STLCards' NFL Field Stretcher: Conference Championships

Conference Championships

Welcome to the final “Field Stretcher” article for the 2018-2019 season! I would like to personally thank all of you for reading along this season, and I wish you a happy and prosperous 2019! We obviously don’t have a large slate with just two games on the docket this week, but here’s a final look at some players that I will be overweight and underweight on for Conference Championship week.

Players I Am Overweight On

Jared Goff (20% pOWN DK / 23% pOWN FD) and Robert Woods (35% pOWN DK / 30% pOWN FD) – The Rams have gone with a ground heavy approach of late thanks to the spectacular play of C.J. Anderson as a complement to Todd Gurley. There’s no denying that a lot of focus will be on the running game for the Rams, especially since the passing game has lagged a bit of late. However, I expect that they will need to open things up a little more this week in a rematch of a regular season shootout. Goff threw for nearly 400 yards in that game, and he has the potential to be the best point per dollar play at the quarterback position. As for a pairing with Goff, even though it was Cooks that had the biggest numbers in the first meeting between these teams, it was Robert Woods who led the team with nine targets. He has become the most reliable option for Jared Goff throughout the second half of the year, and he’s my favorite WR target to pair with Goff.
