I decided to play them today. I hope they are able to get up in Carson's grill a lot.

Haven’t watched them since Week 1 v. the Lions but the Cardinals O-line play has been awful. They’ve given up the most sacks, most QB hits, & can’t run the ball (31st in yards & last in YPC.)

Skins and Atlanta look like this weeks darlings. Going for Atlanta first and then Washington. I have the Eagles and while I like most of their upcoming schedule, I don't like them enough to hold them through this week.

Missed Was and Atl... now have the unenviable task of picking through the scraps... Bucs, Colts (if Mariotta isn't going ) & Pats are in the running.

It's finally time for me to move on from the Steeler's D. They've been decent for me but it's time. I know the Redskins and Falcons have good match ups but the Jags defense is available. I know the Jags don't have a considered good match up but they have been playing great.
Big time.
Thought Steeler D would be solid vs JAX at home. Nope. Upcoming schedule no good either.
In my strike zone for waivers tonight in priority order.
* ATL vs Mia -- Cutler a disaster. ATL should get up big, horrible game script for MIA.
* WASH vs SF -- At home, Wash D has been pretty impressive. Minus Norman, but Hoyer can be had.
* NE @NYJ -- NE D showed signs they were getting it together last week. NYJ minus Forte/Powell.

I'm not sold on the Rams offense yet so I'm really considering picking up the Jags. They keep impressing.
JAX should not be on waivers. They are a primary hold and I think I'd play them every week.

Alot of people didn't like the match up against Steelers. I could see them being dropped in some leagues. They were dropped in one if mine.

Debating Washington over Carolina. I like the Panthers' D but Wentz is not an easy matchup. He's not turning the ball over right now and the Eagles should be able to score 20+ so if you're starting Carolina you're hoping for a massive number of sacks (which they did get in Week 5) and a defensive/special teams TD which is virtually impossible to predict.

I almost always get burned relying on Vegas when it comes to streaming so-so or worse defenses (and Washington's D without Norman might be really bad) but the matchup is good and Vegas loves them this week.
Risk is that Rams' strength (Gurley) plays into Jax's weakness (run D). You're hoping that they can sack/pick-off Goff enough to put up some points, but it could easily turn out badly.
I'm officially off the Rams and streaming the rest of the way. In one league, I already dropped them for Washington. In the other, I'll try to get Atlanta off the WW.
Was so sure Phillips would have his typical first-year impact, and they'd become elite the way Den/Hou did when he took over there as DC. Not sure what the problem has been. They haven't been terrible, but they're definitely not worth holding on to through bad match-ups (Fournette will run all over them this week) or byes.

That said, Jax looks good enough that if they were available, I would probably pick them up and take my chances on this week's match-up just to ensure I had them ROS.

Agree with the consensus that Washington and Atlanta look like the best options that are likely on most wires right now.
I wanted to also throw HOU's hat in the ring for discussion -- hard because they lost two really crucial playmakers in Watt and Mercilus, but they have a pretty solid matchup. They are not an option for me this week as I dropped them to make room for Cinci in WK 5, and it's a risk until we know how well they adjust to losing two key players, but they might be out there for people who have just scraps on the wire.

Baltimore at home vs. CHI seems pretty good, no? 73% owned, but available in my league.

Gotta make a claim this week with Cincy on bye......targeting the Ravens.

The jags are one of the worst matchups for opposing defenses. They barely pass the ball.

This is what I'm aiming for this week. Atl. at home against Cutler--low risk high reward.

Myself, I think it's a coin flip between the two -- both at home against beatable offenses, and they will both project to be Top 5 Ds this week.
While I think WAS has looked really impressive, I'm leaning towards ATL because of momentum of opponents. SF and Hoyer looked to have some spark last week. Cutler and MIA? Not so much.

Hope not as I need him as a potential flex option. Thought his sprain was deemed to be minor.
SameSongNDance

We've discussed him before in his dedicated thread so you know I own him in spots. There's close to a 0% chance I start him even if he does suit up. This was an ankle injury that he was supposedly over but reaggravated. He has no more byes, I hope he sits. If he plays I think he'll be limited. Plus, the match-up is pretty bad.

Ended up getting ATL.....did have doubts about dropping PIT as they had some good weeks but maybe can get them back later.

Alexander, David and Ward all look like they will be suiting up for TB this week. They are squarely on the radar IMO.

Not sure what to do. Have Pitt but don't want to play them. Considering Green Bay or Indy if Mariota is out.

Missed out on Was's defense because I underbid. Stuck with NO.

Interesting- is it me or has TB seemed to have been playing solid D when healthy?SameSongNDance said:
Wonder if they can be a candidate to hold.
