Current standings: Kyle B.: 11-4Frank: 10-5Jake and Sage: 9-6Dustin, Kyle A., Logan, Vasilis and Baltimore Beatdown readers: 8-7Zach: 5-10An analysis of the Baltimore Beatdown staff picksConsensus winnersChargers over the Bills (LAC -7.5)Saints defeat the Browns (NO -8.5)Rams beat the Cardinals (LAR -13.0)In a league characterized by parity, it is no surprise that few teams are favored across the board. With Buffalo embarrassed in Week 1 by Baltimore, the Chargers are heavy favorites, despite the difficulty west coast teams often experience with 1:00 pm EST kick off times. While the Browns did not lose in their season opener, they also did not secure a victory. Baltimore Beatdown anticipates that Drew Brees and company will rebound from the shocking offensive display put on by the Buccaneers http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/authentic-marshal-yanda-jersey , leaving Cleveland still searching for their first W since the 2016 season. Even with the return of star running back David Johnson, Arizona was abysmal in Sam Bradford’s debut as a Cardinal, which is reflected in line for the Rams.‘Lone wolf’ picksFrank is the only contributor to pick the Lions to beat the 49ers. (SF -6.0)Just Dustin believes the Raiders will win against the Broncos. (DEN -6.0)The Beatdown staff is not sounding any alarms on Jimmy Garoppolo just yet, with only Frank choosing against San Francisco to beat a Lions team that was booed by their home crowd in a Monday Night Football loss to the Jets in Week 1. The Raiders, who also dropped their Monday night contest, are predicted to still have issues generating pressure against quarterback Case Keenum without the services of Khalil Mack. Who remains undefeated?Six out of 9 writers think the Ravens will improve to 2-0, knocking off the Bengals to take an early lead in the AFC North. (CIN -1.0)The majority of the Beatdown staff thinks the Redskins will defeat the Colts, even though Andrew Luck completed 73.6 percent of his passes in a Week 1 loss to Cincinnati. (WSH -6.0)Seven out of 9 staffers favor the Super Bowl champion Eagles to take down Tampa Bay, despite the fact that a struggling Nick Foles will be starting since Carson Wentz is still not cleared for contact. (PHI -3.5)The Vikings have the edge over the Packers, given Aaron Rodgers knee injury and Minnesota’s strong defense headlined by Xavier Rhodes. (GB -1.0)Over 77 percent of the staff thinks Sam Darnold will win his second start as Jet and that Ryan Tannehill will fall to 1-1 in his comeback campaign from an ACL injury. (NYJ -3.0)100 percent of Baltimore Beatdown believes the Rams defeat the Cardinals in Week 2. (LAR -13.0)Five of 9 writers think New England wins in Jacksonville. This match up is more of a toss up with the uncertainty at the wide receiver position for the Patriots and the elite play of the Jaguars defense. (NE -1.0)Over 88 percent of the staff feels Denver will leave Jon Gruden at 0-2 in his return to coaching.

QUARTERBACKS:START: Cam Newton Cheap Maurice Canady Jersey , Carolina PanthersMatchup: vs. BuccaneersWeek 8 Stats: 219 Passing YDS, 2 Passing TD, 52 Rushing YDS, 1 Rushing TD, 28 PTSCam Newton has been electric this season. The emergence of rookie wideout D.J. Moore and the development of former Michigan standout Devin Funchess, paired with the continued rise of last year’s star rookie Christian McCaffrey, has given Newton the best arsenal he has ever had at his disposal. Look for him to dissect the Tampa Bay defense, which has given up the fourth most QB FPTS since Week 5.Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty ImagesSIT: Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh SteelersMatchup: @ RavensWeek 8 Stats: 257 Passing YDS, 2 Passing TD http://www.ravenscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-john-brown-jersey , INT, 16.9 PTSBig Ben faces his toughest divisional opponent this Sunday in a hotly contested matchup at M&T Bank Stadium against the Ravens. Baltimore is coming off of a heartbreaking defeat to New Orleans and a blowout loss to Carolina. Look for this one to be a slug fest and a rather low scoring affair.Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty ImagesRUNNING BACKS:START: Adrian Peterson, Washington RedskinsMatchup: vs. FalconsWeek 8 Stats: 149 Rushing YDS, 1 Rushing TD, 1 Reception, 7 Receiving YDS, 1 Receiving TD, 26.6 PTSAdrian Peterson has been the heart and soul of the Redskins offense this season and is a major factor in their continued success. He put up his best stat line of 2018 last week against the Giants, and he faces a depleted Falcons defense this weekend that has given up the second most FPTS per game to opposing running backs. Photo by Al Bello/Getty ImagesSIT:Tevin Coleman, Atlanta FalconsMatchup: vs. RedskinsTevin Coleman faces his toughest matchup so far this season against a stout Washington front seven that has held Christian McCaffrey Sam Koch Jersey , Ezekiel Elliott, Alvin Kamara and Saquon Barkley to under 40 rushing yards each in the last four games. Keep him on your bench.Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty ImagesWIDE RECEIVERS:START: Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles RamsMatchup: @ SaintsAfter missing the past two contests with a sprained MCL, Sean McVay announced that his second year wideout is expected to suit up for the afternoon clash against the Saints. Keep an eye on the injury reports to make sure Kupp is active.Photo by Stephen Brashear/Getty ImagesSIT: Amari Cooper, Dallas CowboysMatchup: vs. TitansAfter sitting out two straight weeks due to byes after being traded to Jerry World, Amari Cooper will get his first shot as Dak Prescott’s main man on the outside. Cooper is also coming off of a concussion from Week 6, so this is not the ideal week to slot him into your lineup, even with the large amount of teams on byes this week. He is a high boom or bust option, and I have a gut feeling is it going to be the latter.Kirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsTIGHT ENDS:START: David Njoku, Cleveland BrownsMatchup: vs. ChiefsAfter topping 50 yards in four straight games Cheap Maxx Williams Jersey , Njoku was held without a single target in Week 8 against the Steelers. He was limited last week in practice and that may have contributed to his lesser role. With Hue Jackson no longer in Cleveland, look for Baker Mayfield to excel, which should translate into success for his favorite target.Jonathan Dyer-USA TODAY SportsSIT: Jordan Reed, Washington RedskinsMatchup: vs. FalconsWeek 8 Stats: 7 Receptions, 38 YDS, 10.8 PTSAs much as I love Jordan Reed, you cannot trust him in fantasy football at this current time. The only reliable option in the nation’s capital is the previously mentioned, Adrian Peterson. Reed’s targets are way too inconsistent, and it is almost as if they do not want to prioritize his usage with his vast injury history. Keep him out of your lineups until further notice.Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY SportsThursday Night Football Preview: Oakland Raiders (1-6) vs. San Francisco 49ers (1-7)RaidersDerek Carr: StartJalen Richard: FlexDoug Martin: SitJordy Nelson: StartMartavis Bryant: SitJared Cook: StartRaiders D/ST: Sit49ersC.J.
