 Risk and Reward-Thursday Games

I wished to give my take on the DEN vs IND Thursday Game

Risk and Reward-Thursday Games Analysis will include:

• Game Script
• Defense against the Position (DAP) Data
• Non-PPR and PPR Rankings (100 to 0) Green to Red
• My Risk Assessments for each Player (High, Mid, and Low Risk)

I have constructed these data charts below to maximize your visual view of the entire game landscape. Use thoughtfully. My philosophy is less is more? I will hit the highlights but will not give you the same old tired pundit driven opinions.

DEN

Den gets an easy matchup with a nice 2.8 Overall DAP. Sieman, however, fights a -3.3 QB DAP and that limits his production tonight! He is a high-risk QB ranked at 24.

The WRs fight a slightly tough -0.6 W DAP and Thomas is the expected scorer tonight. He is a low risk 87. A solid play! The Other WRs are mid to high-risk tonight. Long shots for sure in your play! WRs get 2 scores!

The TEs have a shot at PPR goodness vs a +0.29 TE DAP! Traylor is the best TE on board for a score at mid-risk 43!

The RBs of Den have been flat in the last few weeks. They see an average game and might get a score. CJ Anderson is low risk 72. Booker is high risk 54 ranking. he seems to be on track earlier in the season but seemed to regress!

——————————————————————-

IND

Brissett gets to contend into an easy 0.22 DAP! He goes against a -1.9 QB DAP! He should get 2X scores tonight!

The WR fight into a tough -3.6 WR DAP and Hilton is mid risk 76! He can score but is risky! The Other WRs are high-risk tonight! Game key for IND to win!

Jack Doyle has a great shot at delivering a score tonight. Play him as a strong play at low risk 93!

Gore and Mack get the best shot at collecting touchdowns tonight vs a +0.76 RB DAP. I expect yards and scores form them. Gore is a mid risk and lower floor than Mack. He is ranked at 73. Mack is a low risk 52 and if allowed could break some good runs tonight!
