Another Thursday night matchup worth watching. I will romanticize Aaron Rodger and Russell Wilson all day long. Green Bay and Seattle fan bases make this tilt something any NFL fan looks forward to. Though less than less week Myles Jack Color Rush Jersey , there are studs that you must start unless you somehow drafted a team with insane depth. Considering Wilson’s recent five game run, you’d be crazy not to see him as a must start.Let me add two comments before we move to the recommendations. First, screw you Jaguars defense for making Andrew Luck look better than he deserved, and me looking bad. Second, you can’t put up an obsence stat line, Ryan Fitzpatrick, but not get touchdowns.Winner Matt.Projections for StudsQB Aaron Rodgers, Green BayProjection: 275 yards passing with 3 touchdowns WR Davante Adams, Green BayProjection: 8 receptions for 85 yards and 1 touchdownQB Russell Wilson, SeattleProjection: 235 yards passing, 2 touchdowns, 64 yards rushing, and 1 rushing touchdown START RB Aaron Jones, Green BayHe is finally free! My prayers have been answered! Mike Mccarthy finally came to his senses and gave him a chance. I said it before, he is a stud and proved it last week. Having a career day with multiple scores and over 140 rushing yards on only 15 carries is a Thor statement. And he also ran routes on 70 percent of Rodgers’ throws. He needs to be started every week! Trade for him! Projection: 95 rushing yards and 2 rushing touchdownsRB Chris Carson, SeattleHe is coming back from injury, and I am assuming he will assume the role of lead back. Don’t get me wrong, this backfield is a timeshare, but I believe he will be the bell cow. Green Bay has allowed a running back to get at least 80 yards in three of the last four games. Projection: 65 rushing yards and 1 touchdown Abry Jones Jersey , and 5 receptions for 30 yards WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Green BayRandall Cobb is out. Marquez has solidified his position as the number two man. Seattle has given up a 100 yard receiver in three straight games. Matt and I disagree a bit on his stat line.Matt Projection: 5 receptions for 65 yards and 1 touchdownBrian Projection: 7 receptions for 80 yards and 2 touchdownsWR Tyler Lockett, SeattleHe has scored in 7 of the 9 games this season, which is amazing. He also only had 5 targets or fewer in three of the last four so he is kinda risky, but is the best option in this Seahawks arsenal. The Packers have been generous to receivers, allowing them to get to at least 70 yards in the last five games.For the record, I think Lockett gets two touchdowns.Projection: 6 receptions for 51 yards and 1 touchdownTE Jimmy Graham, Green BayThe matchup isn’t the best as the Seahawks are pretty good against opposing tight ends, and he is hampered by a knee injury. However, with this new found running game courtesy of Jones, I foresee a play action game. Graham should benefit from this with a red zone touchdown. Projection: 4 receptions for 41 yards and 1 touchdownK Mason Crosby, Green BayI know what you were saying, Crosby only got seven points last week. He isn’t playing well. I shouldn’t start him. Calm down and relax. Crosby did get a lot of kicking opportunities, they just happen to be extra points. He is on a high-powered offense and sometimes the offense is going to be really efficient. However, I do think the Seahawks will stop the Packers a couple times in scoring position, and therefore Crosby kicks field goals. If you haven’t been paying attention, we love Mason.Projections: 2 for 2 on field goals and 5 for 5 on extra pointsSITRB Mike Davis, SeattleHe had a good run folks. Rashaad Penny is finally playing well, showing us why the Seahawks took him in the first round. He isn’t going away https://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Yannick-Ngakoue-Jersey , and with Carson coming back I don’t think there’ll be many opportunities for Mike Davis. He may get a goal line touchdown, but I’m not taking that risk in starting him especially with the playoffs right around the corner. Projection: 45 total yards WR Doug Baldwin, SeattleI am starting him in one of my leagues because I’m imacted by the byes and the league is pretty deep. But that doesn’t mean I like it. If you have him I recommend sitting him. He did say that his knee issues are one hundred percent in the past, and it doesn’t affect him anymore, Still, he’s not the same Doug Baldwin of the past. Wilson is giving him roughly 5 targets a game, and that is not going to cut it. He also still hasn’t gotten a touchdown, so I want to see it before I believe it.Projection: 4 receptions for 45 yardsWR Equanimeous St. Brown, Green BayHe has