Start: Jared Goff, Los Angeles Rams
vs. Philadelphia Eagles
The Chicago Bears did a masterful job shutting down Jared Goff and the entire Los Angeles Rams offense. Goff looked uncomfortable and rattled for much of the game. Luckily, the Rams should be able to get back on track this weekend against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia’s defensive secondary has been ravaged by injuries with the available players young and prone to mistakes.
The Eagles are coming off a game where they allowed 10 receptions, 217 yards and three touchdowns to Amari Cooper alone. Goff and the Rams have more overall weapons to attack the Eagles than the Dallas Cowboys did.
Look for the Rams and Goff to put up some big numbers this week.
Sit: Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks
@ San Francisco 49ers
The Seattle Seahawks have gotten back to basics which means they are a run-first team. They are leaning heavily on Chris Carson to control the clock and move the chains. This has reduced Russell Wilson’s numbers, but has also resulted in wins.
Seattle has embraced an old-school approach where they grind things out on offense and count on the defense to shutdown the opponent. This means that Wilson isn’t someone you want in your fantasy lineup for the foreseeable future.
