Your “You Can Thank Covid For This Bounty” Monday Early NFL Football Open Thread

I don’t know about you but I get all turgid and giddy when there’s the slightest change to the NFL schedule. Does it feel like practice for your Thanksgiving? I mean, we’ve got a great tilt (potentially) that dovetails right into the regular Monday Nighter. Plus with the teams that are involved there’s simply tons of fantasy scrums still in the balance. I myself need an ungodly amount of points from Tyreek to make my loss not seem quite as epic in one of my leagues.

TO THE GAME!

Chiefs/Bills:

-Newcomer rb Bell isn’t a go so this might be the last hurrah for CE-L. He was the shiny new thing way back in the first week but has since not done much of note. One would expect that being a feature back in this sort of dynamic offense would yield more than the pedestrian 3.6 ypc mark he carries like an albatross around his neck.

-Although he (much like Mahomes) came back to earth a little bit, Josh Allen’s stats are still so much better than last year’s. His ability to extend plays and break down defenses gives him some great numbers on passes over 20 yards-he’s 12-19 for 376 yards (a 31 yards average) with 3 TD’s and a 124.6 passer rating.

-Singletary got 23 touches last week! I guess myself and Hippo can stop whining for at least the time being. Look for more of that because the Chiefs can be run on and backup Yeldon is out of this one.

-The Bills had a rep for a stout D last year but this year despite talent on the d-line they’re having trouble generating pressure-PFR says they’re the 4th worst in the league.

-Your sneaky play this week? It could be Gabe Davis-he saw 9 targets last week, has 2 TD’s on the season and due to the presence of Diggs and Brown, he almost never sees a quality cb.

Enjoy these riches!
