Reaction to Week 10: I didn’t watch any of this game. Was it any good? Let’s see how my predictions panned out. First of all, I said to bench all of the Panthers running backs. The best of the bunch proved to be Hubbard who had 23 yards rushing, 16 yards receiving, and no score. I was right to sit all of them. On the other side, I said to start their counterpart, D’Onta Foreman. He had 80 yards rushing, 12 yards receiving, and the only TD for either team in the game. I was right to start him. Finally, in a two-fer, I said to bench Young and start the Bears D. Young had 185 yards passing, 18 yards rushing, and no score, and the Bears D got the W, held the Panthers to 13 points, and had 3 sacks. I was right about both. Looky there. I was right about everything. A clean sweep.You’re welcome.
For week 11, we transition to a game that is more enticing to watch, possibly will have more fantasy relative stats, and will probably matter come the end of the season – Bengals at the Ravens. First of all, both teams are coming off losses – Cincy after almost coming back and Baltimore after blowing a lead. Drained with a short week, this could be a defensive game, even though both just gave up 30 or more this past week. So, with that being noted, I think both defenses are solid plays here, as well as both kickers, Tucker and McPherson. Outside of this, and your can’t bench no matter what regulars, I would also think a Baltimore running back, after Cincy just gave up 150 yards to Singletary this past week, could be in line to shine. Since Keaton Mitchell has the most likely chance to break it with any touch, why not assume something is true coming out of a Harbaugh and believe he will have even more touches this week; therefore, more chances to run and run and run, and also possibly be the only reason Gus Edwards doesn’t get a touchdown. So, start Mitchell and bench Edwards. The end.
