Thursday Night Football Preview

              Thursday Night Football Preview

    Ohh how I long for weeks of yore. When Thursday Night Football didn't exist. Not only does this game feature two of the worst teams in football but all the startable fantasy options are really "fringey". I'm sure you know by now I'm not a fan of making fantasy lineup decisions on a Thurs night. However, I'll do my best as to provide spots where I'm comfortable starting these players. 

RB2: Devonta Freeman, Boston Scott I think both RBs offer some low end RB2 value here. I'm not crazy about either one but the landscape of startable RBs is pretty desolate. I'm not excited to start either of these guys but if it's 10-15 points you're looking for they can probably get you there. 

WR3: Greg Ward, Travis Fulgham I'm not sure Fulgham would warrant shadow coverage from Bradberry. If there's word of that happening I'd be off Flugham completely. Ward lining up in the slot offers a sneaky play here albeit with a limited upside due to the nature of this game. 

Defense: NYG & Philly Both of these Defenses are inside my top 12. Philly being the better option. NY can def rack up points if they can get philly into a negative games script. 

   I'm not starting either QB here. There's way better options to be had later in the week. Same goes for both TEs. Engram hasn't gotten it done all year and now and Sterling Shepard is back to take targets away. As for Slayton you can roll him out if you're desperate as a WR 4/Flex but he'll likely see Slay in coverage and I want no part of that matchup. Another desperate play is Richard Rodgers at TE. It's an ok bet for a TD but I'm not comfortable with it at all. 

    That's all for this week's TNF preview!! Hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to hit me up on twitter @Chris_Cianci with any questions. Enjoy the game tonight.

Taking advantage of your IR slot

Image
   Due to Covid-19 the league made a few changes. They changed IR designation to just 3 weeks to give teams more flexibility with thier rosters. Fantasy Football as a community properly reacted as well. Yahoo defaulted to 2 IR slots per team and fantasy commissioners might have even added more to your league.      IR slots were always common in dynasty leagues but players in dynasty formats are already savvy enough to navigate and use them properly. Now that IR spots have become the norm in redraft I've noticed a some gross misuse of them by casual managers or not using them at all. If you haven't been using your IR slots this blog will give you a marked advantage moving forward.          I've noticed casual managers with guys like Blake Jarwin and Marlon Mack in their IR slot... IN REDRAFT!!!   Honestly the competitive side of me loves to see it. That tells me that they have no idea what it's for. I mean... What are yo...

10 Moves To Make Before Your Trade Deadline

  10 Moves To Make Before Your Trade Deadline   1) Buy Miles Sanders If you can get Sanders for a combination of a WR2 + RB2/Flex I'd go for the upgrade. The Eagles offense is getting healthy all at once and the matchups for Sanders moving forward are favorable. The upgrade in total offense for the Eagles gives Miles a decent shot at a TD or 2 every week. 2) Buy Derrick Henry If you are lined up to make your playoffs do whatever you can to get Derrick Henry. He will be expensive but his playoff schedule is just fantastic. JAX, DET, GB. It doesn't get much better than that. If your trade deadline is a little later you can actually wait a week or two (he has a few rough matchups upcoming) then shoot your shot. He's a league winner for a playoff bound team. 3) Buy Kareem Hunt This is a buy low. He's not going to be valued any lower than he is now. With Chubb coming back and Hunt not exactly capitalizing on the feature back opportunity he was afforded the past f...
