Alright we are headed into the most crucial stretch of the year so it's time for another round of #DrewsClues!

Today we'll talk more about the playoffs, who you should be targeting for Weeks 14-16, and then hit a few players and situations.

I'm stoked, let's do it...

1/
We talked last time about defenses. If you don't remember what I said just remember: when you're in the playoffs and need every point you can get it is the WORST feeling in the world to watch your D getting trounced. So make plans now...here are some options...

I know the #Rams are usually rostered by now, but I found them on the wire in a league this week (12tms) and their playoff schedule is nice - NWE, NYJ, and Seattle (not great but they did well v. Russ this past week). Grab them if they're out there

Other options:

#Dolphins - still being slept on, grab them for these games - Wk11 Den; Wk12 NYJ; Wk13 Cin; Wk 15 NWE

#Giants - another underrated defense - Wk 12 Cin; Wk 15 Cle; Wk 16 Bal (meh, but not as bad as it once was)

#DrewsClues
4/
#Eagles - Week 16 - Dallas

#Niners - Wk 14 Wash; Wk 15 Dal

#Browns - Wk 15 NYG; Wk 16 NYJ

#Bills - Wk 15 Den; Wk 16 NWE

#Cardinals - Wk 14 NYG; Wk 15 Phi; Wk 16 SFO

#Chargers - Wk 16 Den

I talked about kickers last time. Most leagues still use them. Try and find Kickers who are...
- indoors for the playoffs
and/or
- on good offenses that have trouble in the RZ

#JasonSanders is the guy I keep seeing on the wire right now. He shouldn't be there. Go get him.

There is another side to the playoff problem that is even more impactful - QB matchups. Your other positions should be easier, you just start your guys unless there are extreme circumstances. But at QB you can make a plan. Here are some tough situations in the playoffs...

7/
#JoshAllen - In the first round (Wk14) he draws the Steelers who are 5th toughest against the QB position. Then in Wk16 he draws the Patriots (6th toughest) who he always struggles against (154/0/1 last time). Allen would concern me if you were counting on him.

#DrewsClues
8/
#DeshaunWatson - In Wk14 he draws the Bears who are 3rd toughest against QBs, and then in Wk15 he has the Colts who are the toughest in the league against the position. He has a great Wk16 matchup, but if you don't make it there....

#DrewsClues
9/
#MattRyan - Wk15 he has the Tampa defense that, while not elite v. the pass, has a very good pass rush. In Wk16 he has the Chiefs who have been tough on QBs (7th toughest)

Here are some guys who can fill some holes at QB...

#DrewsClues
10/
#RyanTannehill - Dream matchups to end the year - besides Wk13 against the Browns, he finishes with Jax, Det, and Green Bay in the playoffs 🔥 He's about to play his last tough matchups this week and next, and then it's on from there.

#DrewsClues
11/
#Roethlisberger - Wk 14 Buf; Wk 15 Cin (note the BAD matchup Wk16 v Indy)

#Stafford - Wk 15 - Titans

#Burrow - Wk 16 - Texans

#Minshew - Wk 14 - Titans

#Rivers - Wk 14 - LV; Wk 15 Hou

#DrewsClues
12/
One last guy that people are down on, but should be considered for the stretch: #DanielJones

He has averaged 50 ru yds a gm his last 5 gms and has a TD+ in every one. He gets - Wk12 Cin; Wk 13 Sea🔥; Wk 15 Cle.

Alright, let's hit some individual situations now that we have looked at the "one-sie" positions for the playoffs. Remember - the ones who are prepared, who make their charts, who grind - they don't always win, but they always have the best *chance* to win. Be a killer!

14/
#Arizona RBs: By far the question I get the most: What do we do with Drake and Edmonds now that Drake is back? I'll tell you - I started Edmonds over Drake this past week and it worked out. But here's the problem - it's just a committee....

#DrewsClues
15/
The worst part is that Drake is getting almost NO passing game work but he gets the GL stuff. Edmonds is getting too few carries, but he has out-targeted Drake 38-11 on the year. Drake will be the threat to score in close, but Edmonds has the better floor for the receptions

16/
#Bucs RBs: This is officially a no-brainer if you were thinking otherwise. Fournette's injury opened the door for RoJo to show he can carry the load. 4net will keep getting more checkdown/hurry up stuff, but you can't start him with any confidence in normal size lgs.
