THREE TIME! THREE TIME!
Remember how I said I wasn't going to drop my kicker to grab Hightower? I lied. My RB situation in that league is just shaky enough that I'm going to see how things shake out while I'm on bye this week. Worst case scenario, I have to get a new kicker. Best case scenario, I get a high volume RB against Detroit and Jacksonville. Besides, now that the playoffs are starting, I shouldn't have to worry too much about someone snagging my kicker off the wire. And if they do, they'll probably be dropping a kicker that is also acceptable, and there are already numerous acceptable kickers on the wire.

Anyone feeling good enough with ASJ to start him this week? A matchup with the Saints defense seems too good to pass up, and Tampa Bay has seemed to look ASJ's way every time he actually plays. Problem is, I'd be playing him over Barnidge, who has done me well so far this season. I just don't really trust him with Manziel behind center. Sure, Manziel hooked up with him for a TD against the steelers, but the steelers pass defense is terrible, they give up TDs to every TE, and Barnidge hasn't put up numbers with Manziel otherwise. Normally I wouldn't care and just roll with ASJ, but it's the playoffs and all.

Of course, there is no way I'd play Winston over Palmer.

I totally won a game many years ago due to a desperate Hightower play where he was like 30 yards and 2 TDs. The low yardage+TD was pretty much his signature game with the Cards. There is absolutely a chance he gets you 18 yards and leaves you sad though.

I'm rolling out ASJ in 4 leagues for the playoffs this week, so if he puts up a dud you can blame me.

Brandin Cooks has been added to the Saints' injury report with a concussion, and missed Thursday's practice.
It's unclear if Cooks was concussed on Wednesday or Thursday, but either way, he's now all but certain to miss Sunday's game against the Bucs. It further downgrades Drew Brees on the road, and leaves fantasy owners in a lurch for the first week of the playoffs. Barring a surprise Cooks clearance, Brandon Coleman and Marques Colston will fight for scraps behind Willie Snead. Ben Watson receives an upgrade.

Yea, i have Cooks in 2 lineups and he's become a rock solid WR2 lately after starting real slow. Gonna be tough to replace in one league, but i have a few WR's in the other.

Yea someone had him starting against me that same game and due to that I always fear Hightower. Based on one game
