Best Fantasy Schedules For DEF/ST (1 Viewer)

Best Week 14-16 schedules for defenses based on results from Weeks 1-10 (based on fantasy leagues scoring points allowed and yardage allowed plus regular DEF/ST fantasy categories).

Each column represents the ranking for Week 14, Week 15, Week 16, and total of the 3 weeks for each team in the right column. So BAL faces

IND 3rd most points allowed to fantasy DEF/ST

SD 8th most points allowed to fantasy DEF/ST

CLE 9th most points allowed to fantasy DEF/ST

Total of the rankings for those 3 weeks = 20

Cool - jives with week 10 rent-a-defense which recommended TEN/NE as pre-emptive D/ST pickups for the playoffs.

 
crap, i wonder if i could get the ravens defense for the bengals and damian williams

if you can sacrifice to get the ravens defense, definitely you should do it. schedule for the rest of the year: CIN, SF, CLE, IND, SD, CLE. of course they just lost to the seahawks, but i can't imagine not starting them every week with confidence from here on out (maybe except week 15 against SD, but just pick up the titans!)

 
I don't really see Baltimore's schedule as being any better than Cincy's. Houston with Leinart should rocket up the Def pts against rankings.

...who the hell would drop the 49ers defense anyway....

the same thing actually happened in my league... it was earlier on in the year when there were still some question marks about how great their DEF was pretty close to after they lost to Dallas...i spent as much waiver wire money as i could on them hah

I disagree. Houston will look like an AFC SanFran, but with a better OLine and a better stud receiver. Not gonna be a lot for defenses there. I bet they can run the ball 45+ times and only pass out of play action and still run the table.

Probably true, but their scoring will almost certainly go down. Plus Leinart is going to have to throw the ball some, and he will throw INTs. You can bank on that. I'm just saying I don't think they'll be nearly as bad a matchup as they have been.

I'd bet they're still bad, maybe worse. I'll take the under on one turnover per game from Leinart.
 
Yeah that worked well for Baltimore last week when they faced Seattle - supposedly the #2 team in giving-up points to the defense... :rolleyes:

Baltimore managed only 1 sack and a fumble against the lowly Seahawks. Fact is since the bye this defense has been very pedestrian against their opponents and have not scored a Def/ST TD since their Sunday night dust-up of the Jets over a month ago.

Wasn't Seattle at home? Seattle is the most drastically different home/away team in the league.

I'll take the over and it's not even close.
 
CIN - Hou Stl Arz

With no Schaub, Cincy should shoot up the charts.....thats good because i was worried who I would play the 1st week of the playoffs.

Yes, they will try to play a conservative game...but good defenses will make Leinart have to make some plays. Unless something drastic has changed, Leinart will hold the ball too long in the pocket(more sacks)and will turn the ball over if rushed.

 
Whoever is playing KC needs to be bumped up here. Actually I suppose they might improve under Orton. Maybe bump any team playing CHI/Hanie.

Grabbed TEN a couple of weeks ago and very happy with yesterday's results. If you've got a bye or your seed locked up they are the easiest to acquire as many have left them on the wire.

I have held on to HOU and grabbed TEN last week as well. week 15/16 = :moneybag:

I grabbed Tenn. two week sago and they're on my bench this week :wall: Went with the consensus pick of SEA at home :hot: Looking forward to weeks 15 & 16 :thumbup:
 
great information here. Tennessee obviously has a great schedule for weeks 15 and 16, but not so much for week 14. Houston's been a great D this year and also has good matchups in weeks 15 and 15, but not quite as good as Tennessee (and Houston also has a bad matchup in week 14). Would you take Tennessee over Houston for weeks 15 and 16 (with another D for week 14)?

 
Packers are looking better with QB changes in KC and CHI weeks 15-16. They already lead the league in interceptions.

 
I picked up CIN, for the playoffs, but I might have to pick up TEN so they aren't used against me in Week 15-16. Then again, 3 of the other 4 contenders in my league have BAL, SF, and NYG, so they ain't changing.

Isn't the CIN defense without Leon Hall now? And haven't they been tailing of lately?

gotta love NE and TEN combo. I picked them up a while back thanks to David's thread here.

Seattle + Tennessee is what I'm running, Rams, Colts, Jags.

Seattle was a great play vs Philly at home THU also, then StL next week (14). Probably the best out there for weeks 13-14.They have StL at home next week, if you can still get them do so.Anyone have any other thoughts on week 13 possibilities? These seem like the best right now to me, I went with Oakland just because they have been on such a role. Miami has actually been not a great defensive matchup for quite a few weeks now, but again Oakland is looking really on fire right now and even Dallas had a decent score vs them last week. All the other best matchups are facing mostly held defenses this week, so this is a challenging one. DENTBMiaOakTEN

I know this is far ahead, but what about Week 16? Titans are already gone in my league.
Click to expand...
OAK vs KC, Minny vs Wash (not really liking Washington as a + matchup since Helu started toting the rock 20+ times per game tho), Wash vs Minny are the three that jump out and are possibly on a lot of WW.Seattle/Tennesse combo on that chart scores 39.42 or 22% better than the best single D setup. Grab it if you can.

Does anyone see Indy losing value as a defensive matchup with Orlovsky in there? Also, Miami, wow, are they coming around.
Click to expand...
Couple of excellent points. In standard D scoring leagues, Orlovsky is probably still a plus matchup, makes dumb decisions and turns the ball over. In yardage allowed scoring leagues, he's definitely capable of flinging it all over the yard in garbage time.Not a fan of Miami's schedule but that D is tops on my 2012 sleeper list, a potential top 5 D you can grab late.
 
In my league I managed to corral MIA and TEN onto my team, but now that I earned a bye, and saw this list, I think I'm dropping MIA for CIN. Hope this matchup data works out for me!
