he possible might be lower than one hundred pc. Anticipate Boyd to be Cincinnati’s No. 2 passing goal this week.
Small Weaks
Najee Harris RB, Steelers, vs. Buccaneers (FD $6,200/DK $6,000)
Our early season fears of his reported Lisfranc concern have ebbed considerably. Now, it's the basic state if disarray of the offense that's most regarding. Don’t anticipate that to get solved in opposition to a stiff Bucs run protection.
Miles Sanders RB, Eagles, vs. Cowboys (FD $7,600/DK $6,200)
Assuming the Eagles put up factors in opposition to a powerful Dallas protection, it most certainly will come from huge performs within the air assault, relatively than Sanders and the bottom recreation.
Keenan Allen WR, Chargers, vs. Broncos (FD $7,000/DK $6,600)
This may take some nerve, however you won't know Allen’s hamstring standing for Monday in time to ensure you might have a fill-in if he sits. And even when he does play, hammys can prohibit explosiveness, and Denver has given up only one TD catch to a WR all season.
Kyle Pitts TE, Falcons, vs. 49ers (FD $5,500/DK $4,200)
Additionally coping with hamstring harm, if he performs will face a Niners workforce but to yield a TD to tight ends. Pitts hasn’t been excellent anyway (6.3 PPR common).
