2025 Team Defense & Defense by Committee Thread (7 Viewers)

I should have known better than to go against common sense knowing playing a defense of a bad team (Dolphins) against another bad team (Wash) isn't a good play. It almost always backfires.

LOL I can’t pick a DST to save my life this year.

Moving off Atlanta and sticking with Cleveland might have been my smartest move of the year. These things never work out for me.

ATL was fine.

honestly I’m just looking for positive points every week.

high floor, high ceiling in my league.

They scored 3 points in my league. That is not a high floor for me.

@NFLPlus
The @Broncos defense leads the NFL with 49 sacks this season on 438 dropbacks

Their 11.2% sack percentage would be the highest in a season in the @NextGenStats era (since 2018)

ymmv.

taking a quick look at other defenses on the waiver wire in my league, they all have multiple weeks where they scored either 1, 0, or negative points.

ATL scored 4 today, one of their lowest outputs.

I’ll take it.

just looking for my defense to not lose the game for me.

@SleeperBengals
The Bengals have now given up 27+ points in nine consecutive games.

That is the new NFL record.

1 in my league. How is that fine?

They made Bryce Young look all world. That’s hard to do. Sorry - can’t be trusted. I thought they would be fired up in a revenge game. Only worry was Dowdle. But hey, if they get ahead, force Bryce to pass then yeah, could be a lot of turnovers. Game script went exactly as planned - and Young TORCHED them. Bryce freakin Young

Eagles make statement on defense, shut down Jared Goff, Lions

obviously different scoring in your league, so not acceptable for you.

they got 5 sacks, which was enough for 4 points in my league.

 

[jobarules]

Eagles d looks like an eventual league winner

Next week LV vs Sanders led Browns and Saints vs Falcons without Penix and London look spicy. Both can be picked up now. Saints schedule in particular looks incredible.

Scoring system is out of wack if that lousy performance got you 4 points. My god. I shifted away last second, but that D fooled a bunch of people once again...along with all the "experts" ranking them top 5 last week.

My season is going to come down to week 13.
Any defenses stand out to you guys that week? SF plays the Browns?? Maybe I try to acquire them?

I've been riding Detroit & Houston combo but they both have matchups I don't love. Detroit vs GB & Houston @ Indy.

Philly is available vs Chicago but Ben Johnson scares me.

 

[Schmeabs]

Go grab Las Vegas defense now as they get to feast on Shadeur next week.

What position does he play? I wouldn't hesitate in playing the Eagles defense against Chicago.
