I could slot the fourth guy into FLEX position but that would mean displacing Barkley, Conner or Mixon and I'm not feeling that at all (but am always interested in contrarian takes).
Considerations:
- T.Y. Hilton has hit the end zone on 4 of his 25 targets since coming back from injury and the Indy run game is in tatters. I feel like the best is yet to come with the Luck-Hilton connection.
- JuJu is either going up against the rookie (Ward) or the safety shifted into cornerback position (Randall), while AB will be double covered as usual.
- Cooks has had lackluster numbers in recent weeks after a fast start, but Green Bay is a sieve for opposing WRs to pile up catches and yards.
- Odell is due for a big game and it's hard to imagine ever sitting him. Despite his comparatively underperforming season, to me I just see "regression to the mean" on its way. Not sure if going up against Josh Norman will hurt him (as it did in their first messy encounter) or motivate him. Of the four, I am least likely to sit Odell, but would love to hear an argument for doing so.
Wish I had problems like this every week!
