Locked In On Love
Great game for romantics ...
Let Matthew Berry rely on his highly defensible metrics and numbers. Let him proclaim his Love for players who have high projections in Week 9.
Me? I'm a bit more of a romantic …
Drew Lock vs. ARI
Berry's QB16
THIS GAME IS FOR THE ROMANTICS!
Remember when Drew Lock surprised us in Week 2 when he threw for 235 yards and 3(!) TDs against Arizona? With Sam Darnold absent again in Week 9, Lock is set to play ... Arizona? Again??
This is what we call a narrative, people! But this time around, there's an added bonus. SEA vs ARI is poised to be an epic battle between not one, but two elite backups: Lock & Gardner F'kin Minshew. (Minshew threw 3 TDs last week, by the way.)
Let Berry lean into the metrics. But for me, the ceiling is the limit for an unpredictable matchup between backups.
I'm just glad to see Drew Lock made Berry's Love list for Week 9. I’ve got thoughts on several more. Yes, including the Hates.
