Kayvon Thibodeaux, problem? No, the Giants have a defensive problem
Who is the best version of this lighter, faster d lineman/edge guy who plays standing up and also with his hand in the dirt? feels like teams are trying to hit on a guy with this profile but rarely works.Kayvon Thibodeaux, problem? No, the Giants have a defensive problem
missed tackle and two receptions given up in coverage last night, though he did get his first sack
reminds me of Travon Walker - the athleticism and traits don't match the expected production
Agree. I feel like they are hiding him from playing at Seattle.I honestly don't know whether it makes them a better or a worse option. Not because I think Dalton is a better QB. But he might be less mistake-prone than a rookie in his third game, and mistakes are what you most want out of the QB facing your defense.Bryce Young not practicing today. Seahawks looking like a good choice
In any event, it was already a good matchup, so I don't know if this changes things much one way or the other. It really comes down to how much weight you put on matchup vs. defensive talent

like deion jones in his first couple years was really good. i guess hassan reddick might count.
I have KC only and am not too worried, but if I had baltimore I would definitely consider them. I would have more faith in minshew and Steichen than the bears tire fire though.starting to question KCC this weekend with Bolton out and Gay questionable
my other option is Ravens at home vs Colts
Lousy weather and sloppy grass might keep the score low.I think I'm going to stick with the Commanders this week 3 but they're playing the BIlls so a bit concerned about doing this. Seahawks (vs. Panthers) are available. Thoughts?
I live maybe 20 miles from FedEx Field. Right now there is no noticable wind but it is wet, wet, wet. My basement flooded a bit (not uncommon, my foundation is brick and over 100 years old). Tropical Storm Ophelia has been downgraded to a Depression, but it's still tracking to be nearby at kickoff. One model has it directly hitting FedEx Field, but all the other lines have it passing South to varying degrees.Lousy weather and sloppy grass might keep the score low.I think I'm going to stick with the Commanders this week 3 but they're playing the BIlls so a bit concerned about doing this.

Anyone have a list for early best options for playoff defenses yet?
Isn't that what we said about facing Chicago?KC going to feast something fierce on NYJ.
They were top 5 on the week and probably one of the highest started. Chicago runs too much but the chiefs had a really nice floor. Jets run too but the chiefs will also have a floor. I’ll take 10 pts over 2 any dayIsn't that what we said about facing Chicago?KC going to feast something fierce on NYJ.

They were number 6 in standard ESPN scoring and if they didn't put Gabbert in who threw that stupid interception, they probably would have given up at least 7 fewer points.Each league is different, I would say they were barely top 10 last week.They were top 5 on the week and probably one of the highest started.

Double digit pts in my league I'll take it. Wilson doesn't run going to be a blood bath. Book it.Isn't that what we said about facing Chicago?KC going to feast something fierce on NYJ.

I went the opposite side of the Tampa/NO matchup. NO was on waivers and picked them up. I am starting them over Buffalo and the Miami train has scared me off of BuffaloTampa Bay @ New Orleans - TB has played two very strong offenses and the Bears and they're still a top 10 scoring fantasy defense. They have at least 2 forced turnovers/game and are averaging 3 sacks/game. And they're facing a historic turnover machine in Jameis.
Indianapolis v Rams - 12 sacks racked up and a Rams team that looks like it's fading. It's tougher to sack Stafford because he gets rid of the ball quickly.
Bengals @ Titans - Based solely on them finally looking like they're remembering how good they can be. The Titans are a mess giving up over 4 sacks/game with 3 INTs
I'm leaning Bucs now but think any of these are a solid streaming option and very possibly available.
