San Diego Chargers at Miami Dolphins
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
There are no must starts….and not just because they imploded last week, but because these aren’t the best match-ups or are too risky for your line-up.
Gut Calls
Ryan Mathews
#21 Ranked RB
We really don’t know what to say. Seriously, this guy is beyond frustrating and he will frustrate you in your line up. He scored 3 fantasy points two weeks ago and then 11 points last week. He is up against the 2nd worst rush defense in the league so maybe he will have a decent week. No one knows. And we mean no one.
Danny Woodhead
#14 Ranked RB
If you are in a PPR league, Woodhead is a must start. If not, he is a gut check. He and Mathews split carries and Woodhead has been scoring mediocre points. If Mathews is “Mathews,” then Woodhead should have a good game. If Mathews decides to play, then Woodhead will have an average game. It’s all up in the air…or ground for that matter.
Philip Rivers
#9 Ranked QB
Everyone expected Philip to have a big week against the Broncos, but that didn’t happen. He only threw for 200 some yards and was sacked many times. The Dolphins have given up the 5th fewest points to QBs so don’t expect Rivers to buck any trends this week.
Keenan Allen
#12 Ranked WR
The Dolphins have a very good secondary, and with the majority of the drama behind them, look for them to be as good as ever. Allen should have had more than 4 fantasy points last week against the Broncos, so he will either bounce back this week or fall prey to gritty corners. If any of the Chargers receivers have upside, it would be Allen.
Bench Warmers
Eddie Royal
#54 Ranked WR
Last week was the week Royal should have shined. He only caught 2 passes for a total of 3 fantasy points. The Dolphins have a very nasty secondary, giving up the 4th fewest points, so this is not the week for Philip to air the ball out to Royal.
