Rothman’s Fantasy Take’s Week 4:

With the Packers having played on Thursday night, I realize my excitement for Sunday’s games has diminished significantly. Also my family is in town to see the little one, so Im going with quick picks for the week:

Guys I like this week:

·        Deshaun Watson: Although the Texans have a fairly tough match up with the Tennessee D, they have been fairly lenient to quarterbacks. He’s low end TE1 today.

·        Chris Carson: At home versus a perennially weak D, and he has taken over at the starter. I like him as high end RB2.

·        Golden Tate: He won’t match up against Xavier Rhodes. Start him with confidence.

Guys that give me heartburn thinking about who to play:

·        Allen Hurns: Playing the Jets…and you should always play guys against the Jets right? But can he find some consistency?

·        Derrick Henry: Is he this year’s Tevin Coleman, in that he is start-able despite not being a starter? We shall find out!...but do you find out with or without him in your line up???

·        Carson Wentz: He is throwing more than just about everyone except Rodgers. That should equal production, but he is on the road against a decent Chargers secondary. Who would you start, him or Rivers?

Guys I don’t like:

·        Martavis Bryant: On the road, Big Ben and Bryant are different players. Ravens D is pissed off and at home. Risky start this week.

·        Bilal Powell: He is starting this week with Matt Forte out, but he might share carries with some guy I’ve never heard of…and the Jags D is legitimate.

·        Isaiah Crowell: I wanted no part of this guy on draft D. He is proving me right. Cinci D gets Burfict back today. Crowell is just a flex.

Shit I’m wondering:

·        Is Jared Cook a number 1 TE for the rest of the year?

·        Will the Giants and Eli keep feeding Sterling Sheppard in the slot? Did they find something that works for that awful offence? Sheppard a guy you might want to pick up, especially in PPR.

·        Why did the Lions not draft a RB this year? This team would be much better with a running game. They are the like the Packers but don’t have Rodgers.

Last week Round up:

Hits: J

ü  Raiders D was Awful

ü  DJax had a TD and a good game.

ü  Frank Gore put up good numbers as an RB2.

ü  Witten was a questionable start.

ü  Alshon Jeffery was just ok.

ü  Delanie Walker was held to just over 3 points.

ü  Terrance West not looking like a guy I want on my team.

Misses: L

• Ø  Drew Brees…had a great game! What was I thinking? Although he isn’t putting up too good of numbers today! Maybe I was just a week off.
• Ø  Jay Culter over Jamies Winston…dumb idea. #NeverCutler
• Ø  Golladay didn’t nothing, and hasn’t since week 1. And if you have just fyi he is injured.

Tip of the week:

§  Drafting extra RB’s is always a good idea. Look at the rosters your jealous of, they probably have a bunch of RB’s on their bench.
