People streaming defenses is becoming more common. If you don't stay ahead of it you are not going to get the prime matchup.You guys are actually drafting two defenses?

I have no issues streaming defenses at all but I will never draft two of them. That's just a wasted roster spot for me. When I need to stream I just pick up who I need off waivers.People streaming defenses is becoming more common. If you don't stay ahead of it you are not going to get the prime matchup.
I can't say you are wrong. You have to balance the opportunity cost. For me, the opportunity cost is someone like DeAndre Washington sitting on waivers. There are other similar players on waivers. Sure, I could miss out if Lynch goes down and he becomes the main guy (not even guaranteed). But I need to score points too so I'm OK to roll with 2 defenses in order to stay ahead and always have a likely top 5 matchup each week.I have no issues streaming defenses at all but I will never draft two of them.

I don't mind having two defense on my team during the season but when I draft it's anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks before the first game. I want to have as many RBs and WRs on my team as possible in case and injury or major change happens. I don't want to risk them being on waivers. It's much easier for me to replace a defense during the season than it is that big RB or WR, those are the guys that win championships for teams.I can't say you are wrong.

that being said, I'd certainly bail on the 2nd spot if there was a waiver player I just had to have at any point.
I think ATL @ CHI and BUF v. NYJ are the top two plays for DT streamers Week 1Nobody likes ATL vs Chicago?
:money:How are people not salivating over the thought of starting LAR at home vs. Tolzien?
Hope you stuck with the Panthers. They were a wall all game.I'm rethinking the Carolina D this week. With the way the SF offense was clicking in that third preseason game and the fact that Hoyer threw exactly zero interceptions in his six games for the Bears last year I just am not liking this matchup at SF that much. I'm a Carolina homer as well. Leaning towards the Falcons or Bills.
Total waste. Big fat zero. I may only consider these guys again if the play Gomer Manning and his atrocious OL.Dropped Rams (vs IND) for Texans (vs. JAX) - what a mistake that was!
Still got the W though.
Yes.Looking towards Week 2: Am I crazy to be looking at Cleveland for short term?
Looked good vs. PIT (without Myles Garrett), & has favorable schedule upcoming
(@ BAL)
(@ IND)
(vs. CIN)
(vs. NYJ)
(@ HOU)
Going to do some more research but looks promising.
Texans have me really worried. Yes, it was Week 1, and Fournette looks like he can perform against even the stoutest lines, but your comment about how the atrocious O aligns with my own thoughts about how it will affect the D going forward. Again, knowing that JAX D has steadily improved with talent over the last few years and it's really starting to show now on the field, which made the day that much longer for the Texans.Total waste. Big fat zero. I may only consider these guys again if the play Gomer Manning and his atrocious OL.
Forget the Texans D. Their O is so bad the other team only needs to score a TD and run the ball, eat the clock and take home the W.
You may very well be right, but Bradford looked great last night. Yes, I know that he was playing the sisters of the poor, BUT if you go back to his last several games of last season it looks like there is a very positive trend here. For once he has the same OC for two years in a row and he has some legit offensive weapons.My 2 final round picks of Steelers and Baltimore (in 2 leagues) are looking great.
Why would you not want to play Steelers this week? Bradford will not play like that in Pittsburgh vs a real def

I would have thought Oakland would have been a more certain option for week 2. I will go with them if I get them, dropping Pittsburgh.Only possible options on the WW in mine are browns, Oakland, and the steelers who I already have.
Do not not feel confident about it but going with steelers as of right now

(risky)TMTop 7 of 14 Sunday Matchups...not in order
$$$ Chargers hosting Fish - Bosa & Engram vs New QB team that is playing their Week 1 in Week 2 but to be fair they are better off with Cutler than Tannehill (risky)
$$ Ravens hosting Brownies - Rookie QB who showed poise and moxie (2 platitudes for the price of 1) in Week 1 but Suggs is eating souls to rejuvenate his Chi (risky)
$$$ Rams hosting Skins - Most expect the Rams to revert to garbage and the Skins to stop being garbage; don't believe either (risky).
$$ Panthers hosting Buffalo - Any team that calls their QB T Mobile deserves to have a mudhole stomped in their a$$ (this is the kind of keen insight I provide). (risky)
$$$$ Raiders hosting J E T S - Raiders dominated a good team away, what do they do to a team with "issues" at home?
$$$ Seattle hosting Bryan Hoyer - It's Bryan Hoyer. And Michael Bennett has PTSD. Ungood.
$$$$ Arizona visits Jacoby Brissett - A team who's window has closed is still clinging to the notion that they can win it all this year.
My top choice is Raiders. Second choice Cardinals. Third choice Seahags. Pivot is Chargers ("Bad Cutler" shows his ugly face in Miami's Week 1).
I dropped Buffalo for Oak, good luck.I will try to get Oak. If not, rolling with the Rams again.
Same. Gonna ride this Jet train. It wasn't as great as some other results this week but I think it will be the most consistent.I dropped Buffalo for Oak, good luck.
