The Green Bay Packers are on a bye this week which is sad
Josh Jackson Jersey , but on the bright side, they’re guaranteed not to lose. We’re going glass half-full following that Week 6 win! Leaving Aaron Rodgers,
Davante Adams, and Jimmy Graham on your bench for the week generally doesn’t
sound like the best case scenario to catch a win in the middle of the fantasy
season. For the most part, they’ve been consistent starts no matter what matchup
they’ve faced. So we’re going to do our best to help you find some waiver-wire
streams to give you some solid production. They won’t match Adams’ 19-20 points
per game, but hopefully they can fill in the holes adequately. These options are
still relatively available on waivers, so grab them up before Sunday morning if
you can.QB substitution: Baker Mayfield, CLEIt’s time to unleash the rookie QB
on your fantasy opponents. He’s only 40% owned in ESPN leagues
Oren Burks Jersey , so there’s a solid chance that Baker’s still on the waiver wire for you this week to replace Rodgers. Mayfield’s been somewhat up-and-down
since he took over for Tyrod Taylor in Week 3, but his budding rapport with
David Njoku and other younger weapons is intriguing. What’s more, the Browns
take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who are dead last in pass DVOA and are letting
up a league-high 355.8 passing yards per game. The Bucs have also given up 9.3
yards per pass, so if Antonio Calloway can hang on to some deep passes, there
are some big points on the table. WR subtitution: Keke Coutee, HOUCoutee has
been an effective slot receiver for the past three weeks and is becoming a
safety valve for Deshaun Watson. After Cole Beasley ran wild all over the
Jaguars defense in Week 6, there’s a strong chance Coutee is used in the same
fashion. He’s still available, being owned in 33% of ESPN leagues. Still seeing
a healthy amount of targets
J’Mon Moore Jersey , Coutee is averaging 15 points per contest in ESPN leagues over the past three weeks. There’s a strong chance that the Jaguars re-solidify
themselves after getting blown out in Jerry World, but Coutee is good enough to
take a look at regardless.TE substitution: C.J. Uzomah, CINSince Tyler Eifert
went down, Uzomah has been the primary tight end for a Bengals team that is tied
for 5th in passing touchdowns (14). While Uzomah has only been on the receiving
end for one of those scores, he might be due for another. It’s taking a little
bit for Uzomah to really become a legitimate option, but his six catch, 54-yard
game against Pittsburgh was promising. His seven targets during the game were
second only to A.J. Green and Tyler Boyd, and Andy Dalton was looking for Uzomah
to pick up large chunks of yards.If the connection is more solid against a
Kansas City team that is 27th in DVOA defending tight ends
Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey , then Uzomah should put in a solid outing. He’s still only 30% owned, so grab him and maybe hang on to him as the bye weeks
pile up over the next couple weeks. Good tight end talent is hard to secure this
season. Just keep an eye on the injury report, as Uzomah was limited in practice
this week. Seattle Seahawks center Justin Britt was in a terrific mood after
Thursday night’s 27-24 win over the Green Bay Packers. Nevertheless, he wanted
to share some thoughts on what he felt were officiating issues in the game and
throughout the season as a whole in the locker room after the game.The Seahawks
were called for four false starts in the first 21 minutes of the game with three
of the four false starts coming from the offensive line. They were add a fifth
false start penalty in the fourth quarter as well.After George Fant was called
for their fourth false start six minutes into the second quarter, Britt made an
immediate beeline toward head referee Tony Corrente to say that the Packers were
simulating their offensive line calls along their defensive front.“I don?? think
it?? legal what they were doing, but it?? neither here nor there. We won. They
lost,” Britt said before expounding further.“I?? going to say this, I feel like
the NFL and the referees should do a better job when it comes to hands to the
face. They put an emphasis on it but they never call it. I think they need to
review that and start calling those. I think they need to start calling holding
on the teams we??e playing
JK Scott Jersey , the offensive line that we??e playing. I feel like we try to be technique-oriented up front and dominate in that way but I feel like other
teams you just see them holding all the time. You saw a bunch today. We got a
win. We??e going to start a streak, but those are a couple thoughts on my
head.”Added left tackle Duane Brown regarding the false starts: “Their defense
was moving around quite a bit and making calls during our cadence and guys just
kind of got a little anxious. So we just had to focus, just calm down a little
bit and that?? what happened. It was tough at the beginning of the game because
it?? tough to ask guys to not do that the way it was happening. It wasn?? as
easy as not moving. In the middle of the cadence, guys are barking out calls and
guys can?? hear and they think it?? (Russell Wilson). It was tough but we found
a way to overcome it.”The Seahawks had to go to a silent count in their own
stadium at times in an effort to counter the call outs from the Packers front
and the abnormal strength of the opposing support from away fans on Thursday
night.Britt was again upset about an uncalled hands to the face late in the game
by Packers defensive lineman Tyler Lancaster.“You name a number any week and
they probably do it,” Britt said of the hands to the face non-call. “There was
quite a few times it happened tonight. I?? not going to complain more than this.
I really don?? care but someone has to say it.”Wilson’s illegal forward pass on
an attempted later at the end of the first half was the only penalty Seattle had
that wasn’t a false start. They finished with six penalties for 30 yards. The
Packers had fewer penalties (five), but they were biggest infractions. A holding
that negated a 53-yard kickoff return by Trevor Davis, and 48-yard pass
interference call against Raven Greene accounted for most of their 80 penalty
yards.
