Wow, can you believe I'm doing back to back weeks of MOTWs? I know it's late for the Thursday deadline but I actually knew the matchup I was going to pick and realized there were no Thursday players in that matchup.
This season has been nuts. With only 2 weeks to go, nobody has secured a bye and only one team has officially been eliminated from the playoffs.
5. I gotta have Moore cowbell vs. 8. Dalvin & the Chubbmunks (Rich)
Jung is currently on the inside looking out but his place is anything but safe. he's only 12 points ahead of 7th place and he plays against a hungry team that could be more dangerous than their record shows. If Rich can beat Jung, he would guarantee that he jumps at least Jung and most likely the loser of the 7-8 matchup, meaning at the very least, he would be in the playoffs as the 6 seed. Who will stay in the hunt and who will drop out?
QB: Jung ◯ ◯ 🟢 ◯ ◯ Rich
Most weeks, I'd pick Hurts but with Burrow facing off against Mahomes in what should be a shootout, I see lots of throws for the Cincy QB. Hurts gets a relatively tough Titans D but this Philly offense has been humming all season. Expect the typical 25-35 points.
WR: Jung ◯ ◯ ◯ 🟢 ◯ Rich
Initially this one felt like a win for Jung. CeeDee is probably the best WR amongst the 6 for fantasy purposes, Wilson has new life with White, and Palmer has been Herbert's go to guy and Mike Williams is out again. But the advantage Rich has is that AJ Brown will negate and overtake whatever balls are given to him. Additionally, DPJ should get a nice boost with Watson back and Lockett gets to play a terrible Rams team that's basically given up on the season.
RB: Jung ◯ ◯ ◯ ◯ 🟢 Rich
This one is a pretty big win in one direction. Cook and Chubb are true RB1s that do not split their workload in winnable games, meaning they should get garbage time yards. Chubb gets a TERRIBLE Texans D so don't be surprised when he's the overall RB1 for the week. Aaron Jones should be solid against Chicago but he's still splitting with Dillon, and Gibson gets a tougher than they look Giants D while still splitting with Brian Robinson in a game that may be a slow slog-fest.
TE/K/DST: Jung ◯ 🟢 ◯ ◯ ◯ Rich
This one might be a SLIGHT lean towards Jung but I don't see enough to give him the green dot. Seattle gets the aforementioned Rams but Stafford may return. Even if he doesn't, Perkins plays mistake free safe football. It won't win them games but it will prevent the defense from racking up a lot of fantasy points. Both TEs are solid but unspectacular, but that could be said about almost every TE this year. You know what, I'll give Jung the green.
Winner: Rich
Rich continues to build wins to get into the playoff picture. He was a bit unlucky in the beginning of the year and even with the highest points for, he was getting destroyed. Now, his matchup luck has normalized a bit and so his PF is helping him climb the standings when everyone is bunched up with the same record.
Good luck to all!
