Beast of the Week: Alvin Kamara.

I grew up in Beverly.

The weather is starting to look bad in NE. Saw a report they are calling it storm Henry, and it is Derrick’s b-day on saturday. Just saying

If Ertz is out (which seems likely) is Perkins in play as a good salary saver/pivot off of Goeddert? Does he get use, run routes etc?

That’s my hot take value play this week. Dance with the one that brung ya. They have been running 2 TE sets all year.

I don’t think they stop now just because it’s the playoffs.

“Dance with the one that brung ya.”

What if my mom brung me?

That’s how I see it…stick to your bread and butter which in the eagles case is the two te set. I’m just not sure if they let Perkins run routes and utilize him on pass plays outside of blocking

Would you turn down a dance request from ma? I sure wouldn’t.

I’m liking Ginn and Moore for low-end options with significant upside. What say the peanut gallery?

I like Moore for Seattle- He’s their # 3 now w/out any competition- prefer TreQuan over Ginn and its really not close. that’s just me

Yea, I heard that, but temps in the mid 40’s during the day, with some rain. Perhaps at game time or by halftime it turns to snow, we need boots on the ground for a report

This was interesting:

@riversmccown
Houston’s pass offense DVOA in games where Fuller played at least 20 snaps in 2019: 35.4% (4th), 115.3% on deep balls (11th)

Without Fuller (excluding Week 17): -8.5% (27th), 17.6% on deep balls (29th, and they threw just 29 of them)

Yea, I heard that, but temps in the mid 40’s during the day, with some rain. Perhaps at game time or by halftime it turns to snow, we need boots on the ground for a report

I’ll take a peak at the local forecast later today- They are pretty good

Happy New Years to you, your mom, and your aunt, Squidward.

I don’t have the exact numbers, but it looked like Perkins ran plenty of routes. He appeared to slot right into the Goedert (TE 2) role as DG obviously filled Ertz’ (TE 1) spot. I think if Ertz is out Perkins is the best value on the slate. As y’all have already stated, Philly runs the most 2 TE sets in all of football and that won’t change this week. Although I think one of the secondary TEN options (Davis, Smith, Sharpe) will also hit. Just gotta figure out which one.

I’m guessing it’s a little like a clavicle. He’s fine, unless it gets torn up again. I’d also guess he’s literally not at full strength because he had some limitations on his upper body work for the better part of the last few months. His legs should be close to 100%. As long as he doesn’t get injured, I think he will be effective.

Do the Vikings have healthy, good CBs for Sunday?

I see Xavier “all roads open” is good to go.

Just saw all that. The crazy thing is NO’s doesn’t have any other WR’s you can play. I don’t think it effects MT at all, it would help the NO’s 2 or 3 WR and who cares, you know? If you are playing 10 LU’s, you can put T. Smith in 1 of them now. That’s about all you can do with that 411 along with going heavier on Bree’s along with 40% of the field.

thoughts on C Davis this week?

why not look at game logs in last 3 weeks

it would if the guy cost less than 4500
