Your “Are You Ready For Round Two?” Sunday Afternoon Football Open Thread

TO THE GAMES!

Chargers/Broncos:

In “Did I Read This Right?” news the Chargers have allowed only one rushing TD to a running back all year. I didn’t believe it so I went through each box score and yeah, Taysom Hill and Joe Burrow have run one in but they gave up their first to James Robinson just last week! So when I heard a fantasy dude this morning saying that this is Melvin Gordon’s “revenge game” I snorted to myself. Bosa and Ingram should just keep rolling along  because the Broncos allow pressure at a greater rate than anyone other than the Jetskis.

Saints/Bears:

Foles isn’t the answer, is he? Even when he was in a clean pocket on Monday he only averaged 4.3 yards per throw. I mean, I can’t see them going back to Truth Biscuit so they’re stuck in no qb land. And they’ve got enough skills guys to make themselves a nuisance in the NFC if only they could rearrange the pieces of the puzzle. Michael Thomas owners should be happy/get back on track now that he’s back. The expectation is that he’ll rack up the yards (natch) but not the TD’s because Chicago’s D tends to lock down on wr’s as they near the red zone.

Niners/Seahawks:

You’d think that Jimmy G might have to air it out in order to keep up with his counterpart Wilson. And that’s an easy thing to do vs. the Seattle secondary this year as there’s no killer D back there. They still have the horsies up front though-only Cook and Mattison have gone for as many as 60 yards against the Seahawks.

Your turn to type.
