2020 Fantasy Football: Week 12 Start n Sits

There are no teams on a bye this week.

THURSDAY NIGHT GAMES

HOUSTON TEXANS @ DETROIT LIONS, 51 O/U, TEXANS 3 FAVORITE

START: QUARTERBACK, DESHAUN WATSON, TEXANS: To add insult to the already oozing wound, the Texans’ run game is averaging a paltry 3.9 yards per carry.  In his last five games, Watson has thrown for over 300 yards in three and has not thrown an interception.  Now he gets the Lions defense who just allowed first time NFL starter P.J. Walker to throw for 258 yards.  And remember with Watson you are also getting the upside of his rushing abilities, which last week was 36 yards and one rushing touchdown.  

SLEEPER: RUNNING BACK, ADRIAN PETERSON, LIONS: There will most likely be no  D ‘Andre Swift making Peterson the RB1 in the backfield.  Last week that did not prove to be productive in a scenario that should have been a smash.  The Lions only had 17 total rushing attempts. The entire Lions offense was impotent as quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 18-of-33 for 178 yards, and the leading receiver was tight end T.J. Hockenson who finished with 4-68.  

The Texans’ defense while playing better is still giving up 5.1 yards per carry and allowing a league-high 159.3 rushing yards per game. 

SIT: QUARTERBACK, MATTHEW STAFFORD, LIONS: Stafford has been a “limited participant” in practice as he is still dealing with an injured thumb on his throwing hand.  That was the issue last week when he completed 55% of his passes and for the first time since Week 10 of 2019 did not throw a touchdown pass.  There is also the chance that Stafford will once again be without the services of Kenny Golladay, Marvin Hall and have a limited Hockenson on a short week.  

WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM @ DALLAS COWBOYS, 46.5 O/U, DALLAS 3 FAVORITE

START: RUNNING BACK, ANTONIO GIBSON, WASHINGTON: This is a rematch of Week 7, that the Washington Football Team won 25-3, and the game that sent Andy Dalton to the sidelines with a concussion.  In that game Gibson rushed 20 times for 128 yards and one touchdown.  Since then he has had a roller coaster of rushing yards accumulation, but whether he rushed for 20 yards or 94, he has scored at least one touchdown in the past four games while also receiving targets in the passing game.  

SLEEPER: RUNNING BACK, EZEKIEL ELLIOTT, COWBOYS: These are the times that we find ourselves when Elliott is listed under the “sleeper” category.  Last week, Week 11 was the first time this season that Elliott has gained 100 rushing yards (he had 103).  He hasn’t had a rushing touchdown since October 11, but hey, he did have 103 rushing yards last week and added a receiving touchdown on two targets and two receptions.  So maybe this is the resurgence of Elliott?

In their last meeting, Washington held Elliott to 45 rushing yards on 12 carries.  

SIT: QUARTERBACK, ANDY DALTON, COWBOYS:  As mentioned earlier this is the team that knocked Dalton out of the lineup for a few weeks.  Before that unfortunate circumstance, Dalton was 9-of-19, for 75 yards.  It wasn’t an aberration.  The Washington Football Team’s defense is first against the pass, allowing 195.4 average passing yards per game.  They also are tied for third in sacks (32), tied for seventh in interceptions (9) and have given up the seventh-lowest quarterback rating (88.9%).

BALTIMORE RAVENS @ PITTSBURGH STEELERS, 45 O/U, STEELERS 4 FAVORITE

START: RUNNING BACK, GUS EDWARDS, RAVENS: J.K. Dobbins is out.  Mark Ingram is out.  Edwards now finds himself last man standing in the once crowded Ravens backfield ( no disrespect to Justice Hill).  It isn’t a completely foreign concept for Edwards, through 10 games he has rushed for 379 yards and has three touchdowns on 85 carries.  He is tied for the team lead in rushing touchdowns and averages 4.4 yards per carry. 

In the Week 8 meeting ( Steelers won28-24), Edwards ran for 87 yards and a touchdown.  

SLEEPER: QUARTERBACK, LAMAR JACKSON, RAVENS: The weather forecast is 93% chance of showers with a seven-mile per hour wind.  Jackson has not been great this year.  His completion percentage is 63.4%, he has attempted 279 passes and has thrown 15 touchdowns but also six interceptions and has six fumbles.  And while he is averaging 5.58 rushing yards per attempt, he only has three rushing touchdowns.  But this is a divisional game that is essential for the Ravens playoff hopes and you have to believe (want to believe) that Jackson rises to the occasion.  

