Reaction to Week 9: First of all, you are welcome Steelers fans. By me saying Harris should be benched, he got 69 yards rushing and a TD. I was wrong to sit him, and the fantasy gods stay consistent in the world of jinx and double jinx. With that out of the way, let’s get to me being right. I said to start Diontae Johnson. With 90 yards receiving and his 1st TD since it seems like Kindergarten, I was right to start him. While he looked pretty good, I was still right, fantasy-wise, to sit Levis. He had 262 yards passing, a pick and a TD. Decent, but not fantasy good enough.
Week 10 moves us from Pittsburgh to Chicago where the Bears will host the Panthers. Thrilling match-up right? Um, no. I digress. Let me start with the ground games. The Panthers have Sanders and Hubbard and neither one is getting much more action than the other. Neither one is grade A prime meat. I say to sit both of them. On the other side, D’Onta Foreman has produced making him grade A minus, or something like that. Considering this, and the fact the Panthers are at, nor near the bottom of the league in ypc and rushing TDs allowed. Feel free to start him. The Bears pass D has been a bottom team against the pass so far this year, but Bryce Young has been, well, icky. So, is this his breakout game, or is this a game the Bears pass D actually looks good. Stats say to start Young, but I need him to prove it somewhere else. I say to keep Young on your bench, if you have him, and to actually start the Bears D against him and the Panthers.
