We all know how important a good QB is to a team and the Dolphins this year are a prime example.
In the 4 games without Tua Miami scored a grand total of 35 points.
In 7 games with Tua they are averaging 25 ppg - and that includes a 10 point game in wk.02 when Tua was injured.
They have gone from being the worst scoring team after wk.07 to being one of the best scoring teams since then.

Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) questionable for Week 13
Wed, Nov 27th 4:06pm EST
By Chris Schommer
Amon-Ra St. Brown is officially questionable for Week 13 for the Detroit Lions against the Chicago Bears. (Source: Ari Meirov on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: St. Brown will need to pass through pregame activities without any setbacks in order to suit up against the Bears Thanksgiving day. Fantasy managers will need to monitor the star wideout during pregame warmups and if St. Brown is unable to suit up, expect Jameson Williams to move up to WR1 for quarterback Jared Goff against the Bears Thursday.

speaking of no loops,
I need to create some cash to grab Nico Collins, thinking downgrade to rest of season late schedule player for a loop
if anyone has a resource to find the best player for that it would be appreciated
Late season loops are almost impossible to know as the schedule isn't fixed.
In wk.17 there are 10 teams with a "tbd" gametime; in wk.18 all gametimes are "tbd".

Ideally it would be a West Coast team as they are typically scheduled later in fixtures and a preferably a K. LAC have best ROS but they are expensive. I went with Brown LAR.

Looks like another failed "vc" and I'm not happy.
Only real choices were Gibbs or Amon-Ra.
Chose Gibbs: Montgomery "questionable" and Chicago not a great run defence.
So what happens?
Gibbs is having a great 1st half, with 5.30 left in the 2nd qtr he had had 7 carries for 83yds, 1 catch for about 13yds.
After that? He is barely used: 1 carry and 1 catch in the 3rd, 1 carry in the 4th. (Admittedly he had a catch and fumble at the end of the half.)
His grand total: 9 carries for 87yds, 2 catches for 17yds.
Meanwhile the "questionable" Montgomery: 21 carries for 88yds, 3 catches for 36yds.
Note that: 21 carries vs Gibbs' 9 carries for only 1 more yard!
Amon-Ra is also absent in the 2nd half: only 1 target in each of the 3rd and 4th qtrs.
[I think these figures are correct.]
So my "vc" Gibbs has his fewest carries for the season and his lowest RDT score.

I don't understand coaches.
The Detroit offence stalled in the 2nd half and their two best play-makers were virtually ignored.
I wasn't watching the game so I have no idea why, but surely there was a good reason?
Game situation?
Detroit led by 16 at both 1/2 and 3/4 time and they wanted to protect Gibbs and Amon-Ra?

Looking forward to Ravens v Eagles,
Both very similar offenses with explosive plays and star players.
Hope its not a fizzer!
Late game too, getting the fantasy blood pressure up with some popular C in play.
Reckon the D gonna win this one.

The Bears adjusted in the second half and played much better defense but were also aided by several Lions injuries. The Lions were lucky to win. Should have been an overtime game but the Bears totally stuffed their clock management in the last few seconds. Caleb Williams again showed why he will be a franchise QB for the Bears for a long time.

It is annoying when you cannot loop one of your QB. I tend to only VC a QB or premium RB although I jagged Ja'Marr Chase on a big score early in the year when I was forced into a WR loop. I had Tua into Lamar this week and will be happy to take his 50.