In their Week 8 meeting, the Ravens’ offense outgained the Steelers 457 yards to 221 yards, and dominated the time of possession 35:22 to 24:38.  But they also had four turnovers which doomed them.  Without Dobbins and Ingram, the team that runs the ball 32.7 average times a game (first in the NFL) should see Jackson and Edwards playing keep away.  (Don’t sleep on Hill in your DFS lineups).

SIT: TIGHT END, MARK ANDREWS, RAVENS: The Steelers allow the second-fewest fantasy points to the tight end position.  In their Week 8 meeting, Andrews was on the receiving end of six targets converting three for 32 yards.  In his last five games he has seen the end zone once, which was last week against the Tennessee Titans, where he was on the field for his season high 56 offensive snaps.  

Andrews has also shown up on the injury report and has been listed as “limited in walkthrough” with the thigh injury he got in Week 5.

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS @ ATLANTA FALCONS, 56 O/U, RAIDERS 3 FAVORITE

START: QUARTERBACK, DEREK CARR, RAIDERS: Carr is quietly having a good year.  He has thrown 19 touchdowns and only three interceptions.  In last week’s matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs, he attempted 31 passes, completing 23 for 275 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.  

Now he will go up against an Atlanta Falcons defense that is 25th in defensive sack percentage (4.35%), allowing Carr time to find his receivers.  Remember this is the same secondary that just allowed first-time NFL starter Taysom Hill to leave the game with a 78.6% completion percentage.  

SLEEPER: QUARTERBACK, MATT RYAN, FALCONS: Ryan had an awful game last week against the New Orleans Saints.  He was sacked eight times threw two interceptions and had 232 passing yards.  He should rebound nicely as the Raiders pass rush ranks 31st in the league with a 2.8% defensive sack percentage.  

The Falcons’ offensive that is ranked fifth in pass attempts per game (38.9) should get back on track against the Raiders. 

SIT: RUNNING BACK, TODD GURLEY, FALCONS: The Falcons’ offense ranks 23rd in average rushing yards per game (101.3).  Last week they had 52 total rushing yards.  Gurley had 26 of them on eight carries.  While the game script certainly did not help, the once-reliable pass option running back was only on the receiving end of two targets.  Gurley has become touchdown dependent and that is rushing touchdowns because he has not been a predominant figure in the passing game. He has seen 24 targets for the season.  And to add insult to injury he is averaging 3.65 yards per carry.  

Last week the Raiders did allow Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Le’Veon Bell to score a rushing touchdown, but neither eclipsed 75 rushing yards.  The Raiders are also giving up the sixth-most fantasy points to the running back position.  The problem is Gurley has become a fantasy football liability, except when he isn’t and well…you are rolling the dice on when that will happen. 

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS @ BUFFALO BILLS, 53.5 O/U, BUFFALO 6 FAVORITE

Embed from Getty Images

START: TIGHT END, HUNTER HENRY, CHARGERS: The good news last week Henry found the end-zone for the second straight game.  The bad news it was against the New York Jets.  The better news in that the Buffalo Bills are giving up the third-most fantasy points to the tight end position, and Justin Herbert targeted Henry seven times in last week’s win against the Jets.  Henry has seen at least seven targets in five of his last six games.  

SLEEPER: WIDE RECEIVER, COLE BEASLEY, BILLS:  While the Buffalo Bills are only handing off the ball on 39% of their offensive snaps, and Josh Allen has 41 passing plays of 20 yards or more ( tied for the most in the league), the Chargers have the third-best passing attack in terms of yards.  They have only given up 27 plays of 20 plus yards.  That feels like Beasley’s time as he is Allen’s option for the shorter passes when his downfield options are unavailable.  

SIT: RUNNING BACK, DEVIN SINGLETARY, BILLS: The Bills are 24th in rushing attempts with 24.7 attempts per game.  The Chargers’ defense is sixth in rushing attempts allowed per game (24.8) and 15th in average rushing yards per game (115.3). Add to that for the last three weeks Zack Moss has been on the field for more offensive snaps than Singletary and the last we saw Singletary, he had four carries for 15 yards, makes him a volatile option at best. 

