my other choices are Sony Michel, Josh Gordon, Spencer Ware, or Mark Ingram.  Thielen is not the sure thing he was in FF.   And Foster is the hottest WR in the NFL.  It goes against conventional wisdom.  Is Foster the better start over Thielen?

I don't trust a rookie receiver, with a rookie QB, versus the hood. 

 

This ^^^

 

I like Foster as someone to use if you got injuries or something or in DFS.  Tough to start him over Thielen when this is Josh first time facing BB.  I’m optimistic, but also cautious this Sunday with the Pats game.

I’d go Foster. not crazy at all. Gilmore is a great lockdown one on one corner but the Pats are using him in zone a lot so there will be opportunities for a speedster. And Daboll has shown a willingness to go for broke. And strangely enough I think better of Foster in the open field than the red zone. Given our field position will suck against Belicheat, Foster is intriguing.

...the Foster kid was smart enough to heed the McDermott wake up call.....up to the active 53, released and resigned to PS.....only to be elevated again to the active 53.....the commitment was NOT there initially, but he is certainly showing up as of late....appearances in 11 games. having started TWO and already has more yards than his entire collegiate career....not bad, eh??............

Worst thing that can happen in the FF playoffs is to try and get cute.  Go with what got you there.

 

At least until Week 17, when all the guys who got you there have already clinched first round byes and aren't playing. ?

New England will look to stop Allen and Foster.  They will try to keep Allen in the pocket and provide more shifting coverage towards Foster.  

 

This could end being Allen's worst game since hes come back.  Certainly will be challenging, I'm excited to see how he responds.

Go Thielen and don't think twice.

He has had three bad weeks... I’ve started foster over him last week and was happy actually went to next stage because of it.

I started McKenzie last 4 weeks and foster. This week Allen will

start with the other two if all are good to go, ?.
