Am I letting my Rams bias get the best of me?

[NJRamsFan]

for fantasy football I’m starting Goff over Watson and Kupp over Jarvis Landry and Emanuel sanders....am I letting my fandom get in the way or is that the right call?

I think it's the right call. I think Watson has had only one or two good games so far this year for fantasy. The rest I don't know.

Well, congrats on having Watson and Goff at QB. That's a pretty nice predicament to have. I would start Watson over Goff this week, but they are really close. I have funny feeling this is the week that McVay unleashes the Rams running game on a Seahawks defense overplaying the passing game on defense. I don't think Goff will be bad, but he could put up 200 and 2 TDs even in a big Rams win. Watson won't have that luxury. There's a decent chance he leads the Texans in rushing and has to throw 40+ passes against the Cowboys.

Those same concerns with Kupp may limit his yardage, but he should be good for his normal 6+ catches with a decent shot at a TD. Landry is going a against a solid Ravens passing defense (he'd still be an OK play, but why not go with your guy?) and Sanders' QB hasn't thrown a TD in almost a month.

I went too for the other way and played Fitzpatrick over Goff last week.
Don't over think it.

Goff and Watson are pretty even, I would start Jarvis over Kupp but I dont think it will be that big of a difference.

 

[Barrison]

Not one bit. Goff and Kupp vs an Earl Thomas-less Seahawks secondary is ripe for the picking!

 

[LARams_1963]

Goff is on fire.... start him!

 

[HitStick]

I have started Goff over Ryan every single week in two different leagues. I currently have the same record as the Rams in both leagues. Coincidence? I think not.

 

[CGI_Ram]

Goff feels like an every week starter, IMO.

 

[Dodgersrf]

Goff is a good start.
It's hard to adjust to the fact that we actually have a great QB.
I find myself having the same doubts as well. It's just habit I guess.

So does Watson minus week one this year he puts up big fantasy numbers almost every start ...that’s why it’s so hard and believe it or not that 50 or so rushing yards adds up

There’s definitely some of that in the back of my head I guess....so many years of being bad I keep expecting us to revert ‍

Goff is 3rd in points and Kupp is 7th in their respective positions. Don’t over think it. Both automatic starts.

 

[Ellard80]

At this point.. if you have Rams starting skills you start them... period.

 

[dang]

I have Goff, Gurley and Woods. Last week I switched to Fitzpatrick at the last minute because I didn't want to be a homer! I lost by 2 pts - never again - I am riding the hot hand!!

I started Tom Lady over Goff for the reasons you describe above. I hope I regret it, but whatevs. Lady did OK....and yes, I have Goff and Lady on my fantasy squad. Suckers in my league didn't want Goff even in late rounds..... Das why I'ma win this bitch.... again

The debate at work was:

Goff @ Seattle

or

Brees vs Washington

People were really wavering on this debate. Shows just how far Goff has come.

 

[Boston Ram]

Goff over Watson

I’m debating Goff, Wentz or Mahomes
