Re: Semi Choices (QB/TE/DST)
> I’d go either Wentz or Goff, can’t trust Baker as he can easily give you a single digit
> Higbee if you want to be safe - Hooper if you want to roll the dice. Higbee is getting targeted just as much as Woods and more than Cupp in the previous weeks. He’ll get volume his way. Hooper is a tough call because of the matchup but has been outstanding this year. Come playoff time, you generally want to simplify things by playing the guys that got you there and Hooper is one of those guys.
I think SanFran ranks strong against opposing TE’s just because they haven’t faced many teams that have had top end TE’s so neutralizing most teams has been easy. They’ve only really went up against 3 notable TE’s this season according to my evaluation: Cook this past week, Andrews the week prior, and Hollister mid season when Russ had to rely on him and he was producing/being targeted like a true #1. Cook went for 2/64/2, Andrews 3/50/1 & Hollister 8/62/1. So considering Hooper is better than those guys, there is optimism as they did find success themselves. Ridley is out so does that mean more targets going Hooper’s way or easier for SanFran to focus on Hooper? That’s a question you’ll have to ask yourself and ultimately will decide who you’ll play. I do however see the Falcons playing from behind and that does mean more passes. And even on the off chance they get a lead or what not, it won’t be from the ground game because the 49er’s run defense is better than their pass defense + Freeman has been a slouch all season long.
