Baker vs Fins.

Although I do think the 'Boys have the Oline and Zeke capable of giving NE fits. It's a front 7 greater than the sum of its parts. No real dominant individual talent, though I'm not saying Danny and Guy are DI to be sneezed at.
At the end of the day, the NE secondary has played incredibly well and I have this feeling Garrett shits the bed with play calling.

I'm rolling with Scarborough as a secondary flex play.
And Scary Terry to follow that up only because I don't trust Lamar distributing the ball. Their passing game is incredibly "controlled" where Mark Andrews and the bigger bodies are the primary targets.

A few weeks ago I got really smart and played Drew Brees in a plus matchup against Atlanta instead of Lamar Jackson vs the Bungles. Brees put up a whopping 11.5 to help me eek out my worst week of the season.....while Lamar only scored 39.4 on my bench. I decided at that point I wasn't ever benching Lamar Jackson again.

Fast forward to this week....a must win matchup against the current #1 in my division and in the league overall. I have Lamar going against the 9ers D, or Drew Brees back against Atlanta in Atlanta. The winner of this game will get their entry fee back as the overall 1 seed and get a 1st round bye. As the clear best team in the league, I feel like it's borderline illegal if I don't get that #1.

So Brees vs Atl or Lamar vs SF?

I'm a big believer in 'dance with the girl you brought'. That having been said, the San Fran defense ain't fucking around at all. I fancy myself a logical individual and the ATL defense is NOT good by any measure. Couple with the fact it's incredibly difficult to beat the same team twice in the NFL. Especially a division rival. Think 'Nawlins isn't pissed about that last ass beating they took? Especially given that Tampa hung it on the Dirty Birds the other day. So that would tend to indicate the last matchup being a fluke.

What Lamar is doing is ridiculous, but how many times have been seen seemingly unstoppable defenses get shut down and then the blueprint is finally crafted? The Ravens are still an offense built around protecting LJ from having to pass themselves out of bad situations. It's a gameplan meant to protect their QB from having to sling the ball 30+ times a game. At some point, they're going to run into a defense that is fedup with the bullshit and they're going to commit 8 and 9 man fronts then force Lamar to either consistently beat man coverage or read a zone beyond his primary.

It's going to happen eventually. While Jackson is a fun player to watch, he's no better a passer than Tebow, Kaep, Newton, etc etc.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Niners beat the shit out of LJ this weekend, even if they don't win the game.


edit: As for myself and my season.

Yahoo league - commanding 10-2 with a first round bye. Leading the league in scoring.
ESPN league - 6-6 after a 3 game skid because of BYE weeks and injuries to Kittle, Theilen and Howard. Made a bundle trade for Godwin and now that Kittle and Theilen look to be back, I'm hoping to go back to 200+ points a week. Yet STILL leading the league in scoring in that one as well.
