With Newton shut down, I had to pick up Lamar Jackson...


So, do I start Jackson vs Chargers or do I start Dak vs Bucs?

I have Lamar also but am not very confident in him going up against the Chargers. I know Dallas got shut down last week but TB defense is usually bad and those games end up in a shootout. Might go with Dak but I do hate relying on a Cowboy in the championship.

Look at their last few games. Which one is consistent with their point total. Are yo looking for a big total or one which is going to give you 15+ points? I just looked at Jackson and in his 5 games he has delivered 15-20 points in NPPR. Prescott has been up and down. Now look at what the defenses have been doing, TB seems to be giving up points in the teens the last five games with the exception of SF which was 8. The Chargers have pretty much shutdown two pretty good QBs in their last five games. Finally both teams have something to play for. One other thing is look at how their run defenses have been. The Chargers have been tough against the run lately while the Bucs have given up some decent yardage. The difference may be Elliot being able to run will open up the passing game for Prescott. Also the Bucs have nothing to play for while the Chargers do. I'd go with Prescott.

Dak. Tampa's defense sucks and Dallas has been playing well since the trade for Amari Cooper.

They did get shut out last week and Dak racked up a dismal 7.24 points in my league. Dak has had big games and not so good games all season.

It happens. Fantasy football is all about playing the odds. Odds are that Dak has a better week than Lamar Jackson based on the matchup and offense he plays on.

The amount of times I screw myself in fantasy is amazing. Sitting on my bench is CJ Anderson and his 15.20 1st half points.

Ends up neither Jackson or Prescott scored all that many points today. One point difference in NPPR league.

I'm leading 92.90-89.94. I have Hill and Lindsey left and my opponent has Baldwin and Kelce going right now. This one is going to go down to the wire. If I'm within 10 points after tonight I have a great chance.

I'm down 13 in my Super Bowl with Lindsey going tonight. Score would be closer if Baldwin didn't blow up in the 2nd half.

You have a decent chance. All you need is one TD and 70+ yards.
