There are few gripes to be had in terms of the job Frank Reich and his coaching staff have done this season. They have transformed a team that shouldn’t be as good as it is into a true contender far faster than anyone imagined they could. To some degree that is because of poorly utilized talent being put to better use. It is also in part due to an incredible draft class courtesy of Chris Ballard. What is undeniable Youth Ryan Kelly Jersey , though, is Reich and company’s ability to consistently put his players in position to win games, and motivating them to finish strong. They’ve done that better than anyone down the stretch, winning 10 of their last 11 games. However, there is one complaint I have with this team down the stretch and it isn’t an insignificant one. The offense has undeniably come out fired up and ready to go. When they are running through their scripted plays at the start of the game, they have been nearly unstoppable, and it hasn’t really mattered who was playing defense. They have scored touchdowns on their first two drives in both of the past two games. The defense has come out just as hot, with 3 punts and an interception making up the results of the first two drives of each of their last two games. The problem that arises is after that point. Once they get beyond the first quarter when they find themselves moving the ball efficiently, they have seemed to transition to a ball control offense. Against the Texans Womens Rigoberto Sanchez Jersey , this worked fairly well. The defense was holding the Texans’ offense in check all game, and it hardly mattered that they didn’t score in the second half. They took a commanding lead and sat on it.While it didn’t become an issue, what it did do was leave the Texans still somewhat in the game. A major play in their favor or a mistake by the Colts could have landed them right back in the mix rather than roundly putting them away. This isn’t entirely about scheme, because while the Colts went run heavy in that game, it was also to some degree a matter of sustained execution. Receivers dropped passes. Drives stalled after penalties. It almost seems as though the team gets a bit comfortable and loses focus during the midpoint of the game. That absolutely cannot happen against the Chiefs. A two touchdown lead against them would not be one you could consider even a little “safe.” This is one of the most prolific offenses we have seen, possibly ever. You cannot go to sleep on them at any point in a game and get a win.The Colts should find success moving the ball on the ground. If they can gouge the Chiefs for 5 yards per carry, their average allowed on the season, it won’t be a problem to stick with the running game. However, they need to make their primary concern scoring points Youth Jordan Wilkins Jersey , not running the clock. They can’t force their defense into that kind of situation against this team.Frank Reich acknowledged as much earlier in the week as did OC Nick Sirianni when asked if ball control would be a key factor. His response was succinct, “Our job is to score points.” That mentality across the board is absolutely right. They need to show they can have the same kind of offensive dominance across 60 minutes of football that they have done for halves at a time. If they can do that against a Chiefs defense that has many weaknesses, they can keep this game in their control and give their defense an opportunity to get a stop.If they sputter and stall out as they have at times, they are likely to find themselves getting behind. The Chiefs are not likely to slow down much at all on the offensive side of the ball. The Colts will be lucky to hold them under 30, and going for an entire quarter without scoring would almost certainly result in the Colts getting behind. That makes for desperate football. While Andrew Luck has engineered many incredible comebacks, and I’d take Adam Vinatieri on a windy, snowy field attempting to kick a game winner over just about anyone, that isn’t the Colts’ best bet to get a win tomorrow. As much as we will be watching carefully how those first couple of drives go for the Colts offense, it will be the 3rd Womens Jack Doyle Jersey , 4th, and 5th drives that will ultimately determine if this team can be a heart breaker, or if this is the end of their magical season.

It seems like Leonard Fournette, the former No. 4 overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft, is never going to put together a full slate of 16 games, and that’s okay for a Jacksonville team that can use other backs until the playoffs. 2018 might be a lost year for Fournette, fantasy wise, due to several hamstring issues. The good news for Yeldon owners is that the former Alabama running back has the chance to assume the role as the lead back behind Blake Bortles. One week ago, Yeldon eclipsed 100 yards from scrimmage Womens Adam Vinatieri Jersey , scoring a touchdown on the ground and through the air.

Chubb has shown his talent in four games, although he has carried the ball just 10 times. But during those 10 touches he has gained over 146 yards which includes two runs of 63 and 41 yards for touchdowns against Oakland. Chubb is on his way to get more touches, which makes him a nice RB3 and stash option — just in case Hyde goes down with an injury.

Against the Patriots and Jets, Bortles put up over 300 yards and at least two touchdowns. In those two games, he totaled 764 yards and six passing touchdowns. It wouldn’t be surprising if the former UCF star did the same against a lackluster Chief secondary. If you need a quarterback, Bortles is available in 68 percent of fantasy leagues.

The rampage of bad luck began when Delanie Walker went down with a broken ankle in the season opener. Mariota followed that up with injuring his shoulder in Week 2. Week 3 wasn’t his greatest outing Womens Ryan Grant Jersey , throwing for 100 yards and no touchdowns — following the game Rishard Matthews iterated to management and the coaching staff that he wasn’t happy with the amount of targets he was receiving and asked for a release. With an elbow and shoulder issue — which has caused him to loose feeling in his fingers at times — Mariota bounced back with 344 yards and two scores against the defending Super Bowl champs and giving his team a victory. The former Oregon quarterback may not have season-long fantasy value, but the Titans have a matchup with the Buffalo Bills this week, which makes Mariota a nice streamer option for a team dealing with quarterback issues.
