NFL Week 5 thread: Josh Freeman is no longer the future

Tough week for the Survivor leagues. You've got a lot of "suck" vs. "suck." Sure you can pick against the winless Falcons, but you have to take the 1-4 Vikings. And it's always a crapshoot picking against a team with a recent coaching change or other major change. I went with Chiefs over Bills. Chiefs seem more likely to bounce back and Josh Allen is another of those "not ready for prime time" QBs. It's a monday nighter.

 

Monday afternooner. Kickoff is at 5 p.m.

 

New England at home over Denver seems like a no-brainer. How about Miami at home over the Jets?

 

I already picked NE this season, but Miami is 2-3 for a reason. Who knows, maybe Bell was a cancer and the Jets suddenly play better. Just figured the Chiefs were less likely to lose two straight than the Bills. And the weird, short week might work against them.

 

One more suggestion. Colts at home against Cincinnati.

 

Miami is 2-3 because it lost to New England, Buffalo and Seattle, which are a combined 11-3. The Jets are 0-5 because... they're the Jets.

In fact, I had the Patriots in my survivor league, but I just talked myself into picking the Dolphins, even though I know at some point Fitzmagic will become Fitztragic again.

 

He did throw for 40o plus against the 49ers - Garappolo has nothing to do with that.

Bell to the Chefs. I don't get it, but they seem to know what they're doing, so...

 

It’s a one-year contract. Nothing to lose.

 

McCoy's hurt. He's there to replace Shady.
