Sabo1974 7 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Could be raining during game time tomorrow. Have a feeling they might run it a bit more against the Jets. Benching in favor of Herbert. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Polluticorn 21 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) So he can beat the jets. Does that build confidence vs WFT and the Rams? Edited December 14, 2020 by Polluticorn 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That WTF DLine is going to feast and I believe he had his worst game of the season against the Rams the first time, correct? on the other hand...when Russ gets hot it kind of doesn't matter who he's going against. The question is "is this just lolJets or is it the start of another Russ streak?". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vendetta 528 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I think I feel OK about Russ next week, but I think Hurts could be in play as an alternative in week 16 if he does well again next week vs. AZ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nap Time 1,041 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I might bench Russ this week because I fear that the great Washington pass rush will overwhelm the Seattle OL. But there is an optimistic perspective: The Redskins played 5 good QBs this season: Kyler, Lamar, Goff, Stafford, Roethlisberger. All 5 had good or great fantasy games. The Redskins shut down the QB 8 times. All 8 were backups and slumping starters. Just within their division, they played 6 games against Carson Wentz / Andy Dalton / Daniel Jones. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MingusDew 407 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Can't bring myself to start someone like Hurts, Carr or Trubisky over Russ. That said I'm very concerned about the WFT pass rush. Hopefully he's riding high after demolishing the Jets and the confidence carries over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OmegaRed88 644 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 The alternatives are likely bad. But Washington D is playing lights out and Seattle has looked lost on offense most of the last 6 weeks. I’d say < 2td’s and the yardage to match this week. Probably a turnover or two as well. Washington isn’t a team to force a shootout either so their won’t be the opportunity for the points that come by that scenario either. Most likely is these teams trading stalled drives for much of the game. Hope I’m wrong! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guccimonster 35 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Play your best players and hope the redskins can score points with smith maybe shelfed, this isn’t about matchup based anything. Russ needs to be started as a top 5 qb every week, play your best players! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mainesoxfan 0 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Got Rivers on my bench with a juicy HOU matchup. Goff also on waivers. Still think I gotta roll with Russ but this one scares me some. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gmen07 170 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I would start Russ. He’s a top qb. The matchup isn’t great but it also isn’t awful. And he has DK! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yossarian 3,524 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Ultimately it comes down to whether or not that OLine can buy Wilson any time at all against the WTF front four, who have been dominant for a while now. If he CAN get some passes off WTF has been vulnerable in the secondary and those WRs could get some big gains. That's a mighty big "if" though. On top of that I just don't see WTF scoring many points so this won't be some boat race with the Seahawks scrambling to keep up and force it downfield. I could see this being like a 17-13 game with Wilson putting up 250ish and a TD with 3 or 4 sacks and a ton of hurries. He's been so good for most of the season and he might be emerging from his slump but it's a bad matchup for sure. It's also a west coast team coming east for a 1pm game. That's never helpful.

Yeah all of this is bad lol. Russ struggled against the Rams so much because of their pass rush. But what are you going to do. Sometimes you have to trust in the talent. The Jets game came at the perfect time and hopefully it was a get right game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dayvidhong 109 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 look at some of the QBs WFT played this season: daniel jones (twice), andy dalton (twice), joe burrow, and nick mullens. tbh those qb's are pretty sorry lol (burrows got a bright future tho), so WFT's defense is inflated in terms of QB fantasy production IMO. some other QBs WFT played this season: Kyler murray, lamar jax, goff, stafford, and big ben. Big ben scored the least out of those QBs with 25, but the other qb's of that list scored over 30 fantasy points. idk about you guys but russ and that offense is not like giants, cowboys, bengals, and 9ers. odds are good for russ this week. if WFT ends up stopping russ and the seahawks from dropping fantasy points for us, then hats off to them. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CletisVanDamme 334 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I've teetered back and forth on Russ and Goff so much my head is spinning. What bodes well for them is I think they will both get plenty of possessions and shots at some points. It goes without saying vs the Jets....... but in terms of vs WFT...with or without Alex Smith (especially without), I think Seattle D keeps them in good field position and forces a lot of 3 and outs/TO's. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm feeling a 1 TD game from Goff this week. I know everyone is talking about firing him up but this is going to be the Akers show and Goff isn't going to do much of anything. Week 16 is when Goff is interesting. I honestly think the WFT will keep this game competitive. My worry is that it will be the 14-9 kind of competitive rather than the 28-21 kind of competitive. It's more about whether Russ succumbs to the WFT pass rush. Edited December 16, 2020 by MingusDew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
