Would you guys rather have DEN or WASH to pair with HOU? They both have amazing playoff schedules.
I would definitely wait to see how the next couple weeks shake out for Detroit. They're not a very good defense, and it's possible the wheels could come off.GoBirds said:
Also worth seeing how Allen and Rosen progress. Not saying they'll suddenly turn into Brady and Rodgers, but they may at least progress to the point where their opposing DSTs aren't autostarts.

Rolling with BUF this week, kept HOU through their bye. Dropped my backup QB today to pickup DEN. I rarely carry two DST so three is absurd but I like both schedules.
Week 11 waivers I’ll kick the Bills for a lottery ticket.

Agree, I was hopping to see if there was some new ideas for Defences or even Offensive lines. Have a cooler point system for D's and actually have one for Offensive lines. That with out playing IDP's

IND looks like a favorable D to hold and serviceable plays every week if needed? May play KC this week and weeks 13 @ OAK and 14 home vs. BAL

Rolling with KC this week and perhaps again in week 13 @ OAK. Just picked up BAL over IND on a hunch they get their crap together in weeks 11 & 12 at home with CIN and OAK. Maybe TB in week 15 too. IND looks juicy and may opt back in if available during that stretch run weeks 11-16, except week 14 @ HOU.

This is what I'm considering.
KC D @ Arizona this week.
Pitt D @ Jax Wk 11
Pitt D @ Denver Wk 12
KC D @ Oakland Wk 13
Washington D @ Giants, Jax, TN Wk 14, 15, 16

Would you rather have Was or MIN RoS?

BALT may well get their crap together but for whatever reason CINCY has BALT number... so i would be cautious about this matchup.

Back looking at IND's schedule again... a lot to like - how good are they anyway lol
I think it's time to ride or pair up two defenses from here on out. D/ST becomes a tad more key coming down the stretch.
Deciding between WAS, IND, BAL, KC - two of em

So much for thinking the Jets would be a good streamer.
Makes me think twice about how to stream teams that have such variable Ds like NYJ or IND, and just rely on name brands like BAL or DEN even when they are up against tough high powered offenses.
I know you can't always make the right calls streaming, and Any Given Sunday and all, but this is a beatdown that makes me think how you minimize risk of streaming a relatively non-trustworthy D in a good match up.

solid again, after last week's mess.
I'm rolling with them.
ETA: talking about WAS. they look good and gave up 3 on the road.

Minny is one of the top teams giving up points to opposing defenses. I have no problem rolling them out there. Those other two are great options as well.

MN middle of the pack in my scoring system in terms of points allowed.
With D. Cook and Diggs back and a bye to get their act together, not loving it.

Anybody liking AZ vs Oak as a top streamer? Cardinals D actually looked really good against the Chiefs vaunted offense, seemed to get a good bit of pressure on Mahomes most of the game. If they can do that against Carr, he should put up some turnovers.

Now that we’re nearly past the byes, seems a good time to set up the defenses for the stretch run. Washington and Denver look to be the best options on my wire currently for the week 13-16 stretch, but getting there isn’t going to be fun with those two (at least it doesn’t look like it right now).
Guess I’ll go with AZ hosting Oakland this week.

WIth a continued competitive atmosphere in my league around streaming Ds, leading to some hoarding, I have BAL and NYJ, looking to add DEN by dropping a bye week coverage TE, and adding TEN by dropping NYJ. Also have ARI, MIA, and BUF queued up if I lose out on DEN or TEN (which given my waiver priority, I expect to).
Slim pickings.

Flap...what do you think of CHI D vs MN this week? Debating CHI vs what look like the best two streamers -- AZ (vs OAK), and PIT (@JAX).

someone sniped PIT so CAR it is! they've given up 16 sacks the last two weeks, since Tate was traded, so keep pounding or whatever.
At 9-1 I'm assured of making my playoffs so right now I'm mostly setting up to try and win a title. For D/ST I have two:
Lions vs AZ week 14
Lions vs BUF week 15
Bears vs @SF week 16
Bears vs @MIN week 17
But I am taking a risk this week waiving the Lions to grab a BYE week replacement for my TE (Njoku) which I will dump the following week. I don't want to waive Njoku as the guys I am using in his BYE weeks aren't great. If I don't get one of my TEs I'll grab a backup QB with that slot. (only have Cam and Dak and Mariotta are both available).
It is tough. I don't want to drop any of my RB/WRs with the weakest being Howard and Lockett. Or maybe Davis/SEA.

Would be crazy to sit the Bears D right now for a streamer. Killing teams and now Mack is back. Obviously, nothing is a sure thing in the current state of offenses in the NFL, but the Bears are as safe of a start as you can get. I wish I owned them.

I wouldn't stash Detroit. Not only do they have a horrible defense but AZ is looking better lately with Leftwich as OC and Buffalo will get back Allen.

Agreed. THey are a set and forget it now EXCEPT for week 14 @LAR and week 15 vs GB. Thankfully I have basically locked up the bye so I only have to worry about week 15. I am already stashing CIN vs OAK for that week. That being said, I probably would have no issue rolling them out vs Rodgers if I had to.

Guess I'm grabbing Titans D off the ww for the Jets bye this week
