I know there are plenty of instances of fantasy D's scoring >30, >40, and even >50 points historically in a single game.
Was searching around for stats for all-time highest average scoring fantasy D over the course of the season.
Because this NE D has to be on pace to be, if not already, the best in that category.
This team has not scored less than 13 points in my league's system all year (which may be above average as we get points for 3-and-outs, blocked kicks, and both yards and points allowed).
They are at 29.50 tonight for me at around the 3 min mark left in the game, and through this season so far, averaging a whopping 25.5 points per game, with a high of 41 point in Week 2.
They are scoring like an RB1 -- maybe like a QB1 -- so far this year.
This torrid streak has to come back to earth at some point. But they are literally the main reason I am atop the standings right now, and I am sure it's the same for those like me with the foresight to draft them, or those lucky enough to grab them on the wire in the first week or two of the season.
It's absolutely ridiculous. Yes, they have the great benefit for being in a 10-ply division (not you, Bills, you are definitely solid competitors), but this D is not only solid with great players at all 3 levels, but they play incredibly opportunistically and with true cohesiveness.
Is this the best all-time fantasy D?
Will they crash back to earth midseason when their schedule isn't so ridiculously soft (Cle, @Bal, @Phi, Dal, @Hou, KC)?
