Should I start Burrow at home against Seattle or Goff @TB?

I'm leaning Burrow.

Yeah, I think so.

In my other league I'm debating Geno @ Cin, Dobbs @ Rams, or a QB TBD that I might be picking up on the waiver wire. I don't want to announce it as Stranger might be lurking... All three have a strong case, but the last guy will be home, which might be the topper.
(Announcement tomorrow if I get him.)

My choices:
Gino @ Cin
Dobbs @ Rams
Commanders @ Ridder

I'm leaning Ridder right now.
-He's the only one at home.
-He only plays well at home.
-Commanders are 31st against the pass.
-He's coming off a big week.
-However, he has sucked all but one week (last week)

Gino is still slightly banged up and Cincy might "be back.
Dobbs' magical ride ended last week against Cincy, and is on the road against a middle of the road Rams D.

Deshaun is "hurt" although cleared by the doctors. He hasn't practiced and I'd wager he's looking to avoid playing against juggernaut SF.

Good story about Dallas K Brandon Aubrey

He played soccer in college at Notre Dame, then had a very short pro career in the US.
After being released from the Bethlehem Steel FC in 2018, Aubrey decided to use the degree he got at Notre Dame to become a software engineer. While watching an NFL game in 2019, a placekicker missed a field goal and his wife told him: "You could do that." From 2019 to 2022, Aubrey worked with a kicking coach regularly to become a high-level kicker and try out for a pro team.[6]
He's now 14/14 (6/7 XP) for Dallas this year.

That's awesome. I knew he had a story because they mentioned it during last night's SNF, but they didn't get detailed.

That reminds me of sooooo many wins during the Tomlin era.

Also, the Panthers score makes all the sense in the world. I bet on the Dolphins...

I heard this morning that no rookie has ever gotten past game 6 without throwing a pick. That tracks as Stroud has finally thrown a pick.

My opponent had to start Stroud because his other QBs are: Aaron Rodgers, Anthony Richardson, and Kyler Murray.

I'm still losing.

My primary team is losing. They have quit on me.

My secondary team (which is for more money, I don't know why I call them secondary) is winning.

Mostert pulled my team into having a chance. Decent games from Hurts, Lamb, and the Cowboys' D and I can get a win.

Tyreek Hill should be given a $25k bonus for that flip, not a 15 yard penalty.

Eagles lose to Jets. SF lose to Browns.

This Israel thing really is going to be the end of times.

SF losing to the Browns is the most hilarious thing. They spent all that money on Deshaun, he obviously ducked this game, and they won without him.

Also, if you didn't see it, SF missed a FG at the end to win.

The numbers speak for themselves, folks. Entering Sunday, the Browns ranked first in defensive efficiency, according to ESPN's Football Power Index. They ranked 30th in offense. They've allowed a total of 1,002 yards so far this season. Only two teams since the 1970 merger allowed fewer yards in their first five games -- the 1971 Colts and 1970 Vikings. These are practically prehistoric numbers the Browns are putting up on defense.
