Government shutdown or not, America's Team continues to roll!
We're now riding a four-game winning streak and sitting atop our division at 4-1. We got just enough of what we needed from Julio Jones on Monday night to overcome Molly Qerim's team, who was led by another Peyton Manning fantasy outburst. Then, for whatever reason, our team struck a nerve with the fantasy gods. Who can predict that fickle bunch?
As I look at Julio Jones in our lineup this week, his next opponent is listed as "Bye." And that's exactly what we have to do -- say goodbye to him since his season is very likely over. That really hurts since Jones was reliable scorer who rarely took a week off. Pyrrhic victory, indeed.
The good news is we've got options. Kenbrell Thompkins seems to care a little more about playing hard lately, and both Jason Smith and Michael Fabiano are itching to make a trade with us. Jason even offered one this morning that will be discussed in more detail on Fantasy LIVE. So, jump in on the discussion. Should we just stick with Kenbrell to replace Julio? We have two productive TEs, but only start one, so should we try to trade Rob Gronkowski or Martellus Bennett in order to get a more capable WR in return?
Now, on to the guys who should have plenty of motivation to come out strong in Week 6.