NEW YORK GIANTS @ CINCINNATI BENGALS, 42 O/U, GIANTS 6 FAVORITE

START: QUARTERBACK, DANIEL JONES, GIANTS:  Not only are the Cincinnati Bengals giving up the eighth-most fantasy points to the quarterback position (20.2) but their pass rush has only registered 13 sacks for the season, which gives Jones the time he needs to make good choices.  The Giants are on a two-game win streak that sees them in the playoff hunt in the NFC East.  Also, Jones now leads the team in rushing yards with 384 yards and one touchdown.  

SLEEPER: TIGHT END, EVAN ENGRAM, GIANTS: Engram’s hands have been less than reliable this season.  He also only has one touchdown.  But after their bye week he will go against the Bengals’ defense that is giving up the second-most fantasy points to the tight end position (10.9) and while he only saw three targets in Week 10, the two weeks before he was on the receiving end of 10 targets.  This should be the game that Engram displays the actual to the potential.  

SIT: QUARTERBACK, RYAN FINLEY, BENGALS: This probably doesn’t need to be said but just as you PSA for today: Finley started three games in 2019.  He had a 47.1% completion percentage with two touchdowns and two interceptions.  The Bengals scored 13 or less points in those games.  

Last week when he replaced Burrow in the third quarter he had 10 pass attempts and was sacked four times (just for comparison before he left the game with the season-ending injury Burrow had 34 pass attempts and zero sacks).  Finley finished the game 3-for-10, 30 yards and one interception.  This has been your Public Service Announcement.

TENNESSEE TITANS @ INDIANAPOLIS COLTS, 50.5 O/U, COLTS 3.5 FAVORITE

START: RUNNING BACK, JONATHAN TAYLOR, COLTS: The Colts are finding a way to win (thanks in large part to their defense) but also giving the ball to rookie running back Taylor helps.  last week in the game against the Green Bay Packers, Taylor carried the ball 22 times for 90 yards and had four targets.  The Titans last week surrendered 129 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown to the Baltimore Ravens rushing attack.  

This game is the Week 10 rematch that the Colts won 34-17.  In that game, it was all Nyheim Hines and the next week the script for the running backs was flipped.  So is this now Taylor’s backfield?  While it is hard to know what Frank Reich will do, this is a good match-up for Taylor who has shown he can produce when given the chance. 

SLEEPER: QUARTERBACK, PHILIP RIVERS, COLTS: It is hard to know if the good or the bad Rivers will show up, but you always know the competitive Rivers will.  This match-up can most likely decide which of these two teams will be on top in the AFC South. 

The Titans’ defense has basically no pass rush and are 27th against the pass giving up 267.4 average passing yards per game.  In their Week 10 meeting that the Colts won 34-17, they started out slow making a second-half comeback in which Rivers passed for 308 yards and a touchdown.  

SIT: QUARTERBACK, RYAN TANNEHILL, TITANS: This is a brutal matchup for Tannehill as the Colts are surrendering the least amount of fantasy points to the quarterback position (13.6).  They are also ranked sixth in passing attempts allowed per game (32.4), sixth in passing completions allowed per game (20.5) and fourth in passing yards allowed per game (208.9).

CLEVELAND BROWNS @ JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS, 49 O/U, BROWNS 6.5 FAVORITE

START: RUNNING BACKS, NICK CHUBB/KAREEM HUNT: This goes under the no-brainer part of the discussion.  The Browns are third in rushing attempts per game (31.9) and since Chubb’s Week 10 return he has averaged 6.2 yards per carry.  The Jaguars rank 24th in rushing yards allowed per game (129.1).  Everyone knows that Kevin Stefanski has the Browns 7-3, relying upon the run.  What is more surprising (from a fantasy perspective) is that utilizing the two-headed backfield has not really hurt the production of either back. 

SLEEPER: QUARTERBACK, BAKER MAYFIELD, BROWNS: The Browns have only scored two offensive touchdowns in the past three games.  Partly due to the absolutely brutal weather conditions and partly because they haven’t had to score more.  Mayfield for his part hasn’t been asked to do much as he has only attempted 25,20 and 22 passes in the last three games.  The good news is that he has not thrown an interception in those games.  The bad news is that he hasn’t thrown a touchdown either.  

