![]() ![]() Jeudy missed large portions of the Broncos’ offseason program due to various factors between injury and personal obligations. Sutton is the preferred option in Wilson stacks if only playing one of the two, but they are viable together.įrom a point-per-dollar perspective, Jeudy is just as strong a play as Sutton. Due to price, Sutton and Jeudy share similar rostership. ReceiverĪny reporter who has seen a single training camp practice has reported that Courtland Sutton is lightyears ahead of Jerry Jeudy as pertains to Wilson’s favorite receiver. Later in the year there will be more clarity, and Gordon will likely be priced as more of a backup, but for now, Gordon is a strong play. Williams is the most likely to handle the high-value touches, but his price tag makes it tough to recommend him over Gordon. Gordon himself pointed to the notion that the Broncos want Williams to be “the guy” however, that has not been the case throughout camp. The most important question is who the red zone back will be. Unfortunately, Williams is expected to carry at least twice the exposure as Gordon at $2,800 more, so this is a slate to lean into the less electric Gordon.īoth Williams and Gordon will catch passes, so that is a wash. If Williams was projected for less exposure at his lofty price tag, I would lean into him based on talent. Williams is the more talented back at this point in their respective careers.Īs a rookie, Williams topped the charts in nearly every running back efficiency metric. Melvin Gordon has taken nearly 50% of the backfield touches throughout training camp. Nathaniel Hackett has called this backfield a “hot hand” situation, and I believe him based on all reports out of Denver this offseason. Wilson should be priced closer to Matthew Stafford’s Week 1 price ($10,400) than Josh Allen’s ($12,000) but given so much production on this slate coming from Denver, Wilson’s price is one you must pay. Kenneth Walker III – Hernia – Questionable – Trending towards sitting Denver Broncos Offense Quarterback KJ Hamler – Knee – Questionable – Trending towards playing Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon should both be busy regardless of the game script, as Hackett has deemed his backfield rotation a “hot-hand” approach. Seattle’s pace will have no choice but to increase if they want any shot at keeping up in this game. With Nathaniel Hackett at the helm, the Broncos are expected to put their foot on the gas and never take it off. One of the primary motivations for Wilson to leave Seattle was because of Pete Carroll’s inability to “let Russ cook.”Įxpect Russ to “cook” early and often in this game, and for the remainder of the season, as Wilson has a plethora of weapons at his disposal. The game total currently sits at a lowly 44 points. Russell Wilson is heading back to the home of the 12th Man with his Denver Broncos as 6.5-point road favorites over the Seattle Seahawks. The term “any given Sunday” should be the mantra for successfully building Showdown lineups. When rostership dictates that the field has the game figured out, lean into builds around a different scenario. The likeliest outcome is only one of infinite outcomes. Showdown is non-binary, but over time sound lineup construction will reign supreme. There may be times when Cooper Kupp finishes as the best play of the slate without Matthew Stafford, and other times Jonathan Taylor may rush for 200 yards while Matt Ryan and Michael Pittman still make the optimal lineup. The game theory is much more intricate than this one example, but it gets you down the path of thinking of showdown as an if/then rather than a raw projection. In this scenario, his quarterback may have also produced well. His running back likely received less opportunity, while the opposing team’s running back may have seen a boost. If a wide receiver who was projected for nine points instead earns 22 points, then there is a strong likelihood that his performance came at the detriment of a teammate, or even a member of the opposing team. This is because of the ramifications associated with a single player underproducing or overproducing relative to their projection. Median projections are a tool in the toolbox, but they are to be trusted far less than they would be on the main slate. NFL Showdown is not about who you play as much as how you play them. ![]()
