t could be a throwback quarterback matchup fit for 2007. Josh McCown is set to start for the Jets due to a foot sprain suffered by rookie quarterback Sam Darnold. Buffalo’s quarterback situation is so bad that if injured rookie Josh Allen Youth Ryan Groy Jersey , who is recovering from an elbow sprain suffered three weeks ago, is unable to play, then they are hoping that the recently un-retired Derek Anderson can clear concussion protocol in time to avoid another Nathan Peterman start.None of this points to a hotbed of fantasy football activity, but there are certainly some members of Gang Green worth considering for your lineup this week.RB Isaiah CrowellThe Bills have been very hit or miss against running backs this year. When they’ve been good, they’ve been really good, allowing only 12.5, 10, and 13 points combined to the running backs for the Minnesota Vikings, Tennessee Titans, and Houston Texans. However, they have allowed eight different running backs to score in double-figures this year, and they have allowed 3 running backs to surpass the 20-point mark in a week. Crowell has been just as hit or miss, scoring 18 points or more on three occasions. In the other six games in which he’s played, he has not surpassed 6.5 points. He has the kind of explosiveness that could give Buffalo problems Authentic Zay Jones Jersey , especially if the Bills’ offense continues its trend and gifts the Jets solid field position all day long.Jets D/STThis one is pretty self explanatory. Buffalo has allowed 4 defensive touchdowns this season. They only have 8 touchdowns themselves on the year. The Bills have thrown 16 interceptions, lost 6 fumbles, and allowed 33 sacks. If the Jets’ defense is available, pick them up and start them.K Jason MyersThe Jets’ kicker is available in 63% of Yahoo! leagues. Guess who the highest-scoring kicker in fantasy football is this year? If you guessed the Marist College product, then you are correct. Myers has 91 fantasy points, one more than Stephen Gostkowski has. Myers is doing Poughkeepsie proud, playing only 2 hours south of his college digs. If the Bills defense is able to bend and not break, the Red Fox will be in line for a big day. Myers is 20-for-22 on the year, and 10-for-11 on kicks over 40 yards. He’s definitely worth an add.Josh Allen: Throwing velocity analysis Not too long ago, we discussed throwing velocity on sideline passes. Understandably, there was some disappointment that no actual velocities were calculated. I promised to rectify that issue when All-22 angles were available. As was hopefully demonstrated before, the broadcast angles make it very difficult to determine the exact spot of the ball in many cases. Good news everyone! The All-22 is out and we can set the stage for accurate velocity determinations. Let’s select a Josh Allen play and check out the broadcast angle.This isn’t his fastest pass, but it’s a decently quick toss over the middle. This play will set the stage for how this works and give a window into how we can trust the accuracy of these calculations. Let’s use some pauses and make some guesses on the broadcast angle. On the first pause we have the release from Josh Allen. There’s a good degree of confidence of the yard line being at the 28. There’s less confidence on whether it’s over the hash or not. It appears to be near that, but it’s tough to tell exactly. To give an idea of how much error this can introduce Womens Marcus Murphy Jersey , the hash marks alone are two feet wide. Basically “over the hash mark” is already kinda vague. When the ball hits Logan Thomas’s hands, we can safely say the ball is to the left of the other hash, but how far has pretty low reliability on this angle. The ball looks to be over the 48. Let’s introduce the All-22 feed. The GIF shows the most important bits. Allen’s hand and the ball is actually about a foot to the right of the hash. At the point of impact, Logan Thomas is closer to the hash mark than I would have guessed based on the broadcast angle. The end result is a much better look at travel distance than any one angle would have provided. For the other variable, time: The hardware/software combination I’ve been using was tested for reliability. Essentially, a game clock was recorded over several trials to determine if the selected frame rates represented their real time. There was a minor discrepancy and the data was rectified based on this. As a result of the above, the velocity of 49 mph should be very close to the truth. What’s impressive isn’t the flat out speed, it’s more that Allen looks pretty casual about it. Most importantly, now that the methodology has been set and accuracy increased, we can look at throws as they come up. Next time a pass is coming in hot and you’re curious how fast it was, give me a shout and maybe you’ll get your answer.
