Liz Loza shares her thoughts on birthdays, community, Kirk Cousins' downturn and some short-term outlooks for Aaron Jones, Tony Pollard, Amari Cooper, Mike Evans, Jameson Williams and Michael Mayer.
Liz Loza breaks down how to assess Vikings WR Jordan Addison while Justin Jefferson is out with an injury. is a passion for many. Sometimes that passion causes fantasy managers to make emotional decisions even when the data suggests otherwise. Each week during the 2023 NFL season Liz Loza will attempt to strike a balance between what the data states and what the heart wants. This is called Facts vs. Feelings.That's all I've got, really. I'm not a big"birthday" person.
When I arrived, however, and was met with genuine smiles and warm hugs and incredibly strong pumpkin spiced martinis. All of that anxiety dissipated and was replaced by simple joy. For the first time since joining the company 14 months prior, I felt like a legitimately ensconced member of the crew. And that was the best birthday present I could have ever received.
Cousins wasn't the only NFC North player to start 2023 hot. Aaron Jones appeared poised to crush his sixth-round draft value, serving up 127 scrimmage yards and two scores in the season opener at Chicago. Despite exiting early with a hamstring injury Jones closed out Week 1 as FF's RB1, making Dead Zone believers giddy with validation and anticipation. Since then, however, the 28-year-old has logged a total of six touches .
After a pair of down efforts, Tony Pollard cracked the top-12 fantasy players at the position in Week 6. A relatively normal game script helped stabilize the offense and increase Pollard's touches. His 110 scrimmage yards certainly appear solid on paper. Speaking of byes, I did not anticipate DeShaun Watson sitting in Week 6 after having Week 5 off. And I definitely did not think Amari Cooper was going to go off for over 100 yards with P.J. Walker under center. Sure, most of Cooper's yardage came on a 58-yard grab in the first half, but that's still evidence of elevated play from a wideout who has spent the bulk of his career underwhelming given his first-round draft status.