Look for Mayfield to continue the trend as a “game manager” but find the end zone in this game. 

SIT: QUARTERBACK, JAKE LUTON, JAGUARS: Luton started out okay and then ran into a buzz saw that was the Pittsburgh Steelers defense.  He was sacked twice.  What is more disturbing is that he attempted 37 passes completing only 16 for 151 yards and four interceptions.  The Browns defense for their part last week (without Myles Garrett) against the Philadelphia Eagles sacked Carson Wentz five times, hit him 11 times and had two interceptions.  

Even if Gardner Minshew returns it is not looking good for the Jaguars’ quarterbacks. 

CAROLINA PANTHERS @ MINNESOTA VIKINGS, 48.5 O/U, VIKINGS 4.5 FAVORITE

START: RUNNING BACK, MIKE DAVIS, PANTHERS: The Panthers look to be once again without the services of running back Christian McCaffrey for this game.  Last week without CMC, Davis had 79 total yards and a touchdown against the Detroit Lions. 

Last week the Vikings gave up 180 rushing yards to the Dallas Cowboys.  

SLEEPER: QUARTERBACK, TEDDY BRIDGEWATER, PANTHERS: It appears Bridgewater will play this game.  Even if it is P.J. Walker the Vikings defense is trending in the wrong direction.  They just allowed Andy Dalton to throw for 203 yards and three touchdowns.  They are 27th in points allowed giving up an average of 27.8 points per game and they are ranked 27th in passing yards allowed per game (260.7)

SIT: QUARTERBACK, KIRK COUSINS, VIKINGS: The Vikings are fighting for their playoff lives and it is hard to believe they will put that in the hands of Cousins when they have Dalvin Cook.  Last week they were force to and the Dallas defense obliged allowing Cousins to throw for 314 yards and three touchdowns finishing the game with a passer rating of 140.1.  

But his isn’t the Dallas defense.  Last week the Panthers’ defense held the Detroit Lions to 185 total yards.  The Lions had only 10 first downs.  And the quarterback was sacked five times.  

ARIZONA CARDINALS @ NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS, 49 O/U, CARDINALS 2 FAVORITE

START: RUNNING BACK, DAMIEN HARRIS, PATRIOTS: Yes, it is perplexing that last week against the Houston Texans who rank 32nd against the run, Harris only had 11 rushing attempts for 43 yards and a touchdown.  The Patriots also lost that game.  Look for Bill Belichick and the Patriots to get back to their rushing ways (second in rushing attempts 32.5 and fourth in rushing yards per game 153.6) against the Cardinals who are 23rd against the run allowing 124.7 rushing yards per game. 

SLEEPER: QUARTERBACK, CAM NEWTON, PATRIOTS: When the Patriots get back to their rushing roots, that would include Newton who before Week 10 was tied with Lamar Jackson for the most rushing attempt per game by a quarterback (10) and ranked second in the NFL in touchdown carries inside the five-yard line.  And now with his 365 passing yards from last week you can add that to his arsenal. 

SIT: RUNNING BACK, KENYAN DRAKE, CARDINALS: This comes with a caveat, Drake has been maddeningly inconsistent this year.  He had 29 rushing yards Week 11, 100 rushing yards Week 10, 34 rushing yards Week 7 and 164 rushing yards Week 6.

So if he holds to form he should rush for over 100 yards…right?  But with the news that Kyler Murray may be suffering from a shoulder sprain in his throwing arm, you would have to believe that the Patriots want to make him throw the ball.  If he is hesitant to do so, there is always the fear that he will take off running, vulturing some of those yards from Drake.  But then again…if the pattern holds…

MIAMI DOLPHINS @ NEW YORK JETS, 44.5 O/U, DOLPHINS 7 FAVORITE

START: QUARTERBACK, TUA TAGOVAILOA, DOLPHINS: The Jets are 0-10.  Last week rookie Justin Herbert threw for 366 yards and three touchdowns on them.  Yes, Tagovailoa got benched last week in Denver as Ryan Fitzpatrick came in to try and win the game, he didn’t.

The Broncos pass rush was non-stop against Tagovailoa.  He should not be as concerned this week.  The Jets have 14 sacks for the season.  They have allowed their opponents to complete an average of 26.9 passes a game (31st in NFL).  Tua,  as every other team so far this season, should use the Jets to bounce back. 

