I picked up Pitt off of waivers, but KC is out there too. Chiefs at home are substantially better than away. Probably same goes for Pitt, being away, but Houston is a dumpster fire.

Debating between LAC, DET, and DAL. Wilson was sacked seven times last week. Something tells me Lawrence may sack him seven times this week by himself.

Bold move if you start DAL. Was considering going Zeke and DAL D/ST in DFS. Hard to imagine Wilson having another stinker though? I would probably go LAC. I like DET - Yes, I'm a homer since before Super Bowl days. They get there's. Now talk me out of MIN Golden Gopher.
I have the Chiefs and Vikes Defense. I have to pick one for the finals. Im thinking the Chiefs at home vs the Dolphins sounds like the play. I started the Vikings last weekend and it paid off. I tend to agree with Smokin'. Green Bay plays conservative at home. Vikings are not as hungry as the Chiefs since they clinched. Chiefs control their destiny and are at home for a must win. Im leaning towards Chiefs Def this weekend.

Well, if you’re looking for a reason to not start MIN, here are a couple. First, they’ve largely been a bend but don’t break unit this year. Very few big plays (the TD against CIN seemed like the first all year). Maybe that was the start of something.... I don’t know. Either way, MIN has definitely been a prime example of a defense that is much better in reality than they are in fantasy this year, especially compared to last year.
Secondly, they’re playing GB at Lambeau. And nobody wants to spoil MIN’s chances of possibly pulling off the number one seed more than the Pack and their fans. So even without Rodgers and Adams, I expect GB to be amped and ready to go for this one. A Saturday night kickoff gives this matchup the feel of a first-round playoff game. It’s basically a must-win for MIN, if they want any chance at home field throughout. And, for the Pack, this is basically their SB this year.
That said, I think MIN is easily a top ten option this week, and probably closer to top five.
What are are your other options?

The chargers are getting a lot of love everywhere but I don't see it. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't they down a DT, linebacker and the one really good CB that got burned by Hill last week is still gimpy? Plus west coast to east coast and a Jets team that won't lay down. I'm playing Rams over them even though they too are west to east coast.
My toughest decision is Philly versus Pitt. Like Philly to crush Oakland but who knows????

I have MIN plugged as of now. We also play week 17 in this league and MIN gets da Bears. If I drop MIN to pick up any of these then there is no guarantee I can get them back.
CHI, PIT, KC, CAR, PHI, or LAR - all very good options. Or DAL...
Crazy how often I check and ponder these decisions. Some like MIN a lot, and some have them around 12-15 this week. Yes, they finally scored a defensive TD last week and Zimmer acknowledged that and yes, perhaps it's a sign for more to come. I just sense that MIN will crush the Pack while many see it a close game. I mean Hundley, no Adams, and relying on Williams and Jones to establish a ground game against that defense? I see it MIN 27 - GB 17. I want picks, sacks, fumbles, and defensive scores - lol.

I would avoid Dallas, don't expect Wilson to have 2 clunkers in a row. This could very well be a high scoring affair.

I kinda sense that too! Everything on the line, pulling out all the stops... it's win or go home.
I’ve got to decide from
Redskins
Rams
Chargers
Leaning Rams right now. Mariota’s been turning the ball over and not running much. Probably can’t go wrong with the Redskins either with Denver offense being anemic right now. What do you guys say?
