BAL for week 12 (OAK) and week 15 (TB) both home games, but they have really sucked lately too! Then decided to drop JAX and pick up LAR, who were dropped because of KC and a bye this week. I consider LAR the #1 D/ST at this current moment in time. Week 13 (@ DET), week 14 (@ CHI), 15 (PHI), 16 (@ ARI). May not hold BAL just for week 15 to open up another roster spot and wait n' see about week 15 - maybe just go LAR ? The way Wentz played last week, GEESH!As my past posts here say ad nauseum, I also own Baltimore, and aside from this weekend, only one other match up -- against TB in WK 15 -- makes sense to start them from here on out, so dropping them after this game for one of the other options on your list -- all of whom have decidedly juicier matchups -- makes sense.
Of those you list, I think I like JAX the best if only because they seem to have the best complimentary schedule to TEN, and really only face a potential higher powered offense in IND in WK 13 (and it's arguable how high powered they are, which says a lot about the cupcake-ness of their other games.
I actually also like NE and IND as options -- both are playing fairly well fantasy D, both have some tasty match ups, and both play well at home -- IND in general and NE as the weather continues to chill.
JAX is slightly harder to trust, but they are gaining momentum, and seem to me to pair well with TEN.
Had a moment of wanting to start LAR against KC just because of the potential for a special teams TD, sure enough. Points against kinda cancelled that out. But, better than BAL last week who came up small with 1 point.
Hindsight prolly held JAX (dropped JAX for LAR - no way to hold 3 D's). I had to pick up LAR before last week to get them and JAX was playing PIT. PIT got the W, but the JAX D was flying all around.
