Snow in the NE and heavy rain in parts of thw south. QB play could be tricky.

Watch out for those Bears. That pass defense isn't as bad as everyone thinks.

Brady, Flacco, Ben and Tyrod Taylor will be playing in snow. Palmer and Tannehill could be playing in heavy rains.

I wouldn't doubt Brady in the snow. He and Moss won me a ship several years back when they balled out against the Cardinals in the snow.

not like there isn't a lot of data on Brady's success in snow games

He will likely throw it close to 50 times. Outside of Jimmy Smith shadowing Malcolm Mitchell, I think he can expose that pass D.

Thoughts on Big Ben in Buffalo I have other options but not great ones.
Eli vs Cowboys
Kaep vs Jets
Flacco in the snow
It's. 5 per completion

I like Kaep out if the three you listed other than Ben if you decide to go that route.

Ben has played 13 seasons in PIT and 3 college years in Ohio. Brayd 17 and 4 in NE and Michigan. Their splits in December are on par with any other month

this isn't the first season with cold weather, lets not freak out here

I completely understand that I was just getting thoughts on other options.
I mean if it's snowing w 15 mph winds what do you think about the other options esp. Kaep vs. The Jets. And I get the whole are you really gonna put your fantasy league on fking Kaep but it's a legit question.
If I'm trying to field the best team in can field for this game that should be extremely close.
Gyno. I know you know your stuff that's y I was looking for your thoughts on the two.
It's also a .5pt per carry league as well

Only reason I would have any pause with Ben is bc of his record away from Heinz field. I believe I heard on NFL Network yesterday he averages 15 fantasy pts per game in away games.

yea he's definitely better at home vs the road. He's went 20+ in his last two road games, one against BAL.

that said, with the way Kaep looked last week and Kelly pulling him with Gabbert, im not sure thats the guy i want to trot out in a game that means something

Here's my thing on MM. He's been on a three week run

vs SF - 4/98/1 == TD was 56 yards. 1 big play, minimal targets (bad secondary)

vs NYJ - 5/42/2 == 2 TD grabs inside the 10, salvaged the day (bad secondary)

vs LA - 8/82 on 10 targets - now I like this game for him, it's what you want, rec & yards & targets. Brady throw 46 times

It's been 3 different storylines for MM. One game he's dependent on the long TD a la Desean Jackson, one game he puts up a TD dependent Moncrief line, and one week he's the heavy volume guy similar to Diggs. So while the end game is nice production the last 3 weeks, what are you really counting on?

This week he's going to draw Jimmy Smith the majority of the time, who has been lockdown this season. BAL has been burned in the slot too. Thinking heavy Edelman game

Is this opinion or was it reported somewhere?

Yea dj there is no concrete data to predict what he will do. Lev bell had 36 touches in that game tho, they controlled the ball in that game

BAL and IND were competitive road games, I think BUF could have same game flow. Thoughts

Wasn't it in the 20s last night in KC? If so, that's same forecast that's in NE on Monday night.

Alex Smith was able to sling it in those conditions

Speculation

Over the years he's shadowed on and off, mainly shadowing bigger WRs (megatron, BMarsh, Watkins, pryor etc) while not shadowing guys like AB84

MM is 6'1" but smith can very well stay on his one side. The rest of that secondary isn't great
