Roster Freak Out - Week 12

Time to bust out the weather reports before gameday...

Lake effect snow incoming...
Reports out of Buffalo that lake effect snow is blanketing the region, resulting in an expected 7 cumulative feet of snow on the grounds of Ralph Wilson Stadium by tomorrow.


With the need to move an estimated 220,000 tons of snow by game-time, the Bills are offering $10/hour and game tickets for those who come and help shovel the snow. Sounds like a good deal - go outdoors, get some exercise and compensation, but they lost me with the game tickets. Watching the Bills play the Jets live? Yeahhh, I've got plans I need to make, sorry.


I've got a rare 2 RB lineup this week because I just can't stomach the options available at WR.

QB: Mark Sanchez - More than 300 yards in each of his starts, playing at home. Ryan Mallett in his first home start was also enticing.
WR: John Brown - 9 targets in both games since Drew Stanton took over.
RB: Daniel Herron - Will probably only get 5 carries, but someone's got to pick up the slack for Trent Richardson's futility.
TE: Marcedes Lewis - Happy to welcome back Lewis after his Week 2 performance for the RFO.
W/T: Niles Paul - Contingent on Jordan Reed missing the game, otherwise I'll go with Scott Chandler.
W/R: Tavon Austin - Special deep pick of the week, I'm hoping he breaks out for a flukey TD (long run, punt return).
W/R: Boobie Dixon - Nothing like a big back running wild in cold weather; need to see snow angel TD celebration.
K: Billy Cundiff - Don't worry about the polar plunge, Billy, it can't hurt you in the Georgiadome.
DEF: Denver - Desperate to get back in win column; Tannehill will freeze.

NOTE: Replacing Boobie Dixon with Chris Hogan as of 7:50 pm Sunday night. They're now playing in Detroit with climate control, and there's two other RBs vying for playing time.


RESULTS

QB: Mark Sanchez - 12.68 points
WR: John Brown - 6.1 points
RB: Daniel Herron - 7.6 points
TE: Marcedes Lewis - -0.5 points (lol Jags)
W/T: Niles Paul - 1.1 points
W/R: Tavon Austin - 9.8 points
W/R: Chris Hogan - 0.5 points
K: Billy Cundiff - 14 points
DEF: Denver - -3 points

TOTAL: 48.28

Dang it, if I had stuck with Dixon I would have beat Simon's paltry point total. Note to self: the Jaguars passing game is just way too toxic to expect anything of. I miss the days of Chad Henne!
