Another week, another win for the TBD TBD. While Julius Thomas put up a zero, and the Houston Texans’ Defense/Special Teams Unit posted a paltry -3 points, the rest of the team performed well.
Despite two interceptions, Andrew Luck accounted for 23 points. Marshawn Lynch and Todd Gurley combined for 45 points while John Brown and Donte Moncrief put up a cumulative 21 points. Lastly, in what is likely his final game of the season (more on that later).
While their scoring output didn’t help the final score, the bench played its part as well. Zach Ertz turned in another respectable game, while Blake Bortles and Martavis Bryant both eclipsed double digits.
Week Eight Preview and Picks
With both Thomas and Ertz on bye weeks, a streaming tight end will be needed. Larry Donnell faces a fairly cushy matchup against the New Orleans Saints while Jordan Cameron could see a number of extra targets should the Miami Dolphins fall behind early against the New England Patriots. Eric Ebron could find pay-dirt for the second consecutive week as he faces the Kansas City Chiefs. Should Thomas or Ebron be cut to make way for this new tight end?
Lineup Decisions
With Foster out, the team will need a new FLEX, who should start there? Joseph Randle is questionable to play against a tough Seattle Seahawks defense while Randall Cobb faces an equally challenging matchup with the Denver Broncos. With Dion Lewis uncertain to play, Bryant and Giovani Bernard round out the list of FLEX options.
Ultimately, you decide how the team is run, so put on your GM hat and send me your ideas on Twitter (@BenRosener / @knowhitter272) or in the comments.