SLEEPER: RUNNING BACK, FRANK GORE, JETS: I know right.  Rookie La’Mical Perine is out with a high ankle sprain.  The Jets will rely on veteran Gore to carry the load against a Dolphins defense that has been good against the run but better against the pass.  This is a rematch from Week 6, that the Dolphins won 24-0.  In that game, both Gore and Perine were on the field.  Gore was the leading rusher with 11 carries for 46 yards and four receptions for 24 yards.  

There is no telling the offensive scheme that Adam Gase will unveil for this game, but we know that for the last two games Gore has been on the field for at least 50% of the offensive snaps and last week was his best outing with 15 rushes, 61 yards, one touchdown and two targets.  

SIT: QUARTERBACK, JOE FLACCO, JETS: In their wins this season the Dolphins have 22.2 quarterback pressures per game, which includes 29 quarterback pressures against Flacco in their last meeting.  Flacco was also sacked three times, had one interception, attempted 44 passes, completed 21 for 186 yards and did not throw a touchdown.  

SUNDAY AFTERNOON GAMES

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS @ DENVER BRONCOS, 43.5 O/U, SAINTS 5.5 FAVORITE

START: WIDE RECEIVER, K.J. HAMLER, BRONCOS: The Broncos are not as good as expected this year, but they are team that has a lot of young talent.  Hamler falls into that category.  The rookie has been targeted 26 times in the past three games.  His speed and ability to grab the contested ball should pose a problem for Chauncey Gardner-Johnson who has allowed a 71.8% completion percentage in his coverage, and he leads the Saints’ secondary in yards allowed after the catch.  If the Saints go man coverage, Hamler should find the end-zone at least once this game. 

SLEEPER: WIDE RECEIVER, EMMANUEL SANDERS, SAINTS: Last week was Taysom Hill’s first start as an NFL quarterback.  He targeted Michael Thomas team-high 12 times.  Sanders was second with five targets.  Hill attempted only 23 passes nine of which did not go past the line of scrimmage, and 10 went five yards or less.  While it proved to be a payday for Thomas look for Sanders to get his this game as the Broncos pass rush is better than what Hill experienced against the Atlanta Falcons.  

Sanders runs 31.6% of his snaps out of the slot.  He averaged 8.7 yard target depth and is seeing a 60% snap share.  This would seem to play up to what we know to be Hill’s strengths. 

SIT:  RUNNING BACK, MELVIN GORDON, BRONCOS: Gordon excelled last week against the Dolphins carrying the ball 15 times for 84 yards and two touchdowns.  It is still a running back by committee as Phillip Lindsay carried the ball 16 times for 82 yards. Now both will go against a Saints team that has given up the fewest fantasy points per game to the running back position (13.2).

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS @ LOS ANGELES RAMS, 45 O/U, RAMS 7 FAVORITE

Embed from Getty Images

START: WIDE RECEIVER, ROBERT WOODS, RAMS: Woods and Cooper Kupp had 57% of the target share in the Monday Night game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  Woods finished the game with 130 receiving yards and one touchdown.  Kupp had 145 receiving yards and zero touchdowns.  While the Niners defense is ranked fifth against the pass, giving up 208.9 passing yards a game, that target share should hold for the man who has at least 28 fantasy points in his last two games. 

SLEEPER: RUNNING BACK, RAHEEM MOSTERT, NINERS: The question is will he or won’t he play this week.  It is clear that head coach Kyle Shanahan is leaning towards he will…but we don’t know. If he plays he will be the running back the Niners lean on to try and get back in the playoff hunt.  

SIT: RUNNING BACK, DARRELL HENDERSON, RAMS: This could be titled any Rams running back and not because they aren’t good but because we have no idea who will be the ” lead back”.  It could be Henderson, it could be Cam Akers it could be Malcolm Brown, heck it could even be Woods.  But we do know that Henderson has had nine or less carries now for the third consecutive game. 

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS @ TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS, 56 O/U, CHIEFS 3.5 FAVORITE

START: RUNNING BACK, RONALD JONES, BUCCANEERS: I say this knowing that it could very well be Leonard Fournette leading the Bucs rushing game.  Either way the Bucs need to keep Patrick Mahomes on the sidelines to win this game.  In the Monday Night massacre, Jones rushed 10 times for 24 yards and had one target.  Fournette rushed seven times for 17 yards, one touchdown and four targets, three of which he dropped.  