probably the coolest name in the NFL, but that won’t give him looks from Rodgers. I know with Randall Cobb being out he has the opportunity to be the number three receiver in this offense, I just think Green Bay will try to be more balanced in between the run and pass.Projection: 3 receptions for 36 yardsK Sebastian Janikowski, SeattleHe’s had five field goals in the last five games. The offense is moving but not stalling. I also believe this offense will score a lot of touchdowns in this game leaving little field goal opportunities. Projection: 1 for 1 on field goals and 5 for 5 on extra points Green Bay and Seahawks Defenses Do you seriously think this will be a defensive battle of attrition? If so, nothing I say will convince you otherwise.Matt didn’t mention this, but I think one of these defenses gets a score off their turnover. But in the long run does that matter?Projection for Packers: 38 points allowed with 2 sacks and 1 turnover Projection for Seahawks: 41 points allowed with 3 sacks and 1 turnover JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars are counting on newcomer Carlos Hyde to help veteran Blake Bortles.The Jaguars (3-4) believe Hyde’s physical running style will pay immediate dividends, especially for their embattled quarterback.“People are brought here or drafted and developed here to play a certain type of football,” coach Doug Marrone said. “Not to say that we can’t play any other way, but that’s what we have worked on. If we can play to the identity that we want to play, then we feel that will help us become a better team and start winning some games.”Jacksonville acquired Hyde from Cleveland last week in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick and expects the Browns’ leading rusher to play a significant role against Philadelphia (3-4) in London.Bortles could be the beneficiary.The fifth-year pro has really struggled the last three weeks Carson Tinker Color Rush Jersey , turning the ball over eight times and throwing just two touchdown passes. He fumbled twice in last week’s 20-7 loss to Houston , leading to 10 points and his benching. Cody Kessler finished the game, but was sacked four times in five drives, fumbled once and threw an interception.Marrone opened up the quarterback job following the game, but decided less than 24 hours later to stick with Bortles .The coach made it clear that he doesn’t see Bortles as the only problem. Injuries have been the main culprit, with Jacksonville down two left tackles, two tight ends, two running backs and receiver. Receivers also have dropped passes, and the offensive line has been shaky at best.The entire offense was built around Leonard Fournette, a physical runner who sets the tone and takes pressure off Bortles and the passing attack. Without him, the Jaguars have looked lost on that side of the ball.Hyde should help.“I run angry, downhill, smash-mouth football,” said Hyde, who has 382 yards rushing and five touchdowns this season. “That’s been my game ever since I started playing this game, so I think I’ll fit in perfect here.”The Jaguars are counting on it.“You can never replace a guy like Fournette, but if there’s anybody who can do so, you look at a guy like him,” safety Tashaun Gipson said. “You talk about a physical DJ Chark Jersey , angry, downhill runner. He leaves the games and you look up and he had 85 (yards) on a day, a physical, tough 85. That’s the type of mentality that you want to bring. That’s what helps this offense thrive.“I don’t know what can happen and what spark he may bring, but I’m hoping it’s a spark that we need. Obviously, this team can definitely use a spark. I hope they give him the ball many, many times. I had to tackle him, so good luck to the guys in Philly that got to tackle him.”The Jaguars pushed Bortles’ weekly media session to Friday in London, where he gets his first chance to talk about regaining the starting job for the second time in 14 months. Marrone also benched Bortles during the 2017 preseason, only to name him the starter nine days later.Fournette and the ground game was a big key to Bortles’ success last season, especially in the postseason.The Jags hope Hyde will have the same effect on him.“I believe in him, I always have,” team captain and defensive end Calais Campbell said. “He’s earned that right. I know as of late he hasn’t been playing as good as he could, but earlier this year he was playing some really good ball. I see it in him all the time.“He’s hot and cold like anybody else. Hopefully we can get him on a hot streak here and turn this corner. When he’s doing it well, it’s nice to watch and nice to see and he sparks the whole team; the defense feeds off it.”
