Looking for a little advice...
Got a hard one to decide...
Need two of these three
J. Gordon
Julio Jones
Emmanuel Sanders
Standard scoring
Also Indy D or Minnesota D
Thanks in advance
Yes, Julio Jones just popped off, but that was going against a consistently overrated Patrick Peterson who has given up 21 TDs since 2012, more than double Revis and Sherman. Peterson is not deserving of the hype and has a shitty PFF grade to boot (has hovered in the 90's all year). I think Jones will do ok vs Sam Shields but keep in mind that Shields is in the top 30 CBs, and GB has now moved into the top 10 in graded Pass Rush (#9) with a +7.1 against NE last week. Also, Green Bay's main weakness is stopping the run so ATL may try to capitalize on that. Additionally, it's going to be around 30 degrees and Matt Ryan sucks outside his comfy dome. This could very well be a trap game at Lambeau and I expect Green Bay to win. If they go up big, then there could be garbage time potential for Julio.
For Josh Gordon, one thing to monitor is Vontae Davis who is in concussion protocol right now. If Davis is out, then Gordon has a tasty matchup despite the fact that the Browns could switch QBs on him mid-game. If Davis plays, then it's a downgraded matchup but the rest of Indy's coverage sucks outside of safety Mike Adams.
Emmanuel Sanders will be facing Buffalo's best cover back (Corey Graham), who has only given up 16 fantasy points on the year. However, the Bills are somewhat stout against the run so Peyton could throw more. Sanders is pretty much matchup-proof and been successful against good defenses like Seattle, SF, St.L, and Miami, with the most targets (24) coming in the 0-9yard over the middle which could happen a lot due to Buffalo's good pass rush.
So all in all, I like Gordon and Sanders slightly over Jones who has a tough game on the road. Keep in mind Jones has been shut down on the road three times this year against MN (82 yds), Baltimore (56 yds), and Carolina (59 yds). His best game on the road was 88 yds and a TD which is still "meh". In contrast, Sanders' worst game at home? 77 yards. Small sample sizes but the difference between Sanders' worst game (77) and Julio's best (88/1) is close enough for me to give Sanders the nod. BTW I would also monitor the weather at Lambeau because there is 50% snow predicted for early Monday... if that front moves in early, then Jones is solid Do Not Start.
For DST, Minn vs NYJ is a no brainer, I'll be starting them in one league.
