It may have taken the Cincinnati Bengals a while to find a defensive coordinator for new head coach Zac Taylor
Womens Jake Fisher Jersey , but the rest of the coaching staff is now rounding into form.The team announced on Thursday the hiring of Nick Eason
(defensive line), Tem Lukabu (linebackers), Brad Kragthorpe (offensive
assistant), and Jordan Kovacs (defensive quality control) to their coaching
staff with Todd Hunt and Garrett Swanson joining the team as assistant strength
and conditioning coaches.All six coaches come to the Bengals from positions in
college football, though Eason and Lukabu have prior NFL coaching
experience.Eason spent 2018 at Austin Peay University and had accepted a job at
Vanderbilt for 2019 before joining the Bengals. He previously spent four years
with the Tennessee Titans as a defensive line coach from 2014-17.Lukabu was the
linebackers coach at Mississippi State last season. He has previously served as
a defensive quality control coach with the San Francisco 49ers (2016-17) and
defensive assistant with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2012-13).Kragthorpe was an
offensive coaching analyst at LSU last season after spending the prior two
seasons at Utah State.Kovacs was a graduate assistant under Jim Harbaugh at
Michigan the last two seasons. He played three seasons for the Miami Dolphins at
safety (2013-15).Hunt and Swanson come to the Bengals after being with the
University of Illinois. With three games on Thursday, fantasy football players
need to get their lineups in place before scarfing on turkey and pie.This week
looks to have less potential than previous weeks for scoring, with the
Falcons-Saints game on Thursday night shaping up to have the most fantasy
upside.Playoff time in most fantasy leagues is looming, which makes this a
make-or-break week for many teams.START: T.Y. Hilton, WR, Colts: Questions about
his hamstrings were emphatically put to rest when he torched the Titans with
nine receptions for 138 yards and two scores last week. After recording just 15
targets in a three-game span
Womens Carl Lawson Jersey , Hilton has 16 in his last two games and faces a Dolphins pass defense that is 29th in the league in average yards allowed per
reception. A dialed-in Andrew Luck (seven straight games with at least three
touchdown passes) will have no problem finding his featured pass catcher.SIT:
Deshaun Watson, QB, Texans: Take away his five-TD performance against the
Dolphins in Week 8, and Watson has just six touchdown passes in his past five
games. That doesn’t bode well against a Titans defense that still ranks fourth
in fewest fantasy points allowed per game despite being lit up by the Colts last
week. Watson no longer offers the bonus of running the ball, which makes him
sideline material for fantasy players this week.START: Duke Johnson Jr., RB,
Browns: He’s once again RB2/flex viable in PPR formats after catching all 13 of
his targets for 109 yards and three touchdowns in his last two games. Expect the
good times to continue for Johnson and his fantasy owners, who get a plum
matchup against the Bengals, who are 31st in fantasy points allowed per game to
opposing running backs. Cincinnati is also 31st in receiving yards allowed and
rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield is improving.SIT: Alex Collins, RB
http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-kevin-huber-jersey , Ravens: Collins is too touchdown-dependent to garner much value and has seen his
touches decline since getting 19 carries in Week 6, falling to just seven last
week against the Bengals. The unexpected rise of Gus Edwards makes an
already-crowded Baltimore backfield more cramped, which means Collins will see
limited touches against a Raiders defense that is 31st in rushing yards
allowed.START: Carson Wentz, QB, Eagles: Don’t be discouraged by Wentz’s poor
effort in the loss at the Saints. With the Eagles ranked 25th in rushing and
their chances of defending their Super Bowl crown beginning to slip away, expect
Wentz to throw at will against a Giants defense that he lit up for three
touchdowns in Week 6. There’s little chance of Zach Ertz catching just two
passes or Golden Tate being a nonfactor in consecutive weeks, so bank on Wentz
rebounding.SIT: Emmanuel Sanders, WR, Broncos: After consecutive 100-yard games
in Weeks 6 and 7, Sanders has flattened to a combined 160 yards in his last
three games. He has suffered without having Demaryius Thomas taking coverage
away. And with rookie Courtland Sutton starting to see more targets in his
direction
http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-randy-bullock-jersey , Sanders has fallen from a solid WR2 to a borderline flex. Although the Steelers
are 28th in receiving yards allowed, Sanders’ recent struggles aren’t
encouraging enough to take the gamble.START: Tre’Quan Smith, WR, Saints: The 13
targets he had in the win over the Eagles was the same number he had in his
previous three games combined. Smith won’t have to wait long to exploit a
vulnerable secondary, as the Falcons defense he’ll see Thanksgiving night is
29th in fantasy points allowed per game to opposing receivers while giving up 21
touchdown passes. He’s a strong flex option who is another good game or two away
from being a legit WR2.SIT: Aaron Jones, RB, Packers: There’s little debate that
Jones is now Green Bay’s lead back. However, he has yet to record more than 15
carries in a game this season and his matchup against the Vikings appears to be
the splash of cold water that stalls him after scoring four times in the last
two games. Minnesota is fourth overall against the run and has allowed only five
touchdowns on the ground, meaning Jones will need to deliver as a pass catcher
to justify having him in the lineup.START: Jordan Reed, TE
Womens Nick Vigil Jersey , Redskins: His production perked up once Colt McCoy replaced the injured Alex Smith at quarterback, resulting in Reed catching
his first touchdown since Week 1. The Cowboys are middle of the pack when it
comes to stopping tight ends, although the memory of Ertz pulling in 15 catches
for Philadelphia against Dallas two weeks ago should be a good reason why Reed’s
fantasy numbers will continue to swing upward.SIT: Anthony Miller, WR, Bears:
With Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) unlikely to play against the Lions on
Thanksgiving, Miller’s run of two straight games with a touchdown catch has a
strong chance to end, especially if Chicago focuses its attention toward
Detroit’s 22nd-ranked run defense.START: Eli Manning, QB, Giants: The Eagles
secondary is in worse shape than when Manning passed for 281 yards against them
in the first meeting this season. With Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham Jr
putting up solid numbers of late, Manning should have a field day on a Philly
defense that is 27th in fantasy points allowed per game.SIT: LeSean
McCoy
John Miller Jersey White , RB, Bills: Don’t count on McCoy putting up 110 yards and two scores against the Jaguars, whose run defense is stouter than
the Jets run D that McCoy ripped up in Week 10. Even with a big workload, that’s
a matchup fantasy owners should avoid.
