It feels like every player at a skill position on either side of the ball is listed as questionable on the injury report this week. We’ve seen a ton of injuries already and a lot of guys going out there at less than 100%.
We’ve also seen the major decrease in scoring that I talked about last week, as defenses are actively looking to slow down the passing game with a lot of zone and a lot less man coverage.
Offensive coordinators and quarterbacks will make their adjustments and we should see scoring pick up at some point, but so far, the defensive schemes have created more opportunities for running backs.
Hopefully you’ve taken note of some of the league-wide trends we’ve seen. Let’s see if any of them factor into this week’s prop selections.
