WEEK 9 QB’S

Tom Brady- Brady should be the top scoring QB this week.  This is NOT a great week for QB’s, and in situations like this, there are really only a few safe ways to go, Brady, Rivers, Big Ben.  On paper, this matchup is NOT as easy as The Miami game last week.  The Skins only give up 232 YPG and have given up 11 passing TD’s.  Washington is worse VS the run averaging 128 YPG but only 4 TD’s.  I think Brady will throw 3 or 4 TD’s, but will be held to around 300-320 yards.  I like pairing him up with Lewis this week after seeing what Doug Martin and Devonta Freeman has done to this squad in the past couple weeks.   The lack of rushing TD’s makes me like Gronk as well.  On paper, The Skins have been pretty good against opposing TE’s, but Its Gronk and Brady, at home.  Don’t over think it.  As always, Edelman is as solid as a WR you can possibly roll with.

 

Phillip Rivers-  Monday night football, Prime Time, at home, Rivers will light up the Bears D.  The Bears have given up 16 passing TD’s this year and only 2 rushing TD’s.  Melvin Gordon doesn’t even factor in the equation anymore.  The Chargers will score, and it will be through the air.  I LOVE Malcolm Floyd this week especially since Allen is done for the season.  Stevie Johnson is cheap and should get over 7 targets.  Watch the status of Gates, but I like Green regardless if Gates is a go.  My only concern is a BLOW OUT factor (The Pats game could be the same)  If The Chargers are up by 27 points in the 3^rd quarter, they might just start juicing the clock and keeping the ball on the ground.  If they can keep it close, Rivers COULD out-produce Brady this week.    The Rivers/ Floyd/ Green stack is A LOT cheaper than Brady/Gronk/ Edelman !!!

 

Dave Carr-  You gotta throw ONE lottery ticket in there, why not Carr?  Carr had a very productive game against SD two weeks ago and DESTROYED The Jets throwing for 333 Yards and 4 TD’s with no picks (If you say You saw that one coming, you are a “Liar”)  Pittsburgh is in the bottom 3^rd for pass defense, and can be scored on.  I don’t trust Lat Murray, so I think Carr is going to throw in this game.  I also expect Pittsburgh to score, so we are talking a possible shoot out or throwing 40 times because they are playing from behind.  Carr/ Crabtree/ Cooper is my SNEAKY STACK of Week 9.
