Seattle. Would take Denver if they were at home but I can't see them beating the twelveth man.

Need to bench one of the following players for fantasy: Desean Jackson, Julian Edelman, and Darren Sproles.

Who should I bench? Sproles has been an absolute monster, and even as McCoy's backup, he's still going to get a ton of touches in the Eagles offense, so I see him as being pretty consistently solid every week. Edelman is the Pats' #1 WR at this point, and Gronk is still limited, so Edelman is going to get a lot of playcalls too.

Jackson hasn't done much through the first 2 weeks, he's got an injured shoulder, and he's generally always been a pretty inconsistent player. But, he's one of those guys that could catch a defense napping once, and go off for a 75 yard TD reception. And the Eagles defense isn't that great.

Kind of struggling on this one, but I'm leaning towards benching Jackson. What do you guys think?

Bring on the games! Sick of covering crap that isn't actual football.

Report is Doug Martin is not expected to play tonight, which means Rainey would get the majority of the carries.

....which is great news for Tampa Bay since Rainey gives them the best chance of winning. Martin is horrible and has been since coming into the league outside of one game vs Oakland.

Expecting another terrible Thursday night game. Don't plan on watching a minute of this.

Why does TNF always have to be so bad? Can't remember the last decent game. I really though Ravens/Steelers would be but that was a stinker too.

Other than Atlanta fans, Tampa fans, and people who's fantasy teams are affected, I doubt anyone is excited for tonight.

Anyway, I take the Falcons 35-7

[Bank Shot]

I'm only going to watch because I'm starting Rainey in fantasy but I think it's going to be closer than people think. Atlanta's run D looks horrendous and Rainey dropped 167 yards and 3 TDs the last time these two teams played. If TB can control the clock and keep Ryan and those receivers off the field they have a shot.

JC is somehow back practicing. Fat Andy clearly has zero idea what a high ankle sprain is.

I am starting McCown so I'll switch back and forth between this and the college game.

Well he will have to throw it now if anything good has come out of this but then again that could end not so well.

[truth18]

Just checked the score.

Yup, its Thursday night. Definitely made the correct decision to not watch a minute of this.

35-7 may have even been conservative. This could end in the 40s.

[TheKingofSting]

28-0, I got the pick right but must have been drunk when I picked TB's qb to start in fantasy.

[Geddy]

Mike Smith left hanging

[RIPskaterdude]

I picked up and started Rainey since Martin is out

I have Martin, he may get another chance after tonight, there was a report out earlier that Rainey may be the new starter even if Martin was healthy.
