I took Chase with my first pick (before J Jeffersons) but, for some dumb reason, I selected Jordan Love instead of Burrow for my QB and Burrow went the pick after me.
I'd be destroying the league if I had picked Burrow.
Anyways, I'm locked into the playoffs and seeding is pretty much set for me (2 or 3 seed and I'll play the same person regardless), but do I have a shot tonight? I'm thinking Dowdle could run for at least two tuddies and over a hundred yards
Let me know your thoughts!
Kind of a catch-22: you need Chase to do well, but you lose if Burrow does well. Can't have the first one without the second one, unless Burrow throws picks, which I know you don't want.
At this point, it is quite remarkable that Chase is the league's top receiver and Burrow the league's leading passer. (Well, technically, both are a tiny bit behind, but only because they played one game less than the league leaders. With even pitiful games tonight, they will be back in first.) It was prescient of you to pick Ja'Marr, given that he had held out training camp and now is having a monster season.
Dowdle is rested (last game was Thanksgiving) and given the Bengals run defense, it's probably going to be a good game for him. But I also expect Chase and Burrow and Higgins and Chase Brown to have big games. The Bengals offense has been on fire.