Jones appears to be the starter each game and plays according to the yet undisclosed whims of Bruce Arians.  The Chiefs defense is allowing 133.5 rushing yards per game and ranks 30th in rush defense DVOA.

SLEEPER: TIGHT END, ROB GRONKOWSKI, BUCCANEERS: Maybe Tom Brady has gotten over the force the ball to Antonio Brown phase that he was going through.  It is time that the Buccaneers win a game if they want to stay in the playoff hunt.  That means not only keeping the ball away from the Chief’s offense, but lots of short passes to a reliable option.  We know that the Brady-Gronkowski connection has been one of the more reliable connections in football.  

SIT: RUNNING BACK, LE’VEON BELL, CHIEFS: Do we know what the intentions Andy Reid has for Bell?  Last week he came into the game and he lined up not only in the backfield but also out wide.  Now that is pretty awesome if it was coupled with awesome production.  But Bell finished the game with seven carries, 25 yards one rushing touchdown, one target, one reception for 11 yards.  Until Clyde Edwards-Helaire relinquishes that starting running back position, Bell is an afterthought. 

SUNDAY EVENING GAMES

CHICAGO BEARS @ GREEN BAY PACKERS, 45 O/U, PACKERS 9 FAVORITE

Embed from Getty Images

START: RUNNING BACK, AARON JONES, PACKERS: This is an obvious start even against the Chicago Bears.  But what helps propel it towards a must start is that the weather is supposed to be in the low 20s with 27 miles per hour winds at game time.  Against a really good Indianapolis Colts defense last week, Jones had only 41 yards on 10 attempts but he did find the end zone, while hauling in four receptions on four targets.  The Bears defense is good, their secondary is better. with that wind look for short passes to get the Packers moving the ball. 

SLEEPER: WIDE RECEIVER, MARQUEZ VALDES-SCANTLING, PACKERS: This is one of those “he needs it” predictions.  After the fumble in overtime last week, Valdes-Scantling found himself defended by his quarterback.  Now Aaron Rodgers needs to get Valdes-Scantling back his confidence and that would be by peppering him with shorter passes against the Bears’ defense.  Look for tight end Robert Tonyan and Valdes-Scantling to be second on the team in targets, behind Davante Adams of course. 

SIT: QUARTERBACK, NICK FOLES, BEARS: Foles enters the game questionable with the hip injury he suffered against the Minnesota Vikings still a problem.  If he doesn’t go then it is back to Mitchell Trubisky for the Bears who has not played since Week 8 (in a limited capacity).  Foles has been sacked 18 times and has thrown 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions.  He is averaging 5.95 passing yards per attempt while his offensive line is giving up just an average of 2.2 seconds to get rid of the ball.  

MONDAY NIGHT GAME

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS @ PHILADELPHIA EAGLES, 50 O/U, SEAHAWKS 6 FAVORITE

START: RUNNING BACK, MILES SANDERS, EAGLES: The Eagles may be in first place in their division but they are still a hot mess.  The average 5.12 rushing yards per play the fourth best in the league but have the third lowest percentage of run plays.  Sanders is back and is their best bet to keep the ball out of the hands of Russell Wilson and what can be an explosive offense. 

SLEEPER: TIGHT END, DALLAS GOEDERT, EAGLES: If the run game doesn’t work look for Carson Wentz to try and dump short passes off to the tight end Goedert.  Last week Goedert led the team with six targets, five receptions, 77 yards and a touchdown.  The Seahawks defense has tightened up but they still gave up 269 total receiving yards to the Arizona Cardinals, including 10 targets and 62 yards to Larry Fitzgerald.  I mention that because Fitzgerald averaged 8.7 yards per reception, which is right around that dump off range. 

SIT: QUARTERBACK, CARSON WENTZ, EAGLES: Wentz is a hot mess.  He leads the NFL with 14 interceptions and 18 turnovers while getting sacked 40 times. In the past two games he has converted two out of 21 attempts on third down.  He ranks 30th in completion percentage, 29th in yards per pass and 29th in passer rating.  

This may be a game that the Seahawks defense gets right and the calls for Jalen Hurts reach a fervor pitch. 

GOOD LUCK and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
