So the Lions decided to clear house today after a disappointing start to the season. Only person safe after the Lions fired GM Mayhew and president Lewand is head coach Jim Caldwell. The NFL has reached week 9 and if you too are struggling to find that 1st, 2nd or 3rd win then clean house like the Lions. In keeper leagues start looking at talent to keep for next year. Everyone else time to trade everyone. Your season is a failure so might as well pull some moves and screw up those contending. Try and save yourself some dignity like the Lions are trying to accomplish with their firings. That great QB or Running back you decided to get hitch to start the season, time to trade them in for something else. Time to kill off the dead weight on your time that suck up starting spots.
Marry: Andy Dalton
Dalton is out there just waiting for a deal. No one trust Dalton and owners will gladly trade him in for anything that looks solid. During Fantasy Football drafts not to many had Dalton as their targeted starting QB. So in your leagues he may just be sitting on the bench. Worse yet you maybe are being reluctant to pull the trade because you’re waiting on Peyton to recover or Romo to come back. Dalton production alone should have you trying to pull off a trade for him. On the season Dalton has 2,000 yards, 15 touchdowns, only 4 intercepts. This week the Bengals play the Cleveland Browns who are at the bottom of the league in passing defense.
Kill: Alfred Morris
Morris has had a terrible 2015 season. Morris has zero touchdowns on the year and only 302 yards on the season. That’s far from the production that many fantasy owners thought they would get from Morris. Morris previous 3 season each produced over 1,000 yards rushing. Washington seems to prefer Matt Jones in the backfield and rotating Morris (only 6 touches last game). Plus Washington is going against one of the best defenses in the NFL in the Patriots. The Pats have only gave up 4 rushing touchdowns so far this season.
Smash: Kansas City Chiefs
This is a risky pick. Think about it as if it’s a blind date and you only heard the girl’s voice and seen a picture. Now the girl’s voice is pretty, it’s intriguing, makes you want to take a shot. That’s Kansas City on paper, very good defense over the last few weeks. Only 4 rushing touchdowns this season and 6 interceptions in the last 4 games. But is the girl with the pretty voice actually pretty? Have her pictures been photoshop? In this case are the Chiefs stats just there to create an illusion of pretty. That’s a risk you to decide if its worth taking.
