Startem sitem 2016 week 14 Thursday

By Brad Kruse
Brad Kruse Derek Carr QB OAK KC START

Carr has had 8 of 12 startable weeks and in this matchup there isn't a lot of boarderline players to push up or down so I'll go with Carr to put in his 4th consecutive 20+ point week. His 4 non 20+ point weeks have all been under 15 points so his variance is high, but although KC is a solid defense and are very opportunistic, Carr should be able to find his targets. Note one of his four non-startable weeks was a home game vs KC.

Spencer Ware RB KC OAK START
Ware has turned in 4 of 11 startable weeks this season. It feels like he's done better than that, but his good weeks are fantastic and his bad weeks range from 6.7 to 11.6 points. When he gets a good matchup he goes off and this should be a good matchup.

Jeremy Maclin WR KC KC SIT
Maclin looks like he'll return for this divisional matchup. With Kelce playing well and Tyreek Hill filling in admirably I'm not confident that Maclin will resume a target hog role he had last year. He wasn't producing much before the injury so despite a plus matchup I'll fade Maclin this week.
