More on the "who will start" issue:
Buffalo:
With Allen probably only playing one drive it's unlikely Kincaid, Coleman or Cook will play more
LA Rams:
McVay rested his stars in 2017 and 2023 and has already said Stafford will miss. So I expect K Williams, Nacua and Kupp to also miss.
Philadelphia:
Coach Siriani has already announced that Barkley won't be playing - even though he only needs 101 yds to break the record for most yds in a season. A SB run is more important.
So I think it's unlikely that A J Brown or Hurts (even if fit) will play.
Pittsburgh:
Will not rest any players. Tomlin has said he wants to get his offence moving better
Not that there are many RDT relevant players.

I was slowly getting to Houston.
[I'm doing this on my phone and it has complications:
when I swap between tabs/apps I lose everything I've typed unless I post it
even then, I have to close the SCC tab and re-open it to successfully edit a post.]
The Houston coach has said he's starting all his players and will "see how the game goes".
It seems that he wants to fine-tune things given they lost their last two - the last one a bad 31-2 loss to Baltimore.
Plus, given they had the wk.14 bye it's not likely they need a rest as much as teams with early byes.
I don't have either Collins or Mixon but if I did there would probably be other players higher on my "must trade" list.

My trades this week:
Barkley -> Irving
A J Brown -> Evans
Tampa Bay need to win.
Irving is now the RB1 and facing a NO defence ranked #30 against RB.
Evans needs 85-odd yds to pass the 1,000 yds for the season and Baker-Mayfield has said he wants to get Evans there.
The current ownership of both is less than 5% so they should be very good PODs.
Update:
I've just noticed that Irving is "questionable".
If he misses I'll bring in Taylor. Also a good home match-up.
Pity both play at 4.00am.

I don't know if anyone would be interested but the Kelce brothers have a podcast/video called New Heights.
Their latest episode is a fairly lengthy conversation with Caitlin Clark which covers a range of topics.
It's almost as much about the Kelce brothers as it is about Caitlin.
I really enjoyed it.

[In case there are non-basketball people here: Caitlin Clark is "a rookie sensation" (so they say) who plays in the WNBA in the USA.
Her impact on the WNBA has been so great that it is commonly known as "the Caitlin Clark effect".]
