Andrew’s luck runs out against Seattle
October 3, 2013
Start – Jordan Cameron, TE, Browns
Cameron already has five touchdowns on the season and is ranked second for his position among fantasy tight ends. At 6 foot 5, Cameron has been Cleveland’s go-to guy in the red zone. Combined with quarterback Brian Hoyer’s hot start and a lack of other receiving threats on the team, Cameron will continue to get multiple targets each game.
Sit – Chicago Bears Defense/Special Teams
Year in and year out, the Bears boast one of the top defenses in the league in almost every defensive category. However, Chicago’s defense was exposed last week, surrendering 40 points against a high-powered Detroit Lions offense. The Bears’ task doesn’t get any easier this week against an even more lethal New Orleans Saints offense.
Start – Philip Rivers, QB, Chargers
Rivers has turned back the clock and seemingly returned to 2009 form when he was a top-five quarterback. Rivers comes into Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders with an astonishing 73.9 completion percentage, along with 11 touchdowns to only 2 interceptions. Oakland’s defense isn’t intimidating anyone, and with multiple players stepping up in the passing game for the Chargers, Rivers will continue to flow.
Sit – Andrew Luck, QB, Colts
Although Luck has led the Colts to a 3-1 start and has the team eyeing another post-season berth, he will face his toughest test of the season against the Seahawks’ Sea-Fence. With critics questioning Seattle’s ability to win big games on the road, Seattle’s ball-hawking secondary has a chip on his shoulder entering Sunday. Luck is prone to interception at times, and it will come as no surprise if that becomes an issue this week.
