Neither team will see action tonight. All of the other matchups around the league crank up tonight.
The Helmets has a noticeable advantage at the RB position, where Joseph Randle and T.J. Yeldon are projected to outscore Darren McFadden and Darren Sproles, 32.10 - 19.80. The Helmets has six players (including Brandon Weeden and Russell Wilson) facing a top-10-ranked defense this week. Goats has two starters (Darren McFadden and Joe Flacco) going up against a top-10 defense and two (Anquan Boldin and Keenan Allen) against a defense ranked in the bottom 10.
The Helmets made one pickup since Tuesday, adding Christine Michael (3.10 projected points) while dropping Lance Dunbar (0.00 projected points). They've also made some changes to their lineup, starting Travis Benjamin (11.90 projected points) and T.J. Yeldon (16.40 projected points) while benching Cole Beasley (14.60 projected points). They might be interested in picking up the Kansas City Chiefs DEF (15.80 projected points) to start over the Dallas Cowboys DEF (6.60 projected points).
Meanwhile, Goats made one pickup, adding Gary Barnidge (13.70 projected points) while dropping Darrius Heyward-Bey (7.60 projected points). They've also made some lineup changes, starting Darren McFadden (3.90 projected points) and Martavis Bryant (13.10 projected points) while benching Eric Ebron (15.60 projected points), Karlos Williams (11.30 projected points), and Brandon Marshall (bye). They might want to think about picking up DeAndre Levy (22.70 projected points) to start over Lawrence Timmons (17.90 projected points).
CHECK BACK ON FRIDAY FOR A MATCHUP UPDATE
good luck pappy
