Another Thursday night matchup worth watching. I will romanticize Aaron Rodger and Russell Wilson all day long. Green Bay and Seattle fan bases make this tilt something any NFL fan looks forward to. Though less than less week https://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Austin-Seferian-Jenkins-Jersey , there are studs that you must start unless you somehow drafted a team with insane depth. Considering Wilson’s recent five game run, you’d be crazy not to see him as a must start.Let me add two comments before we move to the recommendations. First, screw you Jaguars defense for making Andrew Luck look better than he deserved, and me looking bad. Second, you can’t put up an obsence stat line, Ryan Fitzpatrick, but not get touchdowns.Winner Matt.Projections for StudsQB Aaron Rodgers, Green BayProjection: 275 yards passing with 3 touchdowns WR Davante Adams, Green BayProjection: 8 receptions for 85 yards and 1 touchdownQB Russell Wilson, SeattleProjection: 235 yards passing, 2 touchdowns, 64 yards rushing, and 1 rushing touchdown START RB Aaron Jones, Green BayHe is finally free! My prayers have been answered! Mike Mccarthy finally came to his senses and gave him a chance. I said it before, he is a stud and proved it last week. Having a career day with multiple scores and over 140 rushing yards on only 15 carries is a Thor statement. And he also ran routes on 70 percent of Rodgers’ throws. He needs to be started every week! Trade for him! Projection: 95 rushing yards and 2 rushing touchdownsRB Chris Carson, SeattleHe is coming back from injury, and I am assuming he will assume the role of lead back. Don’t get me wrong, this backfield is a timeshare, but I believe he will be the bell cow. Green Bay has allowed a running back to get at least 80 yards in three of the last four games. Projection: 65 rushing yards and 1 touchdown, and 5 receptions for 30 yards WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Green BayRandall Cobb is out. Marquez has solidified his position as the number two man. Seattle has given up a 100 yard receiver in three straight games. Matt and I disagree a bit on his stat line.Matt Projection: 5 receptions for 65 yards and 1 touchdownBrian Projection: 7 receptions for 80 yards and 2 touchdownsWR Tyler Lockett Niles Paul Color Rush Jersey , SeattleHe has scored in 7 of the 9 games this season, which is amazing. He also only had 5 targets or fewer in three of the last four so he is kinda risky, but is the best option in this Seahawks arsenal. The Packers have been generous to receivers, allowing them to get to at least 70 yards in the last five games.For the record, I think Lockett gets two touchdowns.Projection: 6 receptions for 51 yards and 1 touchdownTE Jimmy Graham, Green BayThe matchup isn’t the best as the Seahawks are pretty good against opposing tight ends, and he is hampered by a knee injury. However, with this new found running game courtesy of Jones, I foresee a play action game. Graham should benefit from this with a red zone touchdown. Projection: 4 receptions for 41 yards and 1 touchdownK Mason Crosby, Green BayI know what you were saying, Crosby only got seven points last week. He isn’t playing well. I shouldn’t start him. Calm down and relax. Crosby did get a lot of kicking opportunities, they just happen to be extra points. He is on a high-powered offense and sometimes the offense is going to be really efficient. However, I do think the Seahawks will stop the Packers a couple times in scoring position, and therefore Crosby kicks field goals. If you haven’t been paying attention, we love Mason.Projections: 2 for 2 on field goals and 5 for 5 on extra pointsSITRB Mike Davis, SeattleHe had a good run folks. Rashaad Penny is finally playing well, showing us why the Seahawks took him in the first round. He isn’t going away, and with Carson coming back I don’t think there’ll be many opportunities for Mike Davis. He may get a goal line touchdown, but I’m not taking that risk in starting him especially with the playoffs right around the corner. Projection: 45 total yards WR Doug Baldwin, SeattleI am starting him in one of my leagues because I’m imacted by the byes and the league is pretty deep. But that doesn’t mean I like it. If you have him I recommend sitting him. He did say that his knee issues are one hundred percent in the past, and it doesn’t affect him anymore D.J. Hayden Jersey , Still, he’s not the same Doug Baldwin of the past. Wilson is giving him roughly 5 targets a game, and that is not going to cut it. He also still hasn’t gotten a touchdown, so I want to see it before I believe it.Projection: 4 receptions for 45 yardsWR Equanimeous St. Brown, Green BayHe has probably the coolest name in the NFL, but that won’t give him looks from Rodgers. I know with Randall Cobb being out he has the opportunity to be the number three receiver in this offense, I just think Green Bay will try to be more balanced