When Alshon Returns

Postby LibertyCountyBrawler » Fri Dec 09, 2016 11:56 am

What do we do with Alshon upon his return from suspension next week?

Is he a must start against that poor GB 2ndary?

I look forward to the week 15 matchups I'm looking at for the semifinals in the playoffs after my bye week.

Rodgers vs the Bears
David Johnson vs Saints
Julio Jones vs SF
Alshon vs Packers

But is Alshon a must start that week?

Weather could be nasty. I currently have him as a starter, but I may bench him.

Alshon is a must start for me where I own him. Just that kind of WR and I don't know that I have better options with more upside

Yeah I'm absolutely starting him against a poor GB secondary given the opportunity. Partially because I don't have any better options haha. But hopefully he comes back hungry and angry, and 100% healthy after not playing for 4 weeks, ready to make an impact.

Given how capped his ceiling already has been this season, I see him as nothing more than a high floor WR3.

I am considering starting him as well for team 1 in sig, just not thrilled about it. I love the match up with GB though.

I was leaning toward benching him a couple of weeks ago with the season he's had. But now that there's very few pass catchers healthy for Chicago he may be a target hog by default. I think it's risky, and the weather could indeed be poor, but I may be starting him with few better options on my bench.

Of course, this is in my keeper league and not my dynasty team in sig. I unfortunately missed the playoffs this year in that one.

I need to start Alshon, DT, or Ware at my flex for my semifinal matchup. Kind of feel like I want to see how he plays first and maybe plug him in if I make he championship. Have Rawls too, if he looks good again this week. Not real comfortable with any of my options at flex, but it could be worse for sure.

Obviously team dependent, but in all but the shallowest of leagues I rarely have a situation where Alshon will not be at least my WR4.

In the one league I own Alshon in, I have Jordy, Odell, Moncrief, Tyrell, Boyd, Fuller and Watkins, so even though we play 2wrs and 2flexes and its a 2pt ppr league, he may still not crack my starting lineup. I need to make it to week 15 first. As an aside, where do you guys think Alshon ends up next year? Still a bear or somewhere else?

I own Alshon in 3 leagues and the only league I'd be forced to start him is one that I'm only in the consolation bracket. The two leagues that I'm contending in, I have a plethora of other options and will only start him if something crazy happens and I'm forced to. He's a WR3 with a bit of upside to me.

I feel like Alshon might be a pretty solid buy option this offseason. I bought in a couple leagues before the season for what I thought was pretty cheap but I think his value has gone down since then. Seems most are valuing him like an early 1st which I think is a great opportunity to buy.
I own him on a few teams as well but I am not hopeful those teams are on the right side of week14 playoff matchups. I hope I get a chance to load him up in the playoffs...

I wish he was done for the season. Now I'll be forced to start him and will pay the price for it.
