FANTASY PLAYS: SEEK MATCHUPS VS. PACKERS, PATRIOTS, BROWNS

The trying times for constructing fantasy lineups appear to be over: most of your better players should be available in Week 12.

Of course, injuries and tough individual matchups always make it a challenge to set the ideal lineup. And with the fantasy playoffs getting closer, there seems to be more pressure surrounding every move.

Don't go crazy second-guessing yourself. Your first instinct when making a tight decision is often your better one.



TARGETING GB DEFENSE

The Packers defense has allowed 40 points in consecutive games and over 30 in its last four. Injuries at linebacker and in the secondary have made the Green Bay defense into a weekly unit to target for fantasy purposes. Philadelphia lacks notable playmakers at wide receiver, but the Pack allows 28.4 fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers, the most in the league. Jordan Matthews has been a disappointment this year but is a must-start this week.

 Dorial Green-Beckham scored last week and can be used in larger leagues. Wendell Smallwood could get a lot of work at running back this week and deserves strong flex consideration. He is versatile and the Eagles may move the ball very well against the Packers, ensuring he gets enough significant work as both a runner and receiver. Smallwood might play an expanded role in the Philadelphia backfield this week because of injuries. Read more...

NEW ENGLAND HOSTS SEATTLE IN SUNDAY NIGHT SUPER BOWL REMATCH

The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will meet Sunday night for the first time since Malcolm Butler intercepted Russell Wilson to seal Super Bowl 49 for the Patriots.

This time the two will face off in Foxborough where the Patriots have been rolling, coming off back-to-back wins against the Steelers and the Bills. The Seahawks have been a little shaky on offense this season, but are also coming off a big win against Rex Ryan and his crew.

Seattle’s offense simply put has been bad this season. So bad that we can mention it in the same breath as San Francisco or Los Angeles and within 20 yards a game of those teams. The offense has gone much of the way as Russell Wilson has. While completing almost 66% of his passes, he has thrown for 1,812 yards and just five touchdowns. In the team’s first season without Marshawn Lynch, they manage an anemic 75.4 yards a game on the ground.


Defense remains the bread winner for the Seahawks, ranking eighth in the league in total defense while holding opponents to just 16.8 points per game. While the secondary remains strong as ever, the defensive line has stepped up as well with defensive end Cliff Avril ranking third in the league in sacks. Read more....

FANTASY PLAYS: A HEALTHY RUSSELL WILSON; FADING BAD DEFENSES

Setting an optimal lineup for Week 10 is once again a true challenge, with many key players unavailable on byes and fantasy teams jostling for postseason berths.

A few of the hurdles you'll face this week:

SEATTLE WITH A HEALTHY WILSON
Russell Wilson looked healthier on Monday night against Buffalo, which meant he was able to move around more and out of the pocket and seemed to have no limitations throwing downfield. Jimmy Graham had two one-handed TD receptions, but the Patriots might limit his upside and can use cornerback Malcolm Butler on wideout Doug Baldwin. That opens up opportunities for Tyler Lockett, who finally started looking healthier last week, and versatile rookie C.J. Prosise, who could be the most-utilized Seahawks running back this week. Lockett is a bold and possibly very productive streamer, and Prosise is worth some serious point-per-reception consideration as a flex option or fill-in.



KELLEY RUNNING FOR WASHINGTON
Rob Kelley is expected to be the lead running back for Washington again this week, and while Minnesota has allowed only 15.5 fantasy points per game to the running back position according to FantasyPros.com, the Vikings have become more vulnerable to the run recently. Theo Riddick rushed for 70 yards on just 14 carries last week against Minnesota and rookie Jordan Howard had a career-high 153 yards against the Vikes the week before. Kelley is in line for volume and as a TD finisher for a team that likes to throw the ball. He is at least a viable flex play for Week 10. Read more...

VIKINGS OC TURNER RESIGNS

The Minnesota Vikings will be seeing a change within their coaching staff.

Offensive coordinator and longtime NFL coach Norv Turner resigned from his position effective Wednesday with the Vikings. The resignation comes on the heels of Minnesota’s Monday night loss to the Chicago Bears, their second straight.

The resignation comes as a surprise to head coach Mike Zimmer and told ESPN’s Ed Werder that “I think it’s just we have different views on where the offense was going.”


Norv Turner released a statement on his resignation:
“I have tremendous respect for Mike Zimmer, our coaching staff and our players and at this time I think it is in the best interest of the team to step down. I thank the Wilf family for my time here in Minnesota and want to see our players and coaches achieve success.” Read more....

FALCONS TRYING TO AVOID DROPPING SECOND GAME TO BUCS THIS SEASON

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers looked as if they were going to turn around their 2015 season woes after a big win in week one against the Falcons. Then they dropped three straight games and since have won two of their last three. If the Bucs can win against the Falcons in this Thursday Night Football matchup it could put them just a half game behind the Falcons for the division lead.

The Bucs and Saints have been the best of the NFC South over the past few weeks combining for a record of 7-2 and now they'll both try to catch a game on the Falcons.


​The Falcons have dropped two of their last three after starting the season 4-1 and looking like one of the best teams in the NFL. They received a big win last week against the Packers, but over the past few seasons the Falcons have not been able to play an entire season at a high level.

The season is now reaching the breaking point for the Falcons, where they'd usually fall apart in the second half of a season.  Read more...
