Computer Love

This week’s Sirius/XM show is shaping up to be a much less contentious one.

As the Trashman is two weeks removed from his self-indulgent, and completely free, wedding tour, he has agreed to accept his repositioned role as a co-star to the RosterWatch Computer. Tune in Saturday night to Sirius 210 / XM 87 to hear them make friends- and to get the last word on all of your Week 12 questions.

So, who does the robot genius love this week?

Week 12 Computer Wide Receiver Love:

Vincent Jackson, WR Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Speaking of the Trashman, Vincent Jackson is a player he has defiantly hated ever since VJax virtually missed the entire 2010 season only to return and unleash a late-season three-touchdown throbbing monster that took the Trashman’s playoffs hopes directly to the dumpster. The Computer on the other hand, loves non-touchdown-dependent target monsters like Vincent Jackson, when they have great matchups. Just ask Antonio Brown. The Computer’s composite metrics give VJax a 100% matchup rating against the Lions this week.

Josh Gordon, WR Cleveland Browns
The Computer says that Josh Gordon has the highest rated measures of central tendency of any completely human wide receiver in the NFL. His median scoring is in the stratosphere. Chalk up double digit points for Josh Gordon against Pittsburgh in Week 12.

Torrey Smith, WR Baltimore Ravens
Variance is a statistical measure than can sometimes short circuit the Computer. He has a strong dislike for variance. Fortunately for Torrey Smith owners, Smith has very little variance to his game. His production is tightly clustered around center, and is of the very organic, non-touchdown dependent variety- just the way the Computer loves it. Throw in a sick matchup and a slew of targets- and Torrey Smith is set to make sweet Computer Love in Week 12 against the New York Jets.

Michael Floyd, WR Arizona Cardinals
Last week, the Computer told you that Alshon Jeffery had closed the gap on his more notable teammate, Brandon Marshall- and you saw what happened. Such is the case with Michael Floyd. If we told you that Larry Fitzgerald had a 99% matchup rating in Week 12, the Computer says you would start him 996 times out of 1,000. The same goes for Floyd in Week 12 against the Colts.

Kendall Wright, WR Tennessee Titans
The Computer loves a player whose fantasy scoring average is supported by the median. Predictability is a highly valued quality to the Computer. Wright garners the Computer’s Week 12 Love in a fashion similar to Torrey Smith, as the Titans go to Oakland. Expect 7-13 points.
