I agree about Kessler, I think he should be seeing the majority of the snaps coming in. But trading assets to get McCarron, who's really still an unknown quantity, when you're likely to be drafting a QB (or a few), seems pointless.

For sure, but he hasn't practiced in weeks. Just now getting healthy. Not really fair to him to throw him into the fire cold.

You should be completely thrilled that the Broncos are the next team on your schedule because it doesn't matter who the QB is, you're going to 8-1.....

That defense though......it will be closer than it seems like it should be.

I've seen the Chiefs getting raked over the coals for only putting up 29 points and winning by 10. I'd like to know who all these other teams are that are getting more than 29 points against Denver. Chiefs certainly could have won by more, but it's like people forget how good the Denver defence is. Yes they've given up 20 plus in 3 straight but they had Defensive or special teams TD's against them in all of these games.

Oh I expect them to harass Wentz, especially with Peters out, but I'll be extremely disappointed if the Eagles don't come away with a win.

Jay Ajayi ran for 200 yards in a game three times last season. The Eagles have had three 200-yard rushing games in their entire history, which spans 1,180 games. (ESPN Stats & Info)

The Broncos are officially ready to Brock. Looking at their schedule I think 7-9 is the absolute best case scenario right now.

I could see them losing out with Siemian.

That said, go Brock. Will never stop rooting for the Kalispell kid.

You're talking about a guy who the Texans gave up a second round pick to get rid of and who was cut by the freaking Browns, and he's going up against one of the best defensive fronts in the league. It's going to be ugly.

What are his sacks numbers? They are through the roof if I remember correctly.

Just looked them up. In 21 games with Denver and Houston he was sacked 50 times for a loss of 357 yards. Eagles D front must be licking their chops. Good week to have Philly as your starting fantasy defence.

Fire up the bongs, Josh Gordon has been conditionally reinstated.

I honestly don't think he can be any worse than Siemian has been the last 3 weeks!

Double brutal for the Texans since the Browns have their first rounder next year. Could be a top 5 pick now.

Unbelievably bad break for the Texans. Crushing. The kid is a surefire star.

Houston has lost arguably their three best players and at worst three of their four best players to injury. That's gotta be almost historically bad luck with injuries.

the ironic thing is that the last one standing of those four is the one that was called a bust early in his career because he was so injury-prone.