in between the run and pass.Projection: 3 receptions for 36 yardsK Sebastian Janikowski, SeattleHe’s had five field goals in the last five games. The offense is moving but not stalling. I also believe this offense will score a lot of touchdowns in this game leaving little field goal opportunities. Projection: 1 for 1 on field goals and 5 for 5 on extra points Green Bay and Seahawks Defenses Do you seriously think this will be a defensive battle of attrition? If so, nothing I say will convince you otherwise.Matt didn’t mention this, but I think one of these defenses gets a score off their turnover. But in the long run does that matter?Projection for Packers: 38 points allowed with 2 sacks and 1 turnover Projection for Seahawks: 41 points allowed with 3 sacks and 1 turnover Cody Kessler's return to Jacksonville lasted seven plays and ended with a slow walk to the visitors' locker room.Philadelphia's third-string quarterback was knocked out of the team's 24-10 preseason victory against the Jaguars on the opening drive Thursday night. Defensive end Datone Jones came unblocked off the edge and walloped Kessler in the back.Kessler was escorted to the sideline, evaluated for a head injury in the locker room and then placed in the concussion protocol. The team already was without backup Nate Sudfeld, who broke his left wrist in the team's preseason opener against Tennessee. Starter Carson Wentz rested for the second straight game. He watched from the sideline in uniform, but without pads and a helmet."In my 14 years playing or while coaching, I don't know if I've ever been a part of where we lost two quarterbacks like this," coach Doug Pederson said. "The beauty of it is that we get them both back and we've still got a couple weeks of preseason to work out some of the details."Pederson said the team would evaluate Kessler's recovery over the weekend before deciding whether to sign another quarterback."We can get by with just two guys," Pederson said. "It does put a little more load on both of those guys, but ... we're not ruling (Kessler) out until we evaluate him."Rookie Clayton Thorson, the only other QB on the roster, played three-plus quarters and completed a 38-yard touchdown pass to former college quarterback and Alliance of American Football receiver Greg Ward on fourth down in the second quarter.Thorson beat the blitz by lofting a deep ball toward the left sideline. Ward was a couple of steps behind safety C.J. Reavis, made an acrobatic catch and then outran two defenders to the end zone. It was another big play in the past three weeks for the 5-foot-11 wideout who threw for 8,704 yards and accounted for 91 touchdowns in four years at Houston.Ward finished with two receptions for 42 yards. He also attempted a pass on an end-around play.Thorson completed 16 of 26 passes for 175 yards https://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Cody-Kessler-Jersey , with a touchdown and an interception that led to a late score.Neither team played many starters.The Eagles (1-1) rested tight end Zach Ertz, defensive tackle Tim Jernigan, running back Darren Sproles, center Jason Kelce, receivers DeSean Jackson and Nelson Agholor and others.The Jaguars (0-2) sat 31 guys, including quarterback Nick Foles, cornerback Jalen Ramsey, running back Leonard Fournette, linebacker Myles Jack and defensive ends Yannick Ngakoue and Calais Campbell.Rookie Gardner Minshew started in place of Foles for the second straight week and looked better than his debut in Baltimore. Minshew, who threw for 46 yards in a 29-0 loss to the Ravens, completed 19 of 29 passes for 202 yards. He tightened his grip on the backup job."At the end of the day, he did a lot," Jaguars coach Doug Marrone said. "He did a lot for me. ... He's good now. I like him. He doesn't get rattled."Here are some other things to know about the exhibition game:REUNION NIGHTFoles and Kessler were among a handful of players facing their former team.Foles and Wentz shared a hug near midfield during warmups. Kessler, who started four games for Jacksonville in 2018, exchanged pleasantries with several ex-teammates.Eagles defensive tackle Malik Jackson, who spent the last three years with the Jaguars, chatted with Campbell and Fournette during halftime.SLOPPY SERIESJacksonville scored for the first time in the preseason on Josh Lambo's 36-yard field goal just before halftime. The Jags squandered a good chance earlier in the quarter when Michael Walker let a deep pass slip through his hands on second down and then Minshew was sacked and fumbled on the next play."We've got to come up with that catch," Marrone said.KEY INJURIESJaguars running back Alfred Blue left the game in the first half with a left ankle injury and did not return. ...UP NEXTEagles host Baltimore next Thursday. Wentz isn't expected to play.Jaguars play at Miami, and Marrone said at least some starters will play for the first time in the preseason.
