Devito starting for the Giants. Lock in a walking boot.

Ravens defense even more on the rise in my opinion.
Yup.

Hell I may stack the Ravens D with J. Tucker now even though he's been iffy. I can't see the NYGs moving the ball at all and Tucker could use this game as a no pressure situation to get right after the BALT offense has already buried the NYG.
I am wrestling with Tucker as well, currently rolling with Moody.
Tuckers been riding my bench behind Lutz and McLaughlin, and soon to be Butker.

Who in the hell carries that many kickers? Or did I misunderstand your post?

10 team league, 25 man rosters. deep benches. Trying to corner the market on best available Ks for the next 3 weeks so I don't have to face them in the playoffs.

Thinking Tucker over Aubrey as well here.

Lmfao this is wild
 
Any reason to keep the Chiefs D (HOU, @Pit)?

I have Broncos (@LAC and @CIN) but I want to pickup INDY (TEN, @NYG) so need to drop a D.
I have Denver too, Do you like there Matchups against LAC and CIN or do you just think set and forget since they are so good?
I may not use them. I may roll with the colts. That bring said, Denver has been a better scoring D vs Chiefs which is why I need to drop them.
Who do you like better week 16 PPR:

GB vs NO
Ariz vs Car
Den vs LAC
Det vs Chi?
Does PPR affect your defense’s scoring?
 
I had to drop the Broncos during their bye week. Thought I would pick up Arizona D, which had been playing well, and ride them the rest of the way if I couldn’t get Denver back. Let’s just say my confidence in them is somewhat shaken after they put up a neg-burger last Sunday.

Question is, do I use a waiver claim to try to get Denver back? Normally I wouldn’t on a defense, but this isn’t just a streamer. Especially since there aren’t great options during the rest of the playoffs, I think if I did get Denver I would ride them the rest of the way even though their Week 16-17 matchups aren’t ideal (LAC/KC)
Only option I have left is TB. So I'm sticking with AZ. They're home against a bad team that plays ok on offense. Not confident about it anymore but hoping it was 1 bad game.
 
Took Arizona last week and they bombed
added Washington this week and will choose one of them by Sunday

Did have Buffalo and San Fran but match ups really dictate what you can expect, Niners especially have bad match ups next couple weeks
Next week assuming I advance, only 4 teams left, the others all seem pretty set on Defense, I can always re-acquire if I want

Looking at the Jets in one league vs the Jags but you can't trust the NY Jets
 
Please help. Week 16 defenses available to me. Who do you like best?

Chargers home vs. Denver
Colts home vs. Titans
Falcons home vs. Giants
Rams away at Jets
Bucs away at Cowboys
Raiders Home vs. Jags
 
Swapped out TB for Indy myself as a potential week 16/17 play. Don’t like that panthers matchup as much as I did when I initially picked up TB.
 
Is Den Def Droppable for week 16 & 17 LAC & CIN?
Don't want to make them available to possible opponents but Charbonnet is available . I don't need him I have Bijon, Barkley and Kamara but wanted to grab him to block opponents who have lesser backs for next week in case Walker can't go again?
 
Washington def (Saints) or Green Bay def (Seahawks)?
I like Washington vs Back up QB
I get it and currently have Washington in, but looking at their fantasy scoring it isn't very good. However, I do see a possible double digit game today and strong possiblity of 7-9 pts.

I guess it depends what your situation is in your game this week. If you are favored the safe floor play is probably GB but if you are not favored the boom play with Backup QB in NO probably having to throw to keep up is Wash. Good luck . could you help me with my question? thanks?

All im saying is I do think for sure GB is the better Def. Soim just saying they probably have less chance of totally falling apart in a game. Any comment on my question. Thanks

I guess it depends on what other defenses are available on the wire, but I would lean toward just keeping Denver, since we don’t know what role charbonnet will actually have next week. If you own or can get another quality defense option, then I would consider going for charbonnet

Pittsburgh definitely droppable with matchups against Phi, Balt, then KC (only place I’d start them). Going to pick up Buffalo for NE next week, then the jets. Definitely the move I should do right now right? I have Denver going this week anyway.

I would rather pickup Charbs over a keeping a defense, regardless whether I needed him. Who knows, you may end up needing him. So yes, I would drop Denver Def for Charbs.

If you have GB, AZ and Den I would drop AZ. They got me -2 last week and don't seem to be on the right track. And Panthers are no longer a cake matchup.

Generally, any starting RB is better than any DST, unless your DST is facing a horrific offense.
 
Side note: charb housed me last week in one league which I thought was the end of the regular season and knocked me out of the playoffs but now I was looking back at his game while considering this and realized that we actually still have the regular season this week, so fortunately I was able to reset my lineup better…so if nothing else, this question was worth asking…
 
Staring down the choice between the red-hot #1 DEN defense against the beat up chargers vs the middling IND def against the un-red hot Titans in both leagues semifinals. DEN scored 4 points against the chargers last time and has been making hay against weak opponents. Either feels startable, leaning Indy but waffling
 
I have Bills vs NEP and Colts vs TEN. Leaning Bills between these two. However, Falcons vs the NYG (with either Boyle or a dinged up DeVito/Lock at QB) are sitting on the waiver.

Thinking I might drop Tillman/Sincere for ATL and then choose the wrong one of those three this weekend.
 
The cupboard is bare in my league. Looking at Falcons or Raiders. The sneaky play could be the Texans if Mahomes doesn't play.
 
Looks like quite a few good streaming options for the semifinals in my league.

I have the Bucs @ Dallas currently in but am looking at waivers and see lots of intriguing options:

Indy vs Tennesee
Houston @ KC (no mahomes??)
Atlanta vs NYG
KC vs Houston
LAC vs Denver

Any strong opinions here??

I have the same two options -- BUF and Indy.

Also see HOU and ATL on the wire. May try and block my opponent and grab HOU in case Mahommes doesn't play. I almost want my opponent to pick up ATL. That's not a good football team and the NYGs didn't do to poorly against a BALT D that was supposed to crush them. I bet Lock is back this week too.

Will probably come down to BUF vs Indy. I lean BUF as well at home in the cold. As a NE fan, I know that this team is completely dysfunctional right now. Maye will cause some trouble, but NE just shoots themselves in the foot constantly with penalties and miscues.

Indy I fear could be a trap. Tough loss, basically out of it now. If TN starts Mason over Levis then forget them as an option.

The cupboard is bare? The cupboard is bounteous there! You've probably named something like the 2nd, 5th and 10th best options as fantasy defenses this week.
 
Who is your killer, can't miss, must have DST for week 17?

Mine was going to be LAC that I was going to start over MIN in the league I'm still alive in, because they play NE that week, but giving up 40 to TB the other day has me questioning things. I'm looking elsewhere and would love the sage advice this thread offers.

Titans Jags play each other week 17. I think I’d lean Titans there.

I’m also considering SEA @CHI. Not much available otherwise.

Dolphins @CLE could be ok with DTR at the helm.
