Free Line-up Season Opener
With most people expecting a rout tonight, it’s difficult to find ways to separate yourself from consensus.
Ronald Jones is severely underpriced. I assume he’s been discounted because the oddsmakers aren’t sure what the exact split will be with the addition of Giovanni Bernard. There could be a growing sentiment that playoff Lenny is here to stay. The further ahead the Bucs are on the scoreboard, the more they will want to run out the clock. Jones established himself as the first and second-down back last year, meaning that he stands to gain the most with an increased emphasis on the running game.
By playing two quarterbacks, we are decreasing the overall depth of the lineup to hedge against a blowout on either side.
